torify - wrapper for torsocks or tsocks and tor

SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
|
--------
|

|
|
**torify** __application__ [__application's__ __arguments__]

|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
|
**torify** is a simple wrapper that attempts to find the best underlying Tor
|
|
|
|
|
wrapper available on a system. It calls torsocks or tsocks with a tor specific
|
|
|
|
|
configuration file. +

|
|
|
torsocks is an improved wrapper that explicitly rejects UDP, safely resolves DNS
|

|
|
|
lookups and properly socksifies your TCP connections. +
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
tsocks itself is a wrapper between the tsocks library and the application that
|
|
|
|
|
you would like to run socksified. +
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please note that since both method use LD_PRELOAD, torify cannot be applied to
|
|
|
|
|
suid binaries.

|
WARNING
|
|
|
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
|
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 normal system
|
|
|
|
|
resolver to your usual resolving nameservers. The **tor-resolve**(1) tool can be
|
|
|
|
|
useful as a workaround in some cases. The Tor FAQ at
|
|
|
|
|
https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ might have further
|
|
|
|
|
information on this subject. +
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When used with torsocks, torify should not leak DNS requests or UDP data. +
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Both will leak ICMP data.
