Is there any way to use tor in terminal (or any other software like tor in command-line). I need this for updating my Ubuntu, as my network not allows to download more than 20MB file. Because of this I have to download files which are more than 20MB in size using tor-browser one by one.
Please let me know any other way to solve this.
Use torify.
$ man torify
torify is a simple wrapper that attempts to find the best underlying Tor wrapper available on a system. It calls torsocks or tsocks with a tor specific configuration file.
E.g. to update and upgrade your packages:
sudo torify apt-get update && sudo torify apt-get upgrade
You can also use torsocks
Usage:
torsocks <application>
For using this by default, you must already have tor running & listening on localhost, port 9050.
If you are using Tor-Browser, you need to install proxychains and config it by editing the last line of /etc/proxychains.conf, this way:
socks5 127.0.0.1 9150
If you are using tor, so follow @OrangeTux answer.
Please let me know any other way to solve this.
apt-get can resume previous downloads. so you can run it frequently. cron can repeat the update command for you
sudo crontab -e
0 */8 * * * /usr/bin/apt-get update;
*/5 * * * * /usr/bin/apt-get --force-yes dist-upgrade
