TORSOCKS(1) TORSOCKS(1) NAME torsocks -- Shell wrapper to simplify the use of the torsocks(8) li- brary 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 net- work. 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 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 iso- lation in Tor. Note that you MUST have a password set either by the command line, environment variable or configuration file (torsocks.conf(5). -p, --pass Set password for the SOCKS5 authentication. Use for circuit iso- lation in Tor. Note that you MUST have a username set either by the command line, environment variable or configuration file (torsocks.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 automatically. 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 en- vironment 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.
