-If you have a personal firewall, be sure to allow local connections to
-port 8118 and port 9050. If your firewall blocks outgoing connections,
-punch a hole so it can connect to TCP ports 80, 443, and 9001-9033.
+If you have a personal firewall that limits your computer's ability
+to connect to itself, be sure to allow connections from your local
+applications to

+punch a hole so it can connect to at least TCP ports 80, 443, and 9001-9033.
