[Whonix-devel] arm sees real IP on transproxified host

Wed Jan 27 04:46:38 CET 2016

I noticed something but I'm not sure if its a problem. The arm
controller on Whonix gateway (where all application traffic is also 
redirected thru Tor) sometimes shows 127.0.0.1 as the source of the 
circuits and sometimes it shows the real client IP of the system.

I know a Tor client would normally know its own real IP but should arm 
as a helper application only show 127.0.0.1 since everything on the 
gateway is transproxified?
