It is written as the reference implementation of tor-fw-helper-spec.txt and conforms to that loose plugin API. If your network supports either NAT-PMP or UPnP, tor-fw-helper will attempt to automatically map the required TCP ports for Tor's Or and Dir ports. + OPTIONS ------- **-h** or **--help**:: Display help text and exit. **-v**:: Display verbose output. **-T** or **--test**:: Display test information and print the test information in tor-fw-helper.log **-g** or **--fetch-public-ip**:: Fetch the the public ip address for each supported NAT helper method. **-i** or **--internal-or-port** __port__:: Inform **tor-fw-helper** of your internal OR port. This is the only required argument. **-e** or **--external-or-port** __port__:: Inform **tor-fw-helper** of your external OR port. **-d** or **--internal-dir-port** __port__:: Inform **tor-fw-helper** of your internal Dir port. **-p** or **--external-dir-port** __port__:: Inform **tor-fw-helper** of your external Dir port. BUGS ---- This probably doesn't run on Windows. That's not a big issue, since we don't really want to deal with Windows before October 2010 anyway.
