You installed torsocks, which is part of the Tor Project.
|
|
If you have non-local or non-standard Tor SOCKS server location,
|
|
please edit %%PREFIX%%/etc/tor/torsocks.conf
|
|
|
|
To run most programs through Tor launch them like this:
|
|
torsocks [any executable]
|
|
For example you can use ssh to a some.host.com by doing:
|
|
torsocks ssh username@some.host.com -l <user>
|
|
or launch pidgin by doing:
|
|
torsocks pidgin
|
|
|
|
==SECURITY WARNING==
|
|
Please note that torsocks does not in general guarantee that all
|
|
network connections made using torsocks will always go through
|
|
Tor, and not directly through the unsecured network. There are many
|
|
ways how general programs can purposefully or inadvertently defeat
|
|
torsocks. One way is to reset the environment variable for the child
|
|
process. You can use ex. wireshark to see where network packets are
|
|
actually sent by the program in question.
