--------------------------+------------------------------
 Nyx (2.0.4 installed using `python3-pip`) connects to Tor's `ControlPort`
 through `127.0.0.1:9051`, but in the window with circuit and other
 connections it shows

 {{{127.0.0.1:PORT (??)  -->  REAL_IP_ADDRESS:9051    nyx (XXX)   + 1.8m
 (CONTROL)}}}

 where `REAL_IP_ADDRESS` is a real source IP for outgoing Tor packets to
 Internet. In this setup Tor is not listening at `REAL_IP_ADDRESS:9051`,
 i.e. `nyx`'s information is confusing. Instead of real IP `127.0.0.1` must
 be written:

 {{{127.0.0.1:PORT (??)  -->  127.0.0.1:9051    nyx (XXX)   + 1.8m
 (CONTROL)}}}
