Re: Exit Relay on Ubuntu 9.10 behind 2wire 2701HG-B firewall



This may be grasping at straws, but do you have an Address line in your torrc? If you have a static IP address, I'd stick that in the address line; if not, I'd get a DynDNS or No-IP dynamic domain name (and the software to keep it updated) and put the domain name in the address line. If TOR is guessing your IP address wrong for some reason, it may be looking in the wrong place for your relay. Good luck!

Oh, and I'm not familiar with your setup, but do you have a software firewall enabled? That could be tossing your inbound connections.

Thanks for the reply.
I have opened configured port forwarding, and I have verified that the forwarding works using the PFportcheck tool.  It seems like the router is forwarding the ports just fine, but still no confirmation.  Is there something on the Tor/Ubuntu side that I am missing?

You have to configure portforwarding for your Tor relay too:
