Description
Jake Applebaum and I were talking at the last hackfest about what it would take to run Tahoe safely through the Tor (anonymizing onion-router) proxy.
I figured it wouldn't take much: just removing the automatically-added local IP addresses from the advertised FURLs. You'd treat the tubid as a pseudonym (i.e. never run this node without Tor). Listeners would be a complete loss (that is, other nodes would not be able to establish connections to yours, until 1: we get SOCKS4A client-side support into Twisted, 2: make sure Foolscap can use .onion names in connection hints, and 3: add a Foolscap Listener that establishes itself on a Tor hidden-service port).
But beyond that, it should just be a question of running Tahoe under 'tsocks', so that all of its outbound connections go through the socks proxy and then through Tor to the other servers.
So the task for this ticket: provide a configuration knob to override the default "find all my IP addresses and add them to the connection hints (via Tub.setLocation)" behavior, and instead provide a hard-coded list of hints instead.
