This is already documented in
<
https://tails.boum.org/contribute/design/#index27h3>:
The Tor software is currently configured as a client only (onion
proxy). The client listens [...] as a transparent proxy on port 9040
(only used for remapped hidden services) [...].
The aforementioned port is useless since 0.13 as no applications run by
the main user (amnesia) is able to acces it. This commit fix a
regression introduced when adding more restrictions for outgoing
packets.
