That can't be, please post: ~# ls -A /var/log/tor In general, everything is always written to /var/log/syslog & systemd-journald to /var/log/journal (binaries). ~$ man journalctl > I wonder why that Read what _logrotate_ does.

You only need forwarding on a router! Packet forwarding is also disabled in /etc/sysctl.conf per default. Your iptables must start like this. *filter :INPUT DROP [0:0] :FORWARD DROP [0:0] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0] ... -A INPUT -p tcp --dport <Your-Tor-ORPort> -j ACCEPT ... No FORWARD, no OUTPUT rules. -- ╰_╯ Ciao Marco! Debian GNU/Linux It's free software and it gives you freedom!
