See Tor manual [1] for VirtualAddrNetwork. (Will allow nslookup against
.onion.)

The whole wiki needs updated articles.

I consider the whole article dubious. There are so many considerations
missing, Transparent Proxy Leaks site [2] has been created by me but
it's far from complete. There is aos [3], also a project of mine working
on determining, documenting and fixing the issues.

Issues such as not forcing the whole operating system through the same
TransPort (same circuit, identity correlation), secure time sync over
Tor, using Tor Browser behind an anonymzing middlebox without doing Tor
over Tor and so on.
