 This warning is possible for anything socket trying to connect to a
 localhost address.

 `WARNING torsocks[12360]: [connect] Connection to a local address are
 denied since it might be a TCP DNS query to a local DNS server. Rejecting
 it for safety reasons. (in tsocks_connect() at connect.c:177)`

 We should implement a whitelist mechanism so the user can tell which local
 network is allowed such as localhost.
