     Lines in torrc beginning with "Socks" are as follows.

SocksPort 9050 IsolateDestAddr # what port to open for local application connections
SocksListenAddress 127.0.0.1 # accept connections only from localhost
SocksPolicy accept 127.0.0.1:*
SocksPolicy accept 192.168.0.0/16:*
SocksPolicy reject *:*
