This is new generation of TSOCKS.
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.

Message after installing
You installed torsocks, which is part of the Tor Project. If you have non-local or non-standard Tor SOCKS server location, please edit /usr/local/etc/tor/torsocks.conf To run most programs through Tor launch them like this: torsocks [any executable] For example you can use ssh to a some.host.com by doing: torsocks ssh [email protected] -l <user> or launch pidgin by doing: torsocks pidgin ==SECURITY WARNING== Please note that torsocks does not in general guarantee that all network connections made using torsocks will always go through Tor, and not directly through the unsecured network. There are many ways how general programs can purposefully or inadvertently defeat torsocks. One way is to reset the environment variable for the child process. You can use ex. wireshark to see where network packets are actually sent by the program in question.
