Comment (by wagon):

 I see the same problem with `torsocks`, but `torsocks` documented it as
 not yet implemented (`man torsocks.conf`):

 > TorAddress ip_addr
 >  The IP address of the Tor SOCKS server (e.g "server = 10.1.4.253").
 Only one server may be  specified.
 >  Currently, **torsocks does NOT support hostname**.  (default:
 127.0.0.1)
