Subject: Exit Relay on Ubuntu 9.10 behind 2wire 2701HG-B firewall
To:
tor-relays@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx(Sorry if this is a repost... haven't figured out mail lists yet)
Hello,
I'm trying to configure an Ubuntu 9.10 exit relay for Tor
using Vidalia.
I'm on bellsouth/at&t networks, and I have
successfully installed vidalia and tor.
I've pointed tor to a user
writable rc file rather than the root torrc (~/.vidalia/torrc).
Everything gets up and running, but the relay (OR on 9000 and DIR on
9001)
is unable to verify that its ports are reachable
(Your
server has not managed to confirm that its [ORPort/DirPort] is
reachable.
Please check your firewalls, ports, address, /etc/hosts
file, etc.)
I have specifically opened ports 9000-9001 on my router (a 2wire
2701HG-B).
I originally set ORPort to 443 and DirPort to 80, but this
failed. I thought changing these to more standard values would fix
this, but it has not.
I can see the Tor network just fine. I have not tried to actually use
the Tor network (via a client); I'm just interested in hosting right
now.
Any suggestions on what I may have missed? Ideally, I'd
like to get this working on 443 and 80, but I'd be happy with any ports
at all.
Thanks,
Fizyxnrd
