 Replying to [comment:7 starlight]:
 > Not so fast!  It's been awhile since this was a bother and I forgot that
 the log spamming occurs on an control channel event monitoring stream.
 With `WarnUnsafeSocks=1` this log is still flooding with pointless
 messages when DNS queries are purposefully sent over a Tor connection.  I
 have restored `WarnUnsafeSocks=0` and my position remains that the setting
 is useful at least up to and including 0.2.9.x.  I have not tested 0.3.0.x
 versions.
 The code referred to in comment:3 sends out the controller message no
 matter the value of `SafeSocks`. I'm assuming this is to prevent
 configuration options from hiding events from the controllers.

 Because this is now about the controller message it sounds like a
 duplicate of #22461. Can you check if your issue is a duplicate of #22461?
 If it's not a duplicate, can you give some more information about your
 setup in order to reproduce the issue?
