       OSX lynx over tor

       The fine gentlemen on #freenode's gopher channel were showing off
       some of their gopher sites served over tor. I wanted to test it
       out while I was at work on my MacBook Air. This machine wasn't
       configured to use tor at all, so here's the process I went through
       to get everything working. (It's really easy)
       
       Step 1: Install tor and torsocks and lynx if you don't have them
       
         brew install tor torsocks lynx
       
       Step 2: Use this wrapper [0] to launch tor and create the proper
       networking configuration to use the socks proxy, and disable that
       proxy when you kill tor.
       
         #!/usr/bin/env bash
       
         # 'Wi-Fi' or 'Ethernet' or 'Display Ethernet'
         INTERFACE=Wi-Fi
       
         # Ask for the administrator password upfront
         sudo -v
       
         # Keep-alive: update existing `sudo` time stamp until finished
         while true; do sudo -n true; sleep 60; kill -0 "$$" || exit; done 2>/dev/null &
       
         # trap ctrl-c and call disable_proxy()
         function disable_proxy() {
             sudo networksetup -setsocksfirewallproxystate $INTERFACE off
             echo "$(tput setaf 64)" #green
             echo "SOCKS proxy disabled."
             echo "$(tput sgr0)" # color reset
         }
         trap disable_proxy INT
       
         # Let's roll
         sudo networksetup -setsocksfirewallproxy $INTERFACE 127.0.0.1 9050 off
         sudo networksetup -setsocksfirewallproxystate $INTERFACE on
       
         echo "$(tput setaf 64)" # green
         echo "SOCKS proxy 127.0.0.1:9050 enabled."
         echo "$(tput setaf 136)" # orange
         echo "Starting Tor..."
         echo "$(tput sgr0)" # color reset
       
         tor
       
       Step 3: Use torify to launch lynx
       
         torify lynx gopher://hg6vgqziawt5s4dj.onion/1/
       
       Your tor service should run fine as-is for browser usage, but it
       looks like you'll need to use torify if you want to launch
       a command line app that uses tor. This "just works" for me, so
       hopefully it will for you as well.
       
       Next up, solving this for Linux!
