Comment (by teor):

 Ok, here's a summary of the steps to move forward:
 1. If a transport exposes a TCP port, connect to that TCP port via a Tor
 Exit
 2. Test the transport protocol by connecting directly to the address and
 port

 Getting the PT to connect to itself via the Tor network might involve some
 really complex code. So let's just do the simplest tests we can.
