 Setting up a transparent TOR proxy is quite complicated when it comes to
 firewall rules (e.g. IPTables). Any configuration slip breaks the
 anonymity.

 So I suggest to add the options '[wiki:TransProxyLocal
 Trans{Local|MiddleBox}]IPv{4|6}' to torrc which automagically configure a
 transparent TOR proxy with all necessary settings (e.g. IPTables rules,
 system resolver set-up with .onion).
