Libtorksocks.so will get installed to the $(libdir)/tork directory, while tork-tsocks.conf will get installed to $(sysconfdir) (usually /etc). Before + distributing your package you should ensure that the command 'torkify ssh' or similar + works and does not return errors. You can also test this by launching an 'Anonymous SSH + session' from TorK's 'Anonymize' tab. If you're having issues with it on your platform + please contact me at robert@roberthogan.net. + +- Ideally you should also check that torksocks (installed in $(bindir)) is referencing the + correct location of libtorksocks.so for your installation. You should also check that + torkify (installed in $(bindir)) is referencing the correct location of tork-tsocks.conf. + +- Do not use an external version of tsocks with TorK. The version packaged with TorK is + specially patched for anonymous use (it ensures DNS queries from the tsocks-ified application + do not bypass Tor). + +- You can use an external version of libgeoip if you like. By default, tork will compile the + bundled GeoIP and link to it statically. + |
