Note that 'GETINFO net/listeners/*' specifies 0.0.0.0 (or another local address)

Hi Nick. Minor gotcha I just fixed in Stem...

GETINFO net/listeners/or
250-net/listeners/or="0.0.0.0:1443"
250 OK

GETINFO net/listeners/control
250-net/listeners/control="127.0.0.1:9051"
250 OK

Since tor specified 127.0.0.1 for localhost with controllers I assumed that's what it used for other our ORPort and others. Fixed now in stem...

Maybe the spec should say that 0.0.0.0 and 127.0.0.1 are both used when referring to localhost?

0.0.0.0 isn't localhost -- it's a special address for listeners meaning "listen on all interfaces". See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0.0.0.0

Oops. My bad - thanks.

This fix in stem isn't sufficient, here are the other common Tor configs that bind to 'localhost':

ORPort [::] # IPv6 equivalent of 0.0.0.0

ORPort [::1] # IPv6 equivalent of 127/8, but it's only a single address, no netblock

And here are other rarer configs that are non-routable:

ORPort 127.0.0.2 # or any address in 127/8

Thanks Tim! Fixed...
