If I understand correctly, the Tor client works as a combination of a proxy server and application plugins (such as the Firefox Torbutton) that enable use of the proxy and contain additional application-specific privacy features (such as suppressing cookies, sandboxing JavaScript, turning off Flash).

That works very well with applications that support it (such as Firefox). But is there a way to establish a VPN over Tor, so that my whole Wifi network can be protected, including applications that do not support proxy configuration and devices like iPod touches?

You can use Privoxy to act as a HTTP to SOCKS gateway on to the tor network.

From what i can tell OpenVPN supports http proxy OpenVPN

maybe with the use of a wrapper like torify (included in tor) and socksify part of Dante can support direct SOCKS access.

I would suggest pre-defining a tor exit-point for the sake of stability.

I'm unable to post URL's as i do not have enough reputation points, hit google up with the following key words.

1: Dante 2: torify 3: 'Connecting to an OpenVPN server via an HTTP proxy.'
