Re: [tor-relays] Why is Tor trying to check the wrong ORPort/DirPort addresses?

Hello,

I have experienced exactly the same problem with similar networking
configuration and reported it here:

https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/13953

It's being worked on.

In your case, however, it appears that the Address argument isn't
working and we need to find out why. I only want to highlight not to
confuse Address with OutboundBindAddress which are separate things and
both needed. The only difference in your setup vs mine is the Debian
version (you are on Jessie, I was on Wheezy). Please retry with these
lines in the config:

ORPort 50.7.178.99:444
DirPort 50.7.178.99:83
OutboundBindAddress 50.7.178.99
Address 50.7.178.99
RunAsDaemon 1
[add your other required config lines such as Log notice file and
DataDirectory]

Do this for every instance and substitute the IP address and ports per
each one. After you make sure the configuration files for all your Tor
instances contain the above data do what teor asked and provide the
relevant section of the debug log.
