Umm, thats what I was trying to avoid, e.g. my computer actually is a
full internet node, but circle detects it as if its on a local network,
and asks me for proxy stuff, and I thought the -d option disabled the
check wether circle needed a proxy or not, but it failed. In other
words I want to start circle like "circle start -d" and not have to
bother with a proxy.

port 8000 gets forwarded to it) ===> WAN
