Ipfs over Libp2p over Websockets over Tor

Issues

There is no official implementation for libp2p to use tor. It seems to work well, but we need to find optimal configuration. Below you can find issues we ran into and solutions to them. This should give you some level of understanding what kind of issues you can expect.
