Making CLI commands route through tor nodes on Linux - Biggy_Asian - Oct 16, 2024

I completely forgot torsocks existed and got reminded thanks to @Bastille@.

Torsocks allows you to make all your commands like ssh and other commands which reach out through the internet to instead route through tor nodes before hitting the targeted host. This way you stay extra safe.

Installation:

Code 
sudo apt install torsocks && torsocks

Running:

Basic usage:

Code 
torsocks curl -X GET "webhook.site/webhookhere"

As you can see my ip from the website after posting is completely different. Compare both below:
