I've been using torsocks for years. Some comments: - The formal name is 'torsocks', everything else is an alias that should not exist. - It's a silly name because it is Tor agnostic, call it 'ld2socks'. - It has had multiple authors. - All authors are effectively dead. - It needs some work. - It needs a home for such work. - It is not necessary given TransPort and DNSPort. - But it's awfully handy. Especially [!] with mail apps such as fetchmail, msmtp... ssh... any sort of Unix command line thing. - Handy enough for torproject to host it? I don't know. Without an active coding maintainer it would be just a pile of tickets. I'll add that I don't think it works with FTP anymore either. And that it's awfully handy (again, hint). _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
