    FAQ (relay section): move two questions out of the relay section
    
    the following two questions have been moved from the relay
    to the "Advanced Tor usage" section as they are more client related:
    
    I want to run my Tor client on a different computer than my applications.
    Can I install Tor on a central server, and have my clients connect to it?

+    By default, your Tor client only listens for applications that
+    connect from localhost. Connections from other computers are
+    refused. If you want to torify applications on different computers
+    than the Tor client, you should edit your torrc to define
+    SocksListenAddress 0.0.0.0 and then restart (or hup) Tor. If you
+    want to get more advanced, you can configure your Tor client on a
+    firewall to bind to your internal IP but not your external IP.

+    <h3><a class="anchor" href="#ServerClient">Can I install Tor on a

+    <p>
+     Yes. Tor can be configured as a client or a relay on another
+     machine, and allow other machines to be able to connect to it
+     for anonymity. This is most useful in an environment where many
+     computers want a gateway of anonymity to the rest of the world.
+     However, be forwarned that with this configuration, anyone within
+     your private network (existing between you and the Tor
+     client/relay) can see what traffic you are sending in clear text.
+     The anonymity doesn't start until you get to the Tor relay.
+     Because of this, if you are the controller of your domain and you
+     know everything's locked down, you will be OK, but this configuration
+     may not be suitable for large private networks where security is
+     key all around.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+Configuration is simple, editing your torrc file's SocksListenAddress
+according to the following examples:
+    </p>
+    <pre>
+
+  #This provides local interface access only,
+  #needs SocksPort to be greater than 0
+  SocksListenAddress 127.0.0.1
+
+  #This provides access to Tor on a specified interface
+  SocksListenAddress 192.168.x.x:9100
+
+  #Accept from all interfaces
+  SocksListenAddress 0.0.0.0:9100
+   </pre>
+    <p>
+You can state multiple listen addresses, in the case that you are
+part of several networks or subnets.
+    </p>
+    <pre>
+  SocksListenAddress 192.168.x.x:9100 #eth0
+  SocksListenAddress 10.x.x.x:9100 #eth1
+    </pre>
+    <p>
+After this, your clients on their respective networks/subnets would specify
+a socks proxy with the address and port you specified SocksListenAddress
+to be.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+Please note that the SocksPort configuration option gives the port ONLY for
+localhost (127.0.0.1). When setting up your SocksListenAddress(es), you need
+to give the port with the address, as shown above.
+    <p>
+If you are interested in forcing all outgoing data through the central Tor
+client/relay, instead of the server only being an optional proxy, you may find
+the program iptables (for *nix) useful.
