UpDate: Hello Ringo Kamens,,, Having trouble setting up TOR server behind firewall...



Hello Michael Holstein and other interested people
  I thought I had accomplished port forwarding (see attached file) but did not succeed. After checking with Linksys support site I am going to try a new apporach. Will study the doc's from Linksys, if anyone has experience with this please let me know.

Go to the advanced tab -> forwarding

set up two applications, ORport, DIRport .. select TCP, select 9001 and
9030, and point them to whatever IP you have on your linux box.

Make sure you tell TOR to advertise your external IP address via torc.
