Comment(by sysrqb):

 The getipnodebyname warnings are not surprising and can be ignored. The
 lines

 {{{
 libtorsocks(7398): do_resolve: error connecting to SOCKS server
 libtorsocks(7398): failed to resolve: github.com
 }}}
 explain the outcome but they indicate that the issue is a connectivity
 problem between client and server. Yet, curl was successful. Does curl
 resolve names a different way?
