torify - wrapper for torsocks and tor

**torify** is a simple wrapper that attempts to find the best underlying Tor
21
wrapper available on a system. It calls torsocks or tsocks with a tor specific

torsocks is an improved wrapper that explicitly rejects UDP, safely resolves DNS
25
25
lookups and properly socksifies your TCP connections. +
27
tsocks itself is a wrapper between the tsocks library and the application that
28
you would like to run socksified. +

Please note that since both method use LD_PRELOAD, torify cannot be applied to

You should also be aware that the way tsocks currently works only TCP
36
connections are socksified. Be aware that this will in most circumstances not
37
include hostname lookups which would still be routed through your normal system
38
resolver to your usual resolving nameservers. The **tor-resolve**(1) tool can be
39
useful as a workaround in some cases. The Tor FAQ at

https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ might have further
41
information on this subject. +

When used with torsocks, torify should not leak DNS requests or UDP data. +

Both will leak ICMP data.
