That tracker option is different, it specifies whether a peer can
override the IP address the tracker sees for it and specify one in the
request instead, and says that only peers on local IPs can do that.

The option you want is I think already available. I haven't tested
this yet, but you could try setting the 'apt_bind' option in the
config file to "127.0.0.1". That should cause debtorrent to only
listen for local requests (I think). That's the simplest way, but if
that doesn't work, you could use the 'allowed_ips' option. You'll have
to set it to a filename, and then in that file put a line like

127.0.0.0/16

You'll have to restart DebTorrent after any config file changes to see
if it works. Please let me know if it does work for you, and which
one. If it doesn't I'll look into it further.

Thanks,
Cameron
