Comment:

 Hi wagon. I see what you mean, you're right that it's more accurate to
 display your controller connection as...

 {{{
 127.0.0.1:43230        -->  127.0.0.1:9051
 }}}

 ... rather than...

 {{{
 127.0.0.1:43230        -->  97.113.4.188:9051
 }}}

 That said, I still prefer the later because inbound/outbound connections
 display 97.113.4.188 for 'me'. Either approach will cause confusion
 (showing 127.0.0.1 because it does not match other connection types, or
 97.113.4.188 because the connection isn't truly with our externally facing
 endpoint.

 Think I'm gonna opt to keep this as it is.
