#3566: Vidalia should respect SafeLogging 1 torrc option
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  tornewbie  |          Owner:  chiiph
     Type:  defect     |         Status:  new   
 Priority:  normal     |      Milestone:        
Component:  Vidalia    |        Version:        
 Keywords:             |         Parent:        
   Points:             |   Actualpoints:        
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
 Vidalia seems not to scrub addresses ignoring SafeLogging directive set in
 the torrc config file : the first one is the event logged by Vidalia , the
 second one is the same event logged by Tor while pulling tor git tree with
 tsocks ( 'usewithtor git pull' on the command line )


 [...same time...] Potentially Dangerous Connection! - One of your
 applications established a connection through Tor to "38.229.70.11:9418"
 using a protocol that may leak information about your destination. Please
 ensure you configure your applications to use only SOCKS4a or SOCKS5 with
 remote hostname resolution.

 ...same time... [warn] Your application (using socks5 to port 9418) is
 giving Tor only an IP address. Applications that do DNS resolves
 themselves may leak information. Consider using Socks4A (e.g. via privoxy
 or socat) instead. For more information, please see
 https://wiki.torproject.org/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#SOCKSAndDNS.
