Linux users may be familiar with the various patches for tsocks that make it safe for use with Tor. https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TSocksPatches Torsocks takes all of the patches to tsocks listed at the link above: http://code.google.com/p/torsocks/source/browse/trunk#trunk/patches applies some other enhancements: http://code.google.com/p/torsocks/source/browse/trunk/ChangeLog and incorporates them into a new project: http://code.google.com/p/torsocks/ Torsocks allows you to use most socks-friendly applications in a safe way with Tor. Once you have installed torsocks, just launch it like so: usewithtor [application] So, for example you can use ssh to a some.ssh.com by doing: usewithtor ssh username@xxxxxxxxxxxx or launch pidgin by doing: usewithtor pidgin You can download the current build at: http://torsocks.googlecode.com/files/torsocks-1.0-beta.tar.gz Torsocks is released under the GNU GPL licence v2. As far as I can make out this is compatible with the original tsocks and all subsequent patches.
