In related news looks like some Debian guys are putting up Tor-Enabled Debian  
Mirrors. Watch out for proprietary software though.

I knew of that. It would be awesome if Trisquel did the same thing, but I  
don't think the project can handle it right now (the immense amount of work  
it requires is prohibitive).
However, maybe trying to ask Ruben to get apt-transport-tor in the  
repositories would be a nice idea. Think it's worth it?


I actually tried to compile it in my machine but it didn't work...

It's all really above my paygrade! :)

I think it would be a good thing and that the threats are real but I'm no  
expert. Privacy and security are always good things and as Snowden taught us  
being paranoid is probably not enough.

VPN's are not safe. No one will go to prison for you. Tor is the way to go.  
Decentralized and with no central point of failure.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Torify my Software Updater and Synaptic

[greatgnu]

that depends on the vpn provider.

A trusted and safe VPN may ease your mind maybe..

Did this ever get solved? I would like to do the same thing.

If you can, try contacting ioerror, Jacob Appelbaum, I remember him saying he  
did that very same thing to prevent someone from feeding him a fake update on  
Debian.

hmm, global system proxy or maybe apt has a proxy setting? if your not
doing a global system proxy then try searching apt settings proxy maybe?

It's not in the repos of the Trisquel 7 (it probably will be in 8), but take  
a look at https://github.com/diocles/apt-transport-tor.

[elkingrey]

I would like to make it so that all of my software updates and installs are  
done through Tor.


Is this possible? If so, how?

Thank you!
