NAME
----
torify - wrapper for torsocks and tor

SYNOPSIS
--------
**torify** __application__ [__application's__ __arguments__]

DESCRIPTION
-----------
**torify** is a simple wrapper that attempts to find the best underlying Tor
wrapper available on a system. It calls torsocks with a tor specific
configuration file. +

torsocks is an improved wrapper that explicitly rejects UDP, safely resolves DNS
lookups and properly socksifies your TCP connections. +

Please note that since both method use LD_PRELOAD, torify cannot be applied to
suid binaries.

WARNING
-------
When used with torsocks, torify should not leak DNS requests or UDP data. +

Both will leak ICMP data.

SEE ALSO
--------
**tor**(1), **tor-resolve**(1), **torsocks**(1)
