NAME¶
torsocks - Shell wrapper to simplify the use of the torsocks(8) library to transparently allow an application to use a SOCKS proxy. Basically a renamed, patched tsocks.SYNOPSIS¶
torsocks [application [application's arguments]]DESCRIPTION¶
torsocks is a wrapper between the torsocks library and the application what you would like to run socksified.SUMMARY¶
By default, torsocks will assume that it should connect to the SOCKS proxy running at 127.0.0.1 on port 9050. This is the default address and port for Tor's socks server on most installations.OPTIONS¶
- [application [application's arguments]]
- run the application as specified with the environment (LD_PRELOAD) set such that torsocks(8) will transparently proxy SOCKS connections in that program
- [on|off]
- this option adds or removes torsocks(8) from the LD_PRELOAD
environment variable. When torsocks(8) is in this variable all executed
applications are automatically socksified. If you want to use this
function, you HAVE to source the shell script from yours, like this:
"source /usr/bin/torsocks" or ". /usr/bin/torsocks"
- [show|sh]
- show the current value of the LD_PRELOAD variable
- <without any argument>
- create a new shell with LD_PRELOAD including torsocks(8).
