Once the onion network is established, I would like to run yt-dlp, however, I am hit by the error message saying no connection is established… same goes to other software I use.
how can i dothat?
You must log in or # to comment.
Open the tor browser and try if that works. If it does you do have internet. Some applications dont like when they are used over tor.
Yeah, anything that wants UDP instead of TCP won’t work
tor browser works
Either use the
--proxyoption of yt-dlp, or usetorsocksto transparently torify any application.thanks, for anything not running in the terminal, what other methods can one uses?
Options:
- Just start it from the terminal with torsocks
- Use application-specific proxy settings
- Since
torsockssimply uses LD_PRELOAD, you could try to make this apply globally by adding the torsocks library to ld.so.preload. Just put the path returned bytorsocks showin/etc/ld.so.preload.
