Although this is rather crude, it should prevent traffic leaks. What do you think about this? Could it be to some use? I have already tested all points except number 3), which would need more work, so before it I have to ask for your opinions - whether this is a waste of time or not. Please let me know.

Hello, Roman! This is interesting stuff, but the mention of LD_PRELOAD makes me wonder how this compares to Torsocks. In particular, what can you do with this approach that the Torsocks approach can't achieve?

Also, hooking connect isn't enough: you can send network traffic with sendto and sendmsg over an unconnected socket; I bet there are other ways to do it too.
