Torsocks allows you to use most socks-friendly applications in a safe way with<br>
Tor. Once you have installed torsocks, just launch it like so:<br>
<br>
usewithtor [application]<br>
<br>
So, for example you can use ssh to a <a href="http://some.ssh.com" target="_blank">some.ssh.com</a> by doing:<br>
<br>
usewithtor ssh <a href="mailto:username@some.ssh.com">username@some.ssh.com</a><br>
<br>
or launch pidgin by doing:<br>
<br>
usewithtor pidgin<br>
<br>
You can download the current build at:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://torsocks.googlecode.com/files/torsocks-1.0-beta.tar.gz" target="_blank">http://torsocks.googlecode.com/files/torsocks-1.0-beta.tar.gz</a><br>
<br>
Torsocks is released under the GNU GPL licence v2. As far as I can make out<br>
this is compatible with the original tsocks and all subsequent patches.<br>
