 No longer allowing connections to 127.0.0.1 at all (#10419) is a huge
 disadvantage.

 * Users using the i2p web interface can no longer use it using Tor
 Browser.
 * Users wanting to visit their own hidden service using 127.0.0.1 won't be
 able to do so anymore.

 And what will they do? Using a regular browser. And being worse off.

 Can you allow connections to 127.0.0.1 will still defeating fingerprinting
 issues (#10419) please?
