kbfs Configure kbfs to use tor-mode

The keybase command line has the --tor-mode option that makes traffic go through http://fncuwbiisyh6ak3i.onion/. Is there a way to configure KBFS (via config.json?) to do the same? Thanks!

More generally, it would be great if this hypothetical config.json option made sure that all keybase traffic (no matter what client/app in that machine) got routed through tor.

We haven't built this yet, sorry, though I agree it's a good idea if/when we get the time for it.

@strib that's great to know! thanks for the quick reply and for this awesome service :)

Would it be enough perhaps to just wrap every file in /Applications/Keybase.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/ in a shell script that called the corresponding binary prepended with torsocks?

Not sure. If you have time to give it a try, please let us know, thanks!

Reporting back: I tried this, it didn't work. If anyone wants to dig further you might find this little script useful: https://gist.github.com/stigmergik/0d236e4b2807c85ed69f747f229f2b67

Some good news though: keybase works fine on Whonix =)
