You always look at this from the viewpoint of a network  
administrator. If you have no control over the network you are in  
(i.e. you are not an admin), and the only thing you can do is make a  
tunnel to the outside world, then you need to be able to override the  
host detected by your protocol. This is why, if you do not allow this  
in a client, you will never be able to use that client on the network  
you are working in.
