Comment(by sysrqb):

 This only occurs when the applications attempts establishing a connection
 to a local IP address, not when the Tor client (or other SOCKS proxy) is
 run on another IP address and Torsocks connects to it. Torsocks should not
 (and can not if proxying via Tor) make connections for an application on a
 non-public IP.

 If this isn't the case, then can you provide more details about when
 Torsocks is denying connections to a non-local proxy? Debug logs may help
 a little too.
