LinuxQuestions.org - Setting up transparent proxy through TOR

Hello everyone,

I've been trying to transparently route all my traffic through TOR, as per the official guide: https://trac.torproject.org/projects...ansparentProxy (section "Transparently anonymizing traffic for a specific user"). However, the IPTables commands they provide always produce errors.

The following commands:

Code:

iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT ! -o lo -p tcp -m owner --uid-owner anonymous -m tcp -j REDIRECT --to-ports 9040

iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT ! -o lo -p udp -m owner --uid-owner anonymous -m udp --dport 53 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 53

iptables -t filter -A OUTPUT -p tcp -m owner --uid-owner anonymous -m tcp --dport 9040 -j ACCEPT

iptables -t filter -A OUTPUT -p udp -m owner --uid-owner anonymous -m udp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT

iptables -t filter -A OUTPUT ! -o lo -m owner --uid-owner anonymous -j DROP

all produce the error message "iptables: No chain/target/match by that name.", however, 'nat' is a valid target, 'OUTPUT' is a valid chain and there are no invalid matches. I am stumped, I can't get it to work.

Can someone explain to me how to do this correctly? I am on Gentoo and using IPTables version 1.4.13.

Thanks in advance,

Itzamna
