Tor mode activated in shell

I recently added tor via this site, and ran torsocks through $ echo ". torsocks on" >> ~/.bashrc

Now each time I open terminal, I have a log of turning on/off tor:

"Tor mode acitvated" log

Is there any way to get rid of this? I don't personally need to run tor in the terminal, and each instance of a new terminal includes this history.

Simple, remove the new line you added from the file ~/.bashrc. Here's a quick guide:

  1. Open a terminal.
  2. Type in gedit ~/.bashrc.
  3. In the editor, look for the line that has . torsocks on on it.
  4. Remove that line and save using CTRL + S or pressing the Save button.
  5. Open a terminal and confirm it no longer shows up (you may also need to reboot the system).

Hope this helps.

Edit: After re-reading through that guide you linked, you may also need to run source torsocks off in a terminal.
