|
|
torify \- wrapper for torsocks or tsocks and tor
|
|
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
\fBtorify\fP\ \fIapplication\fP\ [\fIapplication's\ arguments\fP]
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
\fBtorify\fR 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 explictly 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.
|
|
|
|
.SH 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
|
|
\fBtor-resolve\fR(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.
