web-search-tor

Everything in the web-search skill, over Tor. Read that skill first for the commands; this one covers the layer, what changes when it is on, and what does not work without it.

Turn it on

websearch tor up          # start Tor, verify the exit, turn the layer on
websearch tor status      # is it listening, and is the traffic really Tor
websearch tor down        # stop it and turn the layer off

up is a one-call bring-up: it uses a Tor that is already listening, else tor on PATH, else it downloads the official Tor Expert Bundle into the state directory and checks it against the sha256 published beside it. Then it starts Tor detached, waits for the bootstrap, and asks check.torproject.org whether the traffic really leaves through Tor. Give it a timeout_s of 300 on the first run.
