+
+  The croc rc script now honors an optional croc_host variable that binds
+  the relay to a specific local address instead of all interfaces.
+
+  This is needed on hosts with IP forwarding enabled (typically routers),
+  where the "croc relay" startup self-check connects to the wildcard
+  address (0.0.0.0) and fails with "network is unreachable", causing the
+  relay to exit immediately.  If your relay does not stay running, set a
+  local address of the host in /etc/rc.conf, for example:
+
+      croc_host="192.0.2.1"
+
+  Leaving croc_host empty (the default) keeps the previous behavior of
+  listening on all interfaces.
