Everything that uses TCP for communication can utilize the Tor network,
just use the Socks on 9050. You can either connect to clearnet IPs and
will appear to them as one of the Tor Exit Nodes or you can connect to
Hidden Service IDs (.onion). Hidden Services are kinda like a "second
Internet" where you can connect to them if they are connected to the Tor
network, but you can't know or verify which ID is connecting to you.
