Probably now it does everything it should.
Added "hidden" transparent proxy functionality. To activate and test uci set tortle.forwarding="0".
I was using /var/lib/tor..... and /var is a symbolic link to tmp so the private key and onion address were being substituted for a new one on boot. Fixed. Other cosmetical and minor additions.
VERSION="0.3" DESCRIPTION="TORTLE - TOR TURTLE Gateway + TOR Hidden Shell"
