The preferred way is to configure the Internet client/application (e.g. NNTP 
client) to use the proxy you want (e.g. a default local Tor would be at 
127.0.0.1:9050).

Most Internet clients/applications allow setting a proxy. For those that do 
not, tsocks (or similar tools) can force native dynamic linked applications 
to use a SOCKS proxy.
