A couple of seconds googling gives tor iptables squid

The relevant comment being:

You can use the following configuration: user -> squid -> privoxy -> tor

The configuration of tor client and privoxy is standard. To redirect squid to privoxy you need the option cache_peer with never_direct parameter (see: http://www.visolve.com/squid/squid24s1/neighbour.php).

If your internet connection comes with a usage limit then no matter how you proxy/tunnel your still going to be using bandwidth and hit your limit.

  • hence the caching. Not all requests will hit the connection. Dont think question was stating tor is being used to help the limit problem, rather squid was.

When using tor for web browsing, you generally don't use it directly. You use a combination of privoxy and tor. This deals with the dreaded DNS leaks, allows you to do ad filtering etc. To make use of caching, insert squid between privoxy and your browser. So your setup would look like this:

your browser --- squid caching proxy --- privoxy --- tor --- Internet
