Hi Archetyp,

The section "(guix) Networking Services" in the Guix manual describes
how to create a Tor service:

https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Networking-Services.html#index-tor_002dservice_002dtype

For example, here is how you would define a Tor service that uses a UNIX
domain socket:

  (service tor-service-type
           (tor-configuration
             (socks-socket-type 'unix)))

For details on how to configure Firefox or IceCat to use it, see:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2018-07/msg00082.html

You might also want to read Devan's thoughtful message here, in which he
reminds us that the safest option is to use Tor Browser:

I hope that helps!
