I want to start this off by saying that I do not involve myself in any illegal activity. I visit .onion websites for various, legal reasons.

Anyway, I want to have all .onion websites open with tor. Is this possible?

    Awhile ago, the Tor bundle included privoxy, a privacy filtering non-caching proxy, and there was a guide on how to set it up so that only requests to .onion domains went over Tor. Which is what I think you want.

  • Sorry, I tried searching but couldn't find any pre-built solutions. I could write a browser extension but frankly I just don't have the time. :(

    Suggestion: Perhaps you might want to move this question to tor.stackexchange, which is specifically geared for questions relating to Tor.

I think Dan is actually right on the mark. Privoxy can be configured to pass particular URLs through a proxy but not others. This actually makes it quite easy to have it pass .onion traffic through tor but not other traffic.

You should be able to simply edit your privoxy configuration (/etc/privoxy/config on ArchLinux) and add the following line to it:

forward-socks4a .onion localhost:<your Tor port here> .

For more information on configuring privoxy, see the ArchWiki and the privoxy homepage (linked above).
