> libtorsocks(11014): connect: Connection is to a local address
(192.168.0.10), may be a TCP DNS request to a local DNS server so have to
reject to be safe. Please report a bug to
http://code.google.com/p/torsocks/issues/entry if this is preventing a
program from working properly with torsocks.
Please add an option to allow connections to local addresses. Tor doesn't
always run on 127.0.0.1, sometimes it's run on a machine on local LAN.
This is also the case for Whonix, which is a two machine approach, where
Tor runs by design on another machine on local LAN.
