Description

There isn’t a lot information on TORSOCKS_ISOLATE_PID yet. Will be introduced in the torsocks version which is now in #Debian_Stretch.

Quote https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-talk/2015-May/037979.html:

IsolatePID is a new option that will make torsocks set the SOCKS5
username and password automatically to provide isolation on Tor side.

You can use this with the -i,–isolate command added or
TORSOCKS_ISOLATE_PID env. variable.

It could help to get rid of the whole #uwt temporary file creation hack.

Not enabled by default.

#debian_stretch /etc/tor/torsocks.conf

# Set Torsocks to use an automatically generated SOCKS5 username/password based
# on the process ID and current time, that makes the connections to Tor use a
# different circuit from other existing streams in Tor on a per-process basis.
# If set, the SOCKS5Username and SOCKS5Password options must not be set.
# (Default: 0)
#IsolatePID 1
