 Hi,

 The "torsocks on" subcommand exports the LD_PRELOAD (Linux) or
 DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES (OSX), but as the torsocks script finishes in bash
 the exports are lost, as the control returns to the parent process (the
 bash shell) of the torsocks script.

 The easiest fix is to start a new shell from the "torsocks on" subcommand
 execution.
