NAME

tor-resolve − resolve a hostname to an IP address via tor

SYNOPSIS

tor−resolve [−4|−5] [−v] [−x] [−p socksport] hostname [sockshost[:socksport]]

DESCRIPTION

tor−resolve is a simple script to connect to a SOCKS proxy that knows about the SOCKS RESOLVE command, hand it a hostname, and return an IP address.

By default, tor−resolve uses the Tor server running on 127.0.0.1 on SOCKS port 9050. If this isn’t what you want, you should specify an explicit sockshost and/or socksport on the command line.

OPTIONS

−v

Display verbose output.

−x

Perform a reverse lookup: get the PTR record for an IPv4 address.

−5

Use the SOCKS5 protocol. (Default)

−4

Use the SOCKS4a protocol rather than the default SOCKS5 protocol. Doesn’t support reverse DNS.

−p socksport

Override the default SOCKS port without setting the hostname.

SEE ALSO

tor(1), torify(1).
