You don't want to use tortunnel or torproxy. Tortunnel is an independent
implementation of a Tor client, which aims to provide better performance
by screwing your anonymity.

Specifically, it tries to cheat and use a one-hop circuit, which is
dangerous for the relay operators and foolish for your anonymity:

(This trick doesn't work on exit relays running 0.2.2.17-alpha or later.)
