Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Replying to [comment:2 yawning]:
 > This isn't possible with the current PT design as the only IP
 address/port information available to the browser (and the tor daemon for
 that matter) is the address that's supplied as part of the `Bridge` config
 directive (`0.0.3.0:1`).
 >
 > Changing this will require extending the PT interface with accompanying
 changes to the Tor control protocol in addition to the browser and
 snowflake client changes.

 So {{{probably-bad-idea}}} I assume? Should I close this ticket then if
 the costs of making this possible are too high for infinitesimal results?
