when I use proxy it works perfectly. Now I don't have any proxy can I use TOR ?

My question is: can I redirect the terminal through tor?

If you set the proxy to use at the system level, almost all network requests (regardless of program origin) will be routed through the proxy. Tor is, simply put, a more complex proxy.

Note that, according to this you may get an error if you use Google's repo.

Proxy: Try the following procedure

  • set 127.0.0.1:9050 (tor port, may be something else for you )in System -> Preferences -> Network Proxy

  • torify is tool that attempts to wrap your terminal command in a Tor session. There's a good tutorial on what you need to do, here. Then it's just a case of running:

    torify

  • Using Proxychains

  • torify (as well as torsocks) should not be used. When they can't securely handle a system call made by an application running in them, they simply don't actually perform the system call, which, with apt install, apt upgrade, or apt dist-upgrade, can ruin installations and upgrades of software without APT noticing the problem.
