-------------------------------------------------+-------------------------
 Orbot (as of 14.0.3.1 and later)
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/orbot.git/commitdiff/2ce9ea92f14f7b5c04798809f0c262475766977e
 sets `TransPort 0`], which disables tor's `TransPort` entirely. This means
 that people who use iptables scripts outside of Orbot (as described in
 [https://blog.torproject.org/blog/mission-impossible-hardening-android-
 security-and-privacy Mike Perry's recent blog post]) to redirect TCP
 traffic to the `TransPort` cannot do so.
