This would require SOCKS support in the connecting sockets. SOCKS is rather 
simple to implement as far as I 
know. Sounds like a good idea with a reasonable amount of work.

Proxy (HTTP and SOCKS5) have been implemented and can be used in the next 
nightly
build. Basically a Tor service needs to be running on the same machine and 
configured
to be providing a SOCKS service on port 9050. All data is then pushed through 
the
proxy, including transfers.

By the way, using Tor Qwired servers can also be hidden, there might be some 
smaller
patches required to raise the security of the server, though (like not 
providing a
host name in the certificates and OS information). Also a specialized tracker 
might
be useful in the future.

• Changed state: Fixed

Please note that due to a limitation in Qt's proxy support, ".onion" hidden 
services
can not be connected to yet. This will possibly be fixed soon by overriding the 
SOCKS
implementation.

I found a way to make it work for .onion domains too. All that needs to be done 
now
is that the Qwired server should be made more secure and provide tracker 
support for
.onion domains as well. This would allow a network of totally anonymous servers 
and
users with all the features of Qwired. :)
