Change connection method from torify to torsocks

Open RequestPrivacy opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

According to torify man page torsocks is recommended:

DESCRIPTION
       torify is a simple wrapper that calls torsocks with a tor-specific configuration file.

       It is provided for backward compatibility; instead you should use torsocks.

Also noteworthy: specifying the port after the .onion address leads to a failure

requestprivacy@kubuntu:~$ torify ssh [email protected]:8080

1660158579 ERROR torsocks[number]: Unable to resolve. Status reply: 1 (in socks5_recv_resolve_reply() at socks5.c:677)
ssh: Could not resolve hostname hostname.onion:8080: Non-recoverable failure in name resolution

Works with torify and torsocks if -p8080 flag is specified.
