NAME

6       tor-resolve - resolve a hostname to an IP address via tor
7

SYNOPSIS

9       tor-resolve [-4|-5] [-v] [-x] [-p socksport] hostname
10       [sockshost[:socksport]]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       tor-resolve is a simple script to connect to a SOCKS proxy that knows
14       about the SOCKS RESOLVE command, hand it a hostname, and return an IP
15       address.
16
17       By default, tor-resolve uses the Tor server running on 127.0.0.1 on
18       SOCKS port 9050. If this isn’t what you want, you should specify an
19       explicit sockshost and/or socksport on the command line.
