You point your main active network interface gateway to a tor gateway or proxy.

Am I doing that editing the privoxy config file with this line?

‘forward-socks5t / 127.0.0.1:9050 .’

I now set up tor for firefox manually using https://www.wikihow.com/Use-Tor-with-Firefox. If the edited privoxy cofig file is the right way to go, didn’t I just double torify?

how does carburetor work? Do I simply activate it and that means all my traffic goes through tor? just like that? even if I open a terminal and sudo apt update, flatpak or yt-dlp something?

thanks for posting such a detailed answer.

about the different debian versions: I don’t know which one I should try first:

I found debian mac 12.5 netinst https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/bt-cd/ and I’m giving it a try.

Shouldn’t that work, I’ll try one of the live cds https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/bt-hybrid/

I paste the links to check if I have the right version

Incidentally, the data size difference is so surprising: 0.66 GB (debian mac netinst) against 3.17 GB (debian live). Can I have something in between?

Ubuntu Touch

does it spam users for subscriptions with ubuntu pro or other services each time the user updates or upgrades, even if done with the terminal?

I need to use one of these https://github.com/Skyedra/UnspamifyUbuntu not to get an invitation to join ubuntu pro each time I upgrade.

this never happened before. To me this is invasive, but otherwise it has worked well so far.
