-.SH NAME
-.LP
-torify \- wrapper for torsocks or tsocks and tor
-
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-\fBtorify\fP\ \fIapplication\fP\ [\fIapplication's\ arguments\fP]
-
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-\fBtorify\fR is a simple wrapper that attempts to find the best underlying Tor
-wrapper available on a system. It calls torsocks or tsocks with a tor specific
-configuration file.
-
-torsocks is an improved wrapper that explictly rejects UDP, safely resolves DNS
-lookups and properly socksifies your TCP connections.
-
-tsocks itself is a wrapper between the tsocks library and the application
-that you would like to run socksified.
-
-Please note that since both method use LD_PRELOAD, torify cannot be applied
-to suid binaries.
-
-.SH WARNING
-You should also be aware that the way tsocks currently works only TCP
-connections are socksified. Be aware that this will in most circumstances
-not include hostname lookups which would still be routed through your
-normal system resolver to your usual resolving nameservers. The
-\fBtor-resolve\fR(1) tool can be useful as a workaround in some cases.
-The Tor FAQ at https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ might
-have further information on this subject.
-
-When used with torsocks, torify should not leak DNS requests or UDP data.
-
-Both will leak ICMP data.
