Tor has announced Oniux, a new command-line tool for routing any Linux application securely through the Tor network for anonymized network connections.

Sometimes you want to get a program to send the complete network traffic over the Tor network. This is exactly what a new tool of the Tor project ensures. To do this, it puts individual applications in a separate network via Linux Namespaces. How do you make sure that the browser uses the anonymizing Tor network? Even wrong proxy settings suffice and the application directs its own network.

I don't know if you've seen it, but the Tor project has just released Oniux, a new tool that allows Linux applications to connect to the Tor network. That way, no more accidental data leaks, and goodbye to SOCKS configuration problems. Indeed, Oniux completely isolates your applications at the Linux kernel level, thus guaranteeing that each package is mandatory through Tor. It's a bit like your applications are entering the cookie protection pro…
