Description
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.
