   I prefer to kill them with kindness. If that doesn't work I use killfile   
   filters.

   Yes, it must be 100% TOR addressable only with no clearnet connections.

   It does seem impossible but it is just really hard and convoluted. I've done   
   routing like this long ago in the past with other networked programs. And you   
   are right that the other peers must also use TOR. That is the point--a NNTP   
   network with all peers    
   hidden behind TOR and no clearnet exits (ideally).

   Torsocks is insecure and can leak data. It only uses ENV variables which can   
   be disregarded by bad software and scripts, especially anything that is   
   statically compiled. Onionix is better, but does serve the bidirectional port   
   path problem, and doesn't    
   live in Debian repositories which is a deal-breaker since it would force users   
   to be programmers and compile stuff, the very kind of thing I want to avoid.   
   I'm trying to lower the bar to entry rather than raise it.
