在Tails上使用python包管理器时Torsocks连接被拒绝错误

Question

I'm new in Tails Linux and I'm facing some problems installing apps through torsocks.

In this example I've installed python3-pip through apt-get and everything was ok, however when I run python3 -m pip install "something" I get an error like:

PERROR Torsocks socks5 libc connection refused.

I already tried to run the command with torify, torsocks, change the tor port to 9051 and 9151, use --proxy with the command and nothing worked.

It includes commands as CURL and many others

How can we solve that?

Answer 1

From the tails docs:

Packages that use the network need to be configured to go through Tor. They are otherwise blocked from accessing the network.

By default, the pip package manager won't make its requests through a socks proxy, so you will have to manually route its connection.

I'd recommending using proxychains . (a guide for installing this on tails can be found here )

Once you have it installed, simply run proxychains pip install <package name>
