Tor support should not require the use of a proxy for non-Tor connections

[justusranvier]

It can be desirable to operate a node as a bridge between regular nodes and hidden service nodes without routing the regular connections through Tor.

The --tor option should take an argument to specify the IP address/port of the Tor proxy to be used for hidden service nodes.

I am not sure what you are asking for.

To use Tor, you can simply run ./btcd --proxy=127.0.0.1:9050 --tor

The --tor option tells btcd that the proxy is a tor proxy and to send DNS requests through it.
