My problem with this is that I only want 10% of my traffic filtered over tor. This is useless to most people that want to stream movies or need some of their traffic over a regular network.

I guess that you use the wired connection for Tor, wifi from the router for everything else? Then you still have to enable/disable the network card you want to use at the time.

The current tor browser is perfect. I just switch back and forth between it and my regular browsers as needed.




If you are using Tor for a serious reason, you should have separate machines for Tor vs non-Tor activity. There was recently a high profile case (silk road?) where a user forgot to switch browser modes once before logging in to an monitored account to post a quick comment. It only takes once.


Good point, better safe than sorry, but in my case (and probably a large number of Tor users - I don't use Tor for "serious" reasons. Mostly to support privacy.
