connections via SOCKS. Set it to "auto" to have Tor pick a port for
you. This directive can be specified multiple times to bind
to multiple addresses/ports. (Default: 9050) +

+ 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. +

The _isolation flags_ arguments give Tor rules for which streams
received on this SOCKSPort are allowed to share circuits with one
**PreferIPv6**;;
