#2356: Clarification of the ReachableAddresses option
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  anonym         |        Type:  defect    
   Status:  new            |    Priority:  normal    
Milestone:                 |   Component:  Tor Client
  Version:  Tor: 0.2.1.26  |    Keywords:            
   Parent:                 |  
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 I have "ReachableAddresses reject *:*" in torrc and start Tor. Tor
 obviously cannot connect. Then I add a bridge through Vidalia, and, voila,
 Tor connects to the Tor network through the bridge, ignoring
 ReachableAddresses.

 Is this expected behaviour? Are bridges exempt from the ReachableAddresses
 option? My reading of that option in the man page is that it should
 prevent ALL connections, bridges included. Is this a bug, an error in the
 man page, or an error in my head?
