torsocks — Shell wrapper to simplify the use of the torsocks(8) library to transparently torify an application.
torsocks [OPTIONS] [COMMAND [ARG ...]]
torsocks is a wrapper between the torsocks library and the application in order to make every Internet communication go through the Tor network.
By default, torsocks will assume that it should connect to the Tor SOCKS proxy running at 127.0.0.1 on port 9050 being the defaults of the Tor daemon.
In order to use a configuration file, torsocks tries to read the /etc/tor/torsocks.conf file or look for the environment variable TORSOCKS_CONF_FILE with the location of the file. If that file cannot be read, torsocks will use sensible defaults for most Tor installations.
For further information on configuration, see torsocks.conf(5).
Add the torsocks library to LD_PRELOAD $ . torsocks on
Remove the torsocks library from LD_PRELOAD $ . torsocks off
Please see torsocks(8) for more detail on possible environment variables.
