    Description : Kernel-level Tor isolation for any Linux app

    oniux is a small command-line utility providing Tor network isolation for third-party applications using Linux namespaces. It isolates any Linux program into its own network namespace to route it through Tor and strips away the potential for data leaks.

    See this post for more info: https://blog.torproject.org/introducing-oniux-tor-isolation-using-linux- namespaces/

    This can be considered as an upcoming, more robust replacement for torsocks. Interestingly, it uses the relatively new Arti as its Tor engine, which would benefit from more testing. At the moment this is still experimental software in a sense that it's new, but it's already functional and I'd like to get more users to test it. I'd like to maintain it within the Debian Rust team.
