Explain that some Additional Software need torsocks to work
Still on my drive to help users help themselves, another consults we get from newbie users is (in general terms)
- I have downloaded $app from Debian
- I get an error of cannot connect
I am not sure if adding it to the FAQ, or to the Additional software page, but a mention about torsocks and how to use it could save helpdesk some time in consults.
I can forward a report about this from Nov 11th if needed.
My answer is more or less:
- Some applications need extra configuration to work with Tor
- Try running it with torsocks in terminal with
torsocks $app
- You may leak your IP, it has not been tested, etc
