Your statement that Tor handles any port is probably true, but, I
have tried to get Tor to work with NNTP and it's miserable and 
fraught with failure.

If you find it easy to use for other ports, then you either have a
wonderful DIY that I will ask you for, or, you're a far better 
informed person than anyone else on this ng because I doubt
anyone on this entire ng has ever successfully set up Tor with nntp.

If they have, then I will try right now, and I will ask real questions
of them, because, in my humble experience, it will fail every time
as there is no good setup DIY for Windows or Linux that I know of
that actually works (last I tried, the socks5 stuff killed me).

Trust me, I know all about the "trouble" changing an IP address 
causes Gmail, for example.

Gmail in Thunderbird has a horrid time accepting *any* changes to 
the IP address. Constantly it locks me out, and asks for verification
details. I have set Gmail to *not* ask for all those details, but, it
still does, even without using Tor (but using a public VPN server).

With Tor and using the horrid Gmail web interface, it's just worse, 
because Gmail doesn't like Tor nodes for the same reason it doesn't
like public vpn servers, only far far worse.

Many web sites will block Tor nodes automatically (as they also block
public vpn server sites automatically). 

So, yes, I know all about trouble changing the IP address.
