I think I've found a bug with the Connections pane. nyx appears to munge all the connections into "outbound", like:
Connections (4852 outbound, 1 control):
Whereas arm on the same system displays them correctly like:
Connections (2196 inbound, 2651 outbound, 1 control):
Oops, great catch! Turned out that we were generally failing to pick up non-outbound connections at all due to a bug in Stem. Fixed...
Hi,
I'm afraid that's still buggy for some ipv4 configurations and ipv6 complicates this logic massively. I haven't looked at the code in detail nor do I understand why it might be important to know about local ports, but for ipv4 all of 127/8 should be considered local.
For IPv6, you have :: for "bind everything" (like 0.0.0.0), you have ::1 for localhost, but you also have the (awesome!) concept of link-local addresses to be aware of (fe80::/10). Since I don't exactly know how the logic in Stem works here, you may need to check for that, too.
Let me know if anything above needs more explanation :)
