Comment (by leif):

 Actually, I just re-read `configuration.rst` and see I missed part of it
 before... it does actually say this:

 {{{
     * Run a node behind a Tor proxy (perhaps via ``torsocks``), in
       client-only mode (i.e. we can make outbound connections, but other
       nodes will not be able to connect to us). The literal
       '``unreachable.example.org``' will not resolve, but will serve as a
       reminder to human observers that this node cannot be reached. "Don't
       call us.. we'll call you"::

         tub.port = 8098
         tub.location = unreachable.example.org:0
 }}}

 I still think the Tor configuration docs should be cleaned up, but the
 situation isn't as bad as I thought... I just failed at reading the docs.
 Apologies!
