All wallets and other web requests (including security features like notifications) should be able to use Tor.

I've been trying to make this work with socat and other proxy methods, in order to run LNBits on a VPS and connect it to a Start9 node, but everything I do fails (with ERROR | The backend for LndRestWallet isn't working properly: 'Unable to connect to http://128.0.0.1:9051'). I was able to previously make it all work with Umbrel and Tailscale, but that's not an option with Start9. It seems like native TOR (or at least a tor-proxy option) would be an elegant fix.
