 If your computer has more than one IPv4 or IPv6 address, tinc
 will by default listen on all of them for incoming connections.
 Multiple BindToAddress variables may be specified,
 in which case listening sockets for each specified address are made.
 
+If no @var{port} is specified, the socket will be bound to the port specified by the Port option,
+or to port 655 if neither is given.
+To only bind to a specific port but not to a specific address, use "*" for the @var{address}.

 This option may not work on all platforms.

+@cindex LocalDiscovery
+@item LocalDiscovery = <yes | no> (no) [experimental]
+When enabled, tinc will try to detect peers that are on the same local network.
+This will allow direct communication using LAN addresses, even if both peers are behind a NAT
+and they only ConnectTo a third node outside the NAT,
+which normally would prevent the peers from learning each other's LAN address.
+
+Currently, local discovery is implemented by sending broadcast packets to the LAN during path MTU discovery.
+This feature may not work in all possible situations.
