 I'm not sure about specific addresses. I think we would have to rewrite
 the code to make it work.

 All your other rules are fine.

 But I'm going to ask you to rename the option: "Accessible" is ambiguous,
 and "Tor" is redundant.
 By analogy with ExitPolicy and SOCKSPolicy, let's use "PortConnectPolicy",
 or something similar.

 If people are still using the "warn" option, we can't deprecate it and
 remove its functionality entirely.
 Instead, we should have:

 PortWarnPolicy
 PortConnectPolicy
