<div dir="ltr">Tor only works directly as a SOCKS proxy. There are a couple options here - first is the 'torify' program (which uses tricks to force all sockets in a process to be sent through Tor even without application support for SOCKS). That'd be the simplest solution, probably. You could also set up a HTTP proxy to redirect to tor (this is what privoxy usually does - although it'd need to support non-HTTP connections, which i'm not sure it does), or simply use different software that includes SOCKS support :P<br>
<br>I don't think this is relevant in this situation, but always remember that passwords sent in plaintext over tor are visible to the exit node. FTP would fall under that category.<br><br clear="all">- John<br>

pkg_add, the perl tool that OpenBSD uses for installs and updates, uses<br>
ftp to fecth http and ftp files and sources.<br>
<br>
But in OpenBSD this ftp can't be socksified (otherwise using dsocks that<br>
do the job honestly), and so I don't know how to use it via tor.<br>

The ftp command in openbsd honors the http_proxy and ftp_proxy environment variable.<br>
See ftp(1) for details.<br>
