Comment (by dcf):

 Replying to [comment:24 yawning]:
 > On a related note, how well does flashproxy tolerate the external port
 reported as success being different from the one that's requested?  (Eg:
 You request a port mapping between `192.0.2.10:9000` <-> `0.0.0.0:9000`,
 but the router establishes `192.0.2.10:9000` <-> `0.0.0.0:10000`)

 It won't work at all. I guess it could, by watching the output of tor-fw-
 helper, but it doesn't.
