How could I do something similar to torsocks curl $url without jumping through multiple nodes, and hopefully just as simple?
From the curl man page: -x
The Tor Browser is extremely simple to use
Foxyproxy very nice tool for Firefox,about GUI check nekoray it support dozen of protocols
For Firefox you find the proxy settings within about:preferences
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/connection-settings-firefoxin GNOME you can use the GUI by going to Settings -> Network -> Network Proxy and similarly in KDE you can go to System Settings -> Network -> Settings -> Proxy
You still need to have a proxy server somewhere to connect through though so I would probably just setup a VPS with Wireguard or OpenVPN and do a full tunnel forcing all traffic through the VPS for your download.
