From socket(2) to .onion with pf(4)
I’ve been rebuilding my IRC bouncer setup and as part of this process I’ve
decided to connect to IRC via onion services where possible. This setup isn’t
intended to provide anonymity as once I’m connected I’m going to identify to
NickServ anyway. I guess it provides a little protection in that my IP
address shouldn’t be visible in that gap between connection and a cloak
activating, but there’s so many other ways that my identity could leak.
