Problem with $ source torsocks off

By Jessica Wood

(edit: Ubuntu 20)

I installed TOR and then "torified" my shell with:

$ echo ". torsocks on" >> ~/.bashrc

Then, not related, I ran into some issues with TOR and had to purge remove everything. But, before I did, I ran:

$ source torsocks off

It said it shut off. But, now, everytime I open a terminal I get:

bash: torsocks: No such file or directory

at every startup. If I try to turn torsocks off, of course I get:

bash: torsocks: No such file or directory

How do I undo this? I have no idea.

$ gnome-terminal --version
# GNOME Terminal 3.36.2 using VTE 0.60.3 +BIDI +GNUTLS +ICU +SYSTEMD

To undo

$ echo ". torsocks on" >> ~/.bashrc

you can open the file in a text editor

gedit ~/.bashrc

or

nano ~/.bashrc

and either remove or comment out (using #) the offending line

# . torsocks on
