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.
