Hello! Thank you so much. You're most right, there was no need for Polipo, uncommenting the control port in `torrc` was enough. I really appreciate the help, and I hope that I one day can make it up to you. Sharing with you a little bit of music for what it's worth:

FreeBSD's Capsicum

Hi, From what I gather, RBAC / MAC isn't really necessary unless you add people to your system that you don't really trust (ref. Nick Holland @ http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-miscm=139321387226212). But what about FreeBSD's Capsicum? Thanks! O.D.
