Can Tor be used as a proxy?
What Is Tor? Tor is a free-to-use network of access points called nodes that work like proxies for your connection. It's also the name of the browser you use to connect to this network. When you use the Tor browser, your connection gets routed through several of these nodes before arriving at its end destination.
How do I use HTTP proxy Tor?
The easiest way is to add HTTPTunnelPort 9080 line in your /etc/tor/torrc file. After that you'll have localhost:9080 socket open and you can set http_proxy=http://localhost:9080 environment variable to tell applications to use it.
