Peer-to-Peer & BitTorrent local listening interfaces

[teddyrogers]

Tribler 8.2.3 Build 173, I have been testing some of Triblers listening interface settings, and set the torrent proxy, for example, to use SOCKS5.

1. If I configure the Peer-to-Peer local listening interface IP to match the socks proxy, Tribler doesn't seem to like it and torrents stall. Is this correct usage?
2. Can IPv8 traffic be configured to use the SOCKS5 proxy?
3. What is the, "Peer-to-Peer", local listening interface/s used for, IPv8 traffic, tunnels and queries?
4. What is the, "BitTorrent", local listening interface used for, RSS feeds and search queries?
5. What is the, "Torrent", proxy setting used for, all torrent traffic used with zero hops/ no anonymity? Does this include peer-to-peer connections and hostname lookups too?

Information is sparse/ non-existent with these settings!

We typically had information like this in https://www.tribler.org/faq.html This answers some of your questions.

It might be a good idea to have a wiki page for a "User Guide". Perhaps we can even have the Tribler FAQ point to that wiki page.

@synctext what are your thoughts on this? Does a "User Guide" in the GitHub wiki pollute the science pages too much?

@qstokkink @synctext the FAQ doesn't really go into detail to answer my queries above.

@qstokkink @synctext any thoughts on the above please?

Information is also useful to understand your intention to implement the features and determine if there are bugs.
