andrei,

listening on all interfaces is not good option because of security
issues.

tcp_source_ipv4=.... cannot be used if proxy uses tcp over lo interface
and also over an ethernet interface.

my suggestion is that proxy uses by default an ip that does not belong
to lo interface, but that it itself is listening on.

using an ip that proxy is not listening itself on is not a good idea.
