In my experience, torsocks stopped being able to completely contain the apps it wraps some time a number of years ago, but thankfully AORTA does a better job. I never dove into the code or saw anyone explain why, but you should try AORTA: https://hoevenstein.nl/ ___ tor-onions mailing list tor-onions@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-onions

Borg is supposed to use SSH for communication, so I don't understand why I get those name resolution errors. Borg does its job, it works ok through torsocks, but it shows those name resolution error messages. PS. By the way, I originally sent my question to this list, but it was never approved by the moderator (or there was another problem I don't know), so then I sent my message to the tor-talk list and it was finally approved there. But now I get an answer in this list, where my question has never been published as far as I know... I don't understand anything :) ___ tor-onions mailing list tor-onions@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-onions

This is an interesting find.
