----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
 Regardless of whether transparency proxy is enabled or not, all foreign
 iptables rules get flushed when connecting or disconnecting to/from Tor.

 Iptables chains stay untouched.

 This is a big problem when using iptables based firewalls like "DroidWall"
 or "LBE Privacy Guard".

 Example 1:
 A internet access blocked application (a game, google location service,
 etc.) gets unblocked as soon as Orbot connects/disconnects to Tor.

 Example 2:
 A application should just be able to communicate through Tor. iptables
 related firewall blocks it. But Orbot's transparency proxy should allow
 it.

 This still occures on the latest RC build:
 "Orbot-1.0.6-Tor-0.2.3.7-alpha-RC3"
