Comment (by ilf):
You are absolutely right, quoting
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_philosophy the UNIX philosophy]: "Make
each program do one thing well. To do a new job, build afresh rather than
complicate old programs by adding new 'features'."
As I said, "this is a classic job for (application) firewalls, but
torsocks has all the functionality already".
Your approach sounds reasonable, although I'm not sure how complicated
checking that the ephemeral port is actually unused is.
I'll leave the decision on this to the authors and maintainers.
