I have mixed feelings - namely - I think their SOCKS proxy support seems
to really not be fantastic. In some testing we did, we found that it
leaked DNS basically everywhere unless you used some kind of HTTP proxy. :(

I think using a common user agent is a fine idea. I would also want to
ensure that all of the headers sent are also documented and that tlsdate
sends the same headers.
