Additional Note:

TOR detects that behaviour:

---------------
Sep 02 10:09:10.085 [warn] fetch_from_buf_socks(): Your application (using socks4 on port 119) is giving Tor only an IP address. Applications that do 
DNS resolves themselves may leak information. Consider using Socks4A (e.g. via privoxy or socat) instead.
