New description: Most of https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html#TBBSocksPort talks about the SocksPort and then tells users to unconfigure the ControlPort to unset automatic socksport. I propose the option should be to separate controlport and socksport configuration. If the user wants an automatic controlport but not automatic socksport, they have to dive into the torrc. It's not logical to 'uncheck controlport' to configure a socksport, and then user is left without a form for entering the socksport address and port number. -- -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/7298#comment:1> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online _______________________________________________ tor-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-bugs
