TOR-RESOLVE(1)                                                      Tor Manual                                                      TOR-RESOLVE(1)

NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       tor-resolve [-4|-5] [-v] [-x] 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.

SEE ALSO

       tor(1), torify(1).

       See doc/socks-extensions.txt in the Tor package for protocol details.
