For the reasons cited below, I believe this is not a bug and the patch is not required. On Sun, 13 Aug 2006, Joachim Breitner wrote: > attached is the patch I locally use to fix the problem. There are situations when one would *not* want to connect directly at all! For example, one may be using "tor" to make anonymous connections. If for some reason the "tor" server dies then one would not want to inadvertently make a direct connection. For these reasons the default behaviour of "tsocks" is desirable. Moreover, if you *do* want to connect directly, then "tsocks" provides a feature which permits this. You can use the "local" directive in the configuration file to declare some networks as local. Admittedly creating netmasks to make "all except a few" connections directly requires many "local" directives. Regards, Kapil.
