    Hi

    I upgraded tor today on my machine and found that I can no longer connect over a socks 5 connection. I'm using this node library https://github.com/JoshGlazebrook/socks and it has been working with no problems before (0.3.4 and earlier). But after upgrading I'm seeing: Socks5 proxy rejected connection - Failure when connecting and it syslog I see:

    Jan 10 21:58:22 chrx Tor[11218]: socks5: parsing failed - invalid user/pass authentication message. Jan 10 21:58:22 chrx Tor[11218]: Fetching socks handshake failed. Closing.

    Changing the config to use socks 4 seems to work.

    The project I'm working that uses this is scuttlebutt. And the code doing the onion connection locally is here:
