Hello everyone,

I'm going to reiterate, because I finally know how to ask this question.

Does anybody know how to configure the systemwide TOR service you can include when installing the system? So that it's actually usable and visible to IceCat and such?

Thanks in advance!

In your system configuration, include the following to your list of services:

(service tor-service-type)

Reconfigure and enjoy! Note that if you checked to include tge tor service when installing the system, it's already running. See tor-service-type on https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Networking-Services.html#Networking-Services for more information.

Tor is listening as a socks5 proxy on port 9050 on your machine. To configure icecat to use it, go to the network settings, proxy. You'll use the SOCKSv5 proxy setting. Hostname is localhost, and port is 9050. Check "proxy DNS when using SOCKSv5" to prevent leaks from your dns queries.

You can check you are connected through tor by going to check.torproject.org.

To make other applications use tor, configure them to use the socks proxy, or use torsocks when invoking them.

HTH!

I believe that you want to use the tor-service-type.  Take a look at the
guix manual services section.  That should give you all the info you need.
