Re: [tor-relays] Port Forwarding Question
Local port is the port of the machine running your relay (be sure to put the correct local IP address, preferably set a static IP or DHCP reservation so that your relay’s PC gets always the same private IP on your LAN).
External port is the port of your router that you want to forward to the relay’s machine. Tor defaults behavior is to advertise that it accepts connection on the ORPort, so 9001 in your case.
It works like this:
External connection on port 9001 ==> your router ==> internal connection forwarded to port 9001 ==> Relay’s PC
tl;dr
Set external and internal port both on 9001 to translate any connection to port 9001 of your public IP address to port 9001 of your relay’s PC.
