Test torify

This should show you your public IP:

$ curl ifconfig.me 

This should show a completely different IP (and outputs torify error messages to /dev/null):

$ torify curl ifconfig.me 2> /dev/null 

 

 

Well it basically outputs your IP from torify to screen. Not sure. Never used tor or torify. 

 

Why do you need to run this command?

Pour tester si Tor est bien installé et configuré nous allons faire un petit test :

which thanks to Google means

To test if Tor is installed and configured we will do a little test:
