Thanks Andeas. Up to now, I only used the Tor client for Windows that
comes with Privoxy, so never used Tor as-is, and never on the command
line.

If someone's used to using Tor, I have a couple of questions. On
FreeBSD, I intend to use it to run a Python script to connect to a
remote web server and download pages.

Do I need to start the Tor server? Do I need a web proxy like Privoxy,
or is the Tor client enough? How do set things up so my Python scripts
connects to Tor?

Thank you.
