Comment(by nickm):

 >Nick, what happens to people who want to run a pluggable transport proxy
 on a different box than tor?

 If I really had to be in that situation, and the two boxes were on the
 same LAN, I'd use iptables or something so that only the box running the
 proxy could connect to the extended ORPort.

 If they weren't on the same LAN, I'd be out of luck.

 > What do you say?

 Adding a better threat model is indeed a reasonable thing to do.
