Comment (by DCNick3):

 Internally this can be done even without SOCKS client (the same way as tor
 handles transparent connections, setting address and port in
 `socks_request_t`), but it would not work with `libtorrunner`. Socks
 client may work there, but if we consider wrapping around socks client, it
 would require to know the port to connect to, which may be troublesome.
