------------------------------------------+--------------------------------
 It looks like the torbutton code that is using the `TOR_TRANSPROXY`
 environment variable is only checking if the variable exists, without
 looking at its content. So setting the environment variable to `0` or
 empty still enables it, which can be confusing.
