back when I used ubuntu derivatives I used privoxy and edited the config file to route all my traffic through tor.

I just did the same on debian 12.6 and wonder if there’s a better alternative.

      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?

        (Not directly answering your question but) if it works like a VPN service then yeah. However, P2P connections might not be routed through TOR in that case. Be careful about that

        The commenter’s link has all kinds of useful information. I see links to code, instructions and uses. What exactly did you read that you still have questions on?
