Onion Control (anonymous proxy)

All right, like anything Tor-related, this requires a bit of patience to get it running properly. If all you need is to 'fire and forget', sure, follow the instructions *exactly* and you'll get the expected result. In my case, I've got a tweaked old macOS-based laptop (it's still x64). Because Apple has discontinued this version years ago, I have to run MacPorts to keep everything working nicely. MacPorts currently has a much more recent version of Tor than what Andy offers for download. In my case — remember, it's Mac! — I decided to install both Tor and its configurations as written by Andy under ~/Applications/torbin Then, inside this directory, I removed the binary and the dylib, and linked to the ones from MacPorts: that way, if those get updated (they will), there is no fear that it will break anything. Next comes what Andy calls "the NodeJS native client". This I also put under ~/Applications/torjs — and this is the path to place on the Extension configuration. Once all that is in place — well, it works. It's slightly more complex to set up than the built-in Tor connectivity of the Brave browser, but, on the other hand, I have a bit more control over what is being launched. It's a good compromise!
