Comment(by arma):

 Replying to [ticket:7944 akrey]:
 > On the tor-talk mailing list the idea was developed to have a standalone
 flash proxy that does not require a browser (and thus a display) to run
 in. Useful to run 24/7 on/behind home router and the like, esp. where the
 address is changing daily.

 Great idea!

 > David proposed using Rhino; there seem to be websocket clients for
 node.js as well. (How similar to a browser does this need to be?)

 My first thought is "hopefully not that similar to a browser at all" -- I
 can see porting the javascript browser stuff at first, but it seems to me
 that the protocol should be simple enough that a python script by itself
 should do it. Then we could imagine volunteers doing an apt-get install of
 the deb, and suddenly they're helping glue Tor users together, even behind
 nat, without ever having to think about it again. Extra points that these
 flash proxies would be way more stable than a typical browser tab.
