torify(1)
NAME
torify - wrapper for tsocks and tor
SYNOPSIS
torify application [application's arguments]
DESCRIPTION
torify is a simple wrapper that calls tsocks with a tor specific configuration file.
tsocks itself is a wrapper between the tsocks library and the application that you would like to run socksified.
Please note that since tsocks uses LD_PRELOAD, torify cannot be applied
to suid binaries.
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 tor-resolve(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.
