on different SOCKSPorts, TransPorts, etc are always isolated from one

+ Other recognized __flags__ for a SOCKSPort are:
**NoIPv4Traffic**;;
Tell exits to not connect to IPv4 addresses in response to SOCKS
requests on this connection.
**PreferIPv6**;;
Tells exits that, if a host has both an IPv4 and an IPv6 address,
we would prefer to connect to it via IPv6. (IPv4 is the default.) +
-+
- NOTE: Although this option allows you to specify an IP address
- other than localhost, you should do so only with extreme caution.
- The SOCKS protocol is unencrypted and (as we use it)
- unauthenticated, so exposing it in this way could leak your
- information to anybody watching your network, and allow anybody
- to use your computer as an open proxy.
