Out of curiosity, what's the use case for this?
- nl 10y agoOne is scraping sites that limit traffic/accounts per IP. (And yes, I understand how to be a good citizen. And no, this isn't the only use case)
- mschuster91 10y agoFor example, to limit a browser process from connecting to anything except the TOR proxy. So, in case someone tries to de-anonymize you, unless the attacker has a kernel-level exploit, no packet will ever reach the attacker without going through TOR. This could also be linked with a VM - so even if the attacker has a kernel-level exploit, there still won't be any outgoing packets.
