 >Tor will intercept the SOCKS request, and use the
 +   executable at /usr/local/bin/unicorn to query the unicorn name system
 +   for elephantforum.corn. Tor communicates with the unicorn plugin
 +   using the Tor NS API through which name queries and their results can
 +   be transported using stdin/stdout.


 Bad: logs can store timing information, which can be used to link network
 accesses patterns to a specific PC. It's better to have a daemon and local
 encrypted authenticated REST API to resolve names.
