tor leaks support

Hi,

I'm running a pruned monero node over tor for some time now. Everything was fine until some days.

I'm now having many warnings in the tor's notices' log :

[warn] Your application (using socks4 to port 18080) 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. For more information, please see https://2019.www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#WarningsAboutSOCKSandDNSInformationLeaks. [5 similar message(s) suppressed in last 60 seconds]

And also many notices :

[notice] Closed 1 streams for service [scrubbed].onion for reason resolve failed. Fetch status: No more HSDir available to query.

When I stop the monero node, these warnings ans notices stop. All of them didn't appear until a few days, AFAIK without having done anything. tor and monero are always up to date.

These warnings appeared with monero 0.18.5.0 version, but remain with the last 0.18.5.1 version. tor was already the latest 0.4.9.11. version.

In the same time, my p2pool node can't connect anymore to other p2pool peers (it is set up to use tor too ; it is up to date too).

The monero conf file includes :

p2p-bind-ip=127.0.0.1
no-igd=1
proxy=127.0.0.1:9050
tx-proxy=tor,127.0.0.1:9050,10,disable_noise
anonymous-inbound=mylongonionadress.onion:18084,127.0.0.1:18084,12
disable-rpc-ban=1

What's happening ? Any clues to get my monero and p2pool nodes working again ?
All the best
