Add UX for toggling on Tor routing for ssb-server

[georgeowell]

As discussed in this thread on Scuttlebutt: %ln9EHC+3OjnF8cqata0AWnt58clkeC96eSwqHVAD/dM=.sha256

We could add UX for routing the ssb-server backend through Tor. This would serve the same function as for example running oasis --tor on the command line.

You should also be able to select the SOCKS proxy port. Port 9150 is the default local port for Tor Browser. This could also be useful for people who use a VPN with Scuttlebutt.

The goal is to make it easy for people who require location privacy to obscure their IP Address without needing to use the command line.

Cool! Do you think this should just enable Tor, or disable other types of networking? Personally, I'd love to use Tor as an overlay network, but I'd be bummed if it killed all of my other networking. I'm sure that others would feel the exact opposite. :smile:

I think for now it should just route anything going over the internet through Tor. Basically it would just allow users to obscure their IP address from remote peers. We might also need the ability for users to select a different SOCKS5 port if necessary.

This is reminiscent of Briar which is also P2P and also does LAN (and Bluetooth syncing). Unlike that project, we would obviously be defaulting to not using Tor.

121 would allow for more nuanced networking settings in the future.

Cool. I think the first step for this would be researching SSB-CONN and seeing if this is even a possibility. If we can do it, I'm happy to solve it, but I don't think that we can do this in Oasis until we know how to do it with SSB-CONN.
