Hello, Roman!  This is interesting stuff, but the mention of
LD_PRELOAD makes me wonder how this compares to Torsocks.  In
particular, what can you do with this approach that the Torsocks
approach can't achieve?

Also, hooking connect isn't enough: you can send network traffic with
sendto and sendmsg over an unconnected socket; I bet there are other
ways to do it too.
