TORSOCKS(1) TORSOCKS(1) NAME torsocks -- Shell wrapper to simplify the use of the torsocks(8) library to transparently torify an application. SYNOPSIS torsocks [OPTIONS] [COMMAND [ARG ...]] DESCRIPTION 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 dae- mon. In order to use a configuration file, torsocks tries to read the /etc/tor/torsocks.conf file or look for the environment variable TOR- SOCKS_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). OPTIONS -h, --help Show summary of possible options and commands. --shell Create a new shell with LD_PRELOAD including torsocks(8). --version Show version. -u, --user Set username for the SOCKS5 authentication. Use for circuit isola- tion in Tor. Note that you MUST have a password set either by the command line, environment variable or configuration file (tor- socks.conf(5). -p, --pass Set password for the SOCKS5 authentication. Use for circuit isola- tion in Tor. Note that you MUST have a username set either by the command line, environment variable or configuration file (tor- socks.conf(5)). -a, --address Set Tor address. -P, --port Set Tor port. -i, --isolate Automatic tor isolation. Set the username and password for the SOCKS5 authentication method to a PID/current time based value auto- matically. Username and Password MUST NOT be set. -d, --debug Activate the debug mode. Output will be written on stderr. -q, --quiet Suppress every log messages (even errors). on | off This option adds or removes torsocks(8) from the LD_PRELOAD environ- ment variable for the current shell. If you want to use this option, you HAVE to source torsocks from your shell. Add the torsocks library to LD_PRELOAD $ . torsocks on Remove the torsocks library from LD_PRELOAD $ . torsocks off show | sh Show the current value of the LD_PRELOAD environment variable.
