Description: use SOCKS-friendly applications with Tor
Torsocks allows you to use most SOCKS-friendly applications in a safe way with
Tor. It ensures that DNS requests are handled safely and explicitly rejects
UDP traffic from the application you're using.
Torsocks allows you to redirect network traffic of individual SOCKS-friendly
applications through the Tor network. It also ensures DNS queries are handled
correctly and explicitly blocks all UDP traffic from the application in
question.
It is possible that a given application can leak user/system data at a level
that neither Tor nor torsocks can control, a 100% guarantee of being safe to
operate with Tor can not be given for applications.
