Right. For more on what Tor Browser does (and doesn't do) at the application layer, see https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/design/ > The issue is however if one wishes to use tor browser bundle > behind a transparent Tor proxy in which the Tor process is > running on the router between the computer and LAN for better > security. That's one of the reasons why transparent tor proxies are bad news. For other reasons, check out this thread from long ago: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-relays/2014-October/005541.html https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-relays/2014-October/005544.html > What is the best way to use Tor browser behind a physically > isolated Tor router so to prevent Tor browser running on the > computer from creating a Tor circuit inside another circuit? The best way is to use that router as a firewall, to *prevent* any communications that you didn't want coming out of the main computer, rather than to scoop it all up and shove it through Tor and hope that somehow that makes you safe. The above posts have more details on how to do that well, and also on why it's the better model. (Projects like Whonix offer a variety of configurations for doing this isolation, rather than building it yourself.) --Roger -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
