Comment (by yawning):

 Upon deeper thought, the real solution to this is to spawn PTs in their
 own container, each with a tailored whitelist, particularly since #20781
 will require that, so it may as well be generalized.

 The main stumbling point would be that tor doesn't support using
 `AF_LOCAL` to talk to PTs, but if I do this correctly the tor sandbox can
 run without external network access when PTs are used.
