 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`)

 Ok I shall leave things as is then for now at least.

 I went and renamed the executable/package to `tor-fw-helper` and bumped
 the version number up to 0.3 to be higher than the existing codebase.  I
 moved the git repo in github as well, sorry for the inconvenience
 (https://github.com/Yawning/tor-fw-helper).
