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 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.
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.
