Torsocks allows you to use most applications in a safe way with
|
|
Tor. It ensures that DNS requests are handled safely and explicitly
|
|
rejects any traffic other then TCP from the application you're
|
|
using.
|
|
|
|
Torsocks is an ELF shared library that is loaded before all others.
|
|
The library overrides every needed Internet communication libc
|
|
function calls such as connect(2) or gethostbyname(3).
|
|
|
|
This process is transparent to the user and if torsocks detects
|
|
any communication that can't go through the Tor network such as
|
|
UDP traffic for instance, the connection is denied. If, in some
|
|
way, there is no way for torsocks to provide the Tor anonymity
|
|
guarantee with your application, torsocks will force the application
|
|
to quit and stop everything.
