Comment(by nickm):

 I like it, but I don't want to remove the warning for non-loopback
 addresses entirely.  If the address is internal but not noopback, then can
 we say something like, "You specified an internal address for FooPort.
 Other people on your local network can find your Tor program and use it as
 a proxy."
