Torpark uses tor, which has some white papers you can read, linked from the
Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor_%28anonymity_network%29


I was able to find a writeup on how to do tor + privoxy:

I don't like the sounds of this, though: 
"To Torify an application that supports http (ie Firefox), just point it at
Privoxy (that is, localhost:8118 )."

Hm, maybe the porting idea isn't a bad one...
