-------------------------+-------------------------
 Right now Java programs run with torsocks have their network calls
 dropped, or sometimes crash. Torsocks should force Java programs to use
 Tor. This could be done by setting the proxy settings in the JVM with
 -DsockProxyHost=127.0.0.1 -DsocksProxyPort=8080. To ensure proxy obedience
 for DNS calls, torsocks might implement a DNS provider that uses SOCKS for
 resolution, add that to the classpath, and use it to override the DNS
 provider the JVM uses at runtime.
