>Transports 9040
I've also seen this used in an iptables nat forwarding setup for transparent proxying, where everything gets pushed through 9040.

check out the lines on it in

$ man tor

They also talk about using it with bridges and plugable transports in the mannual, which is what I want to investigate.

I'm not doing that (Pushing all traffic through tor/ Transparent proxy) and I don't really recommend that for the average new to intermediate linux users, which are who my files are geared towards. If you're 1337 you probably have your own stuff/preferences and don't need to use endware.

I have to get a risup account, and email them and ask for bridges...

Its a work in progress.
