Controlling permission for local sockets is much easier than controlling permission for tcp sockets. For Tor mode, we should support connecting to the Tor socks proxy via a local socket so that it is not accessible to anyone else on the system who can make tcp connections to 127.0.0.1:9150. This requires:

  • teaching net/proxy about notation for local socket addresses, and
  • teaching net/socket about making the socks connections via local sockets.
