-NAME
-----
-tor-fw-helper - Manage upstream firewall/NAT devices
-
-SYNOPSIS
---------
-**tor-fw-helper** [-h|--help] [-T|--test-commandline] [-v|--verbose] [-g|--fetch-public-ip]
- [-p __external port__:__internal_port__]
-
-DESCRIPTION
------------
-**tor-fw-helper** currently supports Apple's NAT-PMP protocol and the UPnP
-standard for TCP port mapping. It is written as the reference implementation of
-tor-fw-helper-spec.txt and conforms to that loose plugin API.  If your network
-supports either NAT-PMP or UPnP, tor-fw-helper will attempt to automatically
-map the required TCP ports for Tor's Or and Dir ports. +
-

-
-**-v** or **--verbose**::
-    Display verbose output.
-
-**-T** or **--test-commandline**::
-    Display test information and print the test information in

-
-BUGS
-----
-This probably doesn't run on Windows. That's not a big issue, since we don't
-really want to deal with Windows before October 2010 anyway.
