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.
