A user reports a bug when opening/saving settings in torrc in TBB
2.2.35-13 on windows XP SP3:
There is a certain bug in vidalia control panel takes place when
saving/opening torrc file were all settings are not saved and sometime the
windows shows blank (although torrc file is not empty)
1. Start with new copy of TBB
2. Open vidalia control panel click [settings]
3. Select advanced tab
4. Click [edit current torrc] button
By default it will shows the following:
{{{
# This file was generated by Tor; if you edit it, comments will not be
preserved
# The old torrc file was renamed to torrc.orig.1 or similar, and Tor will
ignore it
AvoidDiskWrites 1
ControlPort 9051
DataDirectory .\Data\Tor
DirReqStatistics 0
GeoIPFile .\Data\Tor\geoip
Log notice stdout
SocksListenAddress 127.0.0.1
}}}
5. Click OK
6. Select Network tab from top
7. Check-on option (''My firewall only lets me connect to certain ports'')
and enter 80, 443
8. Check-on option (''my ISP blocks connection to the tor network'')
9. Add 3 or 4 bridge values, for example 1.1.1.1:1, 2.2.2.2:2, 3.3.3.3:3,
4.4.4.4:4 and click OK
10. Again on Vidalia control panel click [settings]
11. Select advanced tab
12. Click [edit current torrc] button
It will show the following (as expected)
{{{
# This file was generated by Tor; if you edit it, comments will not be
preserved
# The old torrc file was renamed to torrc.orig.1 or similar, and Tor will
ignore it
AvoidDiskWrites 1
Bridge 1.1.1.1:1
Bridge 2.2.2.2:2
Bridge 3.3.3.3:3
Bridge 4.4.4.4:4
ControlPort 9051
DataDirectory .\Data\Tor
DirReqStatistics 0
GeoIPFile .\Data\Tor\geoip
Log notice stdout
ReachableAddresses *:80,*:443
ReachableAddresses reject *:*
SocksListenAddress 127.0.0.1
UpdateBridgesFromAuthority 1
UseBridges 1
}}}
Now the bug takes place when clicking [OK] to re-save
13. Click click [edit current torrc] button
The result will now be:
{{{
# This file was generated by Tor; if you edit it, comments will not be
preserved
# The old torrc file was renamed to torrc.orig.1 or similar, and Tor will
ignore it
AvoidDiskWrites 1
Bridge 4.4.4.4:4
ControlPort 9051
DataDirectory .\Data\Tor
DirReqStatistics 0
GeoIPFile .\Data\Tor\geoip
Log notice stdout
ReachableAddresses reject *:*
SocksListenAddress 127.0.0.1
UpdateBridgesFromAuthority 1
UseBridges 1
}}}
So settings for selected ports and number of bridges are lost.
