  5. torify \- wrapper for tsocks and tor
  6. .SH SYNOPSIS
  7. \fBtorify\fP\ \fIapplication\fP\ [\fIapplication's\ arguments\fP]
  8. .SH DESCRIPTION
  9. \fBtorify\fR is a simple wrapper that calls tsocks with a tor specific
  10. configuration file.
  11. tsocks itself is a wrapper between the tsocks library and the application
  12. that you would like to run socksified.
  13. Please note that since tsocks uses LD_PRELOAD, torify cannot be applied
  14. to suid binaries.
  15. You should also be aware that the way tsocks currently works only TCP
  16. connections are socksified. Be aware that this will in most circumstances
  17. not include hostname lookups which would still be routed through your
  18. normal system resolver to your usual resolving nameservers. The
  19. \fBtor-resolve\fR(1) tool can be useful as a workaround in some cases.
  20. The Tor FAQ at https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ might
  21. have further information on this subject.
