Torsocks: the old way of configuring Tahoe-LAFS to use Tor
==========================================================
Before the native Tor integration for Tahoe-LAFS, users would use Torsocks.
Please see these pages for more information about Torsocks::

Starting And Stopping
---------------------
Assuming you have your Tahoe-LAFS node directory placed in **~/.tahoe**,
use Torsocks to start Tahoe like this:
usewithtor tahoe start
Likewise if restarting, then with Torsocks like this::
usewithtor tahoe restart
After Tahoe is started, additional Tahoe commandline commands will not
need to be executed with Torsocks because the Tahoe gateway long running
process handles all the network connectivity.
