  9. NAME
  10. ----
  11. torify - wrapper for torsocks and tor
  12. SYNOPSIS
  13. --------
  14. **torify** __application__ [__application's__ __arguments__]
  15. DESCRIPTION
  16. -----------
  17. **torify** is a simple wrapper that attempts to find the best underlying Tor
  18. wrapper available on a system. It calls torsocks with a tor specific
  19. configuration file. +
  20. torsocks is an improved wrapper that explicitly rejects UDP, safely resolves DNS
  21. lookups and properly socksifies your TCP connections. +
  22. Please note that since both method use LD_PRELOAD, torify cannot be applied to
  23. suid binaries.
  24. WARNING
  25. -------
  26. When used with torsocks, torify should not leak DNS requests or UDP data. +
  27. Both will leak ICMP data.
