It needs to access /dev/pf in order to determine the original 
destination address before redirection (using DIOCNATLOOK ioctl). 
For Linux, Tor uses getsockopt() for the same purpose, so there 
is no device node to access there.

See connection_ap_get_original_destination() in 
src/or/connection_edge.c for details.
