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?

Either use the --proxy option of yt-dlp, or use torsocks to 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 torsocks simply 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 by torsocks show in /etc/ld.so.preload.

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
