Good way to go is to launch Emacs by using `torify' command: $ torify emacs torify is now just a wrapper around torsocks(1) for backwards compatibility. Usage: /usr/bin/torify [-hv] [...] It then makes sure (but not sure how sure) that Internet that uses that command goes over Tor. > A super-simple approach is to have a switch with two settings: Tor, or > not Tor.
