Replying to [comment:2 arma]:
> Ah hm -- you are wanting Tor to bind to the low-numbered dnsport on
startup even when you specify DisableNetwork
Yes. That's what I thought what {{{DisableNetwork 1}}} does.
Man page is correct indeed currently.
> When this option is set, we donât listen for or accept any connections
other than controller connections, and we close (and donât reattempt) any
outbound connections. Controllers sometimes use this option to avoid using
the network until Tor is fully configured.
The intuitively correct behavior that I would suggest is.
> We close (and donât reattempt) any outbound connections. Controllers

configured.
Not opening listen ports should be a different option. If that is needed
at all?
My suggestion: when {{{DisableNetwork 1}}} is set,
* open all ports as usual,
* prevent any outgoing connections and
* when receiving requests on these ports, just reply "network down" or
something like that.
What do you think?
