or via -pipe option

node 1:2/3 -pipe "ncat --proxy-type socks5 --proxy 127.0.0.1:9050 abc123.onion

or with a perl hook

file tor-hook.pl:

sub on_call
{
	if ($config{"tor-proxy"}) {
		foreach (split(/;/, $hosts)) {
			if ($_ =~ /\.onion\z/) {
				$hosts = $_;
				$socks = $config{"tor-proxy"};
				Log(3, "Cpt. Hook: using tor-proxy $socks for .onion address");
			}
		}
	}
	return 1;
}


binkd.cfg:
perl-hooks /etc/binkd/tor-hook.pl
perl-var tor-proxy 127.0.0.1:9050/

node 1:2/3 abc123.onion
