 I don't use tor. I just use torsocks to redirect tcp traffic to SOCKS5
 proxy (ssh -D 9150 login at myserver). DNS resolving doesn't work in this
 way. Please add 'tordns_enable' option to manually disable dns resolving
 via socks proxy.

 This option is available in old "tsocks" app.

 {{{
 $ port info tsocks
 tsocks @1.8.4_2 (net)
 Variants:             universal

 Description:          tsocks allows non SOCKS aware applications (e.g
 telnet, ssh, ftp etc) to use SOCKS without any
                       modification. It does this by intercepting the calls
 that applications make to establish network
                       connections and negotating them through a SOCKS
 server as necessary.
