Tortle - A tiny utility for Tor on OS X

Description:

Tortle is a small litle utility for Mac OS X that can easily enable and disable Tor.

Please note that you will need to setup your torcc file. If the path to your torcc file is not /usr/local/etc/tor/torcc you will need to change the variable torccFile accordingly. Also, the default address and port are used (127.0.0.1:9050), so if you normally use a different address/port you must change the variables proxyAddress and proxyPort accordingly.

Installation:

Using Homebrew (recommended):

• brew tap thrifus/Tortle
• brew install Tortle

Using cURL to install to /usr/bin/tortle:

• sudo curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thrifus/Tortle/master/tortle -o /usr/bin/tortle; sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/tortle

(Other installation methods may be implemented later)

Usage:

To use Tortle, simply type tortle followed by -e/--enable or -d/--disable. The arguments should be pretty self explanatory. O_o

Notes:

I just threw together the Tortle icon (see attributions below), so it looks kind of strange. If you would like to make an icon for Tortle, please do and email me at thrifus@gmail.com
