tor browser works
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
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.
