This command:

$ torsocks gpg --keyserver ldap://keys.hush.com --search-keys b...@hushmail.com

used to work, but now gives:

====8<------------------------------
gpg: searching for "b...@hushmail.com" from ldap server keys.hush.com
gpgkeys: unable to retrieve LDAP base: Can't contact LDAP server
gpg: key "b...@hushmail.com" not found on keyserver
gpg: keyserver internal error
gpg: keyserver search failed: keyserver error
====8<------------------------------

Has hushmail started blocking Tor? A keyid grab also fails:

====8<------------------------------
$ torsocks gpg --keyserver ldap://keys.hush.com --recv-keys 0xDEADBEEF¹
gpg: requesting key DEADBEEF from ldap server keys.hush.com
gpgkeys: unable to retrieve LDAP base: Can't contact LDAP server
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
gpg: Total number processed: 0
gpg: keyserver internal error
gpg: keyserver receive failed: keyserver error
====8<------------------------------

(footnote 1) real keyid redacted.
