Thanks for the sober, thoughtful post. There are definitely advantages
to the hardware-isolated TorSocks mode for sure, which I think have been
lost with some of the poor implementations out there and focus on the
Transparent proxy type setup.

These kind of trade offs are also something we struggle with on Android
with Orbot, and we are looking at configuration choices like these to
both help the novice user get connected, without unintentionally leaking
data.
