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

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:
