Comment:

 I'm quite confused here. `SOCKSPort` is completely disabled on a tor
 running Single Onion Service so what this ticket is actually addressing?

 And, I don't see in the man page where we encourage users to use Tor2Web
 with single onion?

 The only thing I can find is this log message:

 {{{
     REJECT("HiddenServiceNonAnonymousMode is incompatible with using Tor
 as "
            "an anonymous client. Please set Socks/Trans/NATD/DNSPort to 0,
 or "
            "HiddenServiceNonAnonymousMode to 0, or use the non-anonymous "
            "Tor2webMode.");
 }}}

 And also, man page specifies for the `Tor2Web` option:

 {{{
 This option also disables client connections to non-hidden-service
 hostnames through Tor.
 }}}

 To recap, only fixing the log message seems the right thing to do? (Apart
 from ripping off Tor2Web madness :P).
