No options for Windows, sadly. We haven’t found a good way to do network isolation there. The Chromium project does some interesting hotpatching of kernel32.dll for their Sandbox, but we haven’t experimented with if something similar could be done to torify Windows app’s. A VPN solution is probably more ideal there.

On macOS, you should be able to “just” use torify (if you install it from homebrew or another source), but because of SIP there are directories that you cannot use torify on as they don’t allow LD\_PRELOAD on binaries there. You must copy the binaries over to /tmp for example to torify them.
