There is [https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/torsocks#uwt-
modifiedusewithtortoimproveTorstreamisolation uwt], but it's a hack
(creates a temporary torsocks configuration file very time torsocks is
started), has bugs and is not in the upstream torsocks package.
Please add the ability to set proxy type, IP address and port by command
line. The interface could look like this:
{{{
torsocks -t 5 -i 127.0.0.1 -p 9050 /usr/bin/wget -c
https://check.torproject.org
}}}
{{{
sudo torsocks -t 5 -i 127.0.0.1 -p 9052 /usr/bin/apt-get --yes dist-
upgrade
}}}
The user could open multiple SocksPorts (9050, 9052, 9053, etc.) and use
torsocks while separating the streams.
