 Please note that since tsocks uses LD_PRELOAD, torify cannot be applied
 to suid binaries.
 
+You should also be aware that the way tsocks currently works only TCP
+connections are socksified.  Be aware that this will in most circumstances
+not include hostname lookups which would still be routed through your
+normal system resolver to your usual resolving nameservers.  The Tor
+FAQ at https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ might
