NAME

       usewithtor  -  Shell  wrapper  to  simplify  the use of the torsocks(8) library to transparently allow an
       application to use a SOCKS proxy.

SYNOPSIS

       usewithtor [application [application's arguments]]

DESCRIPTION

       usewithtor is a wrapper between the torsocks library and the application  what  you  would  like  to  run
       socksified.

OPTIONS

       [application [application's arguments]]
              run  the application as specified with the environment (LD_PRELOAD) set such that torsocks(8) will
              transparently proxy SOCKS connections in that program.

USEWITHTOR VERSUS TORSOCKS

       usewithtor runs torsocks(1) with the default configuration file, located at /etc/torsocks.conf.   Running
       torsocks(1)  directly  means  that  no  configuration  file  will  be  used  (unless you manually set the
       TORSOCKS_CONF_FILE or TSOCKS_CONF_FILE environment variable), instead torsocks(8) will use defaults  that
       are sensible for most Tor installations.

USEWITHTOR VERSUS TORIFY

       usewithtor(1)  and  torify(1)  intend  to  achieve  the  same  ends  for most practical purposes. However
       torify(1) will use a default tsocks installation if one exists.   Usewithtor(1)  will  only  ever  use  a
       torsocks(8) installation.
