.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
\fBtorify\fR is a simple wrapper that calls tsocks with a tor specific

|
|
|
tsocks itself is a wrapper between the tsocks library and the application
|
2004-09-27 03:28:17 +02:00
|
|
|
that you would like to run socksified.

|
|
Please note that since tsocks uses LD_PRELOAD, torify cannot be applied
|
|
|
|
to suid binaries.

|
You should also be aware that the way tsocks currently works only TCP
|
|
|
|
connections are socksified. Be aware that this will in most circumstances
|
|
|
|
not include hostname lookups which would still be routed through your
|
2009-01-18 02:08:48 +01:00
|
|
|
normal system resolver to your usual resolving nameservers. The
|
|
|
|
\fBtor-resolve\fR(1) tool can be useful as a workaround in some cases.
