The message
{{{
The WarnUnsafeSocks option is deprecated, and will most likely be removed
in a future version of Tor. Changing this option makes it easier for you
to accidentally lose your anonymity by leaking DNS information (If you
think this is a mistake, please let us know!)
}}}
now appears when starting tor since a version upgrade.
I am a expert user of Tor and have several script that issue `torsocks dig
+tcp` commands performing forward and reverse DNS queries. Have set
`WarnUnsafeSocks` to 0 to eliminate the spamming of my logs with warnings
about explicit IP addresses passing through SOCKS.
The option is useful and should be retained.
