USEWITHTOR(1)USEWITHTOR(1)NAMEusewithtor - Shell wrapper to simplify the use of the torsocks(8)
library to transparently allow an application to use a SOCKS proxy.
SYNOPSISusewithtor [application [application's arguments]]
DESCRIPTIONusewithtor is a wrapper between the torsocks library and the applica‐
tion what you would like to run socksified.
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.
USEWITHTOR VERSUS TORSOCKSusewithtor runs torsocks(1) with the default configuration file,
located at /usr/local/etc/torsocks.conf. Running torsocks(1) directly
means that no configuration file will be used (unless you manually set
the TORSOCKS_CONF_FILE or TSOCKS_CONF_FILE environment variable),
instead torsocks(8) will use defaults that are sensible for most Tor
installations.
USEWITHTOR VERSUS TORIFYusewithtor(1) and torify(1) intend to achieve the same ends for most
practical purposes. However torify(1) will use a default tsocks instal‐
lation if one exists. Usewithtor(1) will only ever use a torsocks(8)
installation.
