network – Tor shows running on both port 9050 and 9150, but torsocks doesn’t seem to be working at all


I’m on a network where certain hostnames are blocked at an operating system level, so even If I go to a different network, the hostnames are blocked as well. This is also the case for using command-line tools like curl, etc. which makes sense. One way to bypass this web filter is by using the tor browser, and you would think that the logical thing to make it work in the command line is to use torsocks. I have torsocks installed, but if I use it to try and access a restricted hostname, it gives a socket is not connected error. A quick search shows that the ports are being properly used, but torsocks just isn’t working. Is there anything I can do to adjust torsocks where it will allow me to run these commands with restricted hostnames?
