Hi,

I'm afraid that's still buggy for some ipv4 configurations and ipv6
complicates this logic massively. I haven't looked at the code in
detail nor do I understand why it might be important to know about
local ports, but for ipv4 all of 127/8 should be considered local.

For IPv6, you have :: for "bind everything" (like 0.0.0.0), you have
::1 for localhost, but you also have the (awesome!) concept of
link-local addresses to be aware of (fe80::/10). Since I don't
exactly know how the logic in Stem works here, you may need to check
for that, too.

Let me know if anything above needs more explanation :)

Cheers
Sebastian
