Stll, is there a way to achieve local port redirection without that option set, maybe by combining DNAT, SNAT, REDIRECT in some astute way ? Does it make things easier if I arrange for Tor to listen on the IP associated with the ethernet adapter rather than localhost ? Or even listen on 0.0.0.0 ? Regards -- Noino
