[tor-relays] port 9001 udp

[zwiebel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi relay-tives!
Â
It's my first post here, so please can someone help me with my question
Â
Why do I have to open 9001 UDP at the DSL router firewall and not necessarily in iptables?
Is it something specific on my side or does someone has an explanation?
Â
The OR service seems to work. Ok - I see nearly no traffic may-be because of my small
bandwidth. See some information about my system
Â
Setup
ÂÂÂ PC (P4 2GB noHDD) with USB-LAN adapter (eth2) connected to DSL router (NAT & firewall)
ÂÂ ÂTails 0.20.1 on SD card with USB adapter write protected
ÂÂ ÂServer IP x.x.x.33 received from the DHCP DSL router
Â
Goal
ÂÂ ÂRun PC as OR relay non exit
ÂÂ ÂRun OR service
ÂÂ ÂDont run DIR service
Â
DSL router setting
ÂÂ ÂOpen DSL router firewall IP x.x.x.33 TCP 9001 for OR
ÂÂ ÂOpen DSL router firewall IP x.x.x.33 UDP 9001 for OR <= IS THE POINT
Â
Done to tails manually each time the PC turns on (amnesia!):
ÂÂ ÂRoot terminal (password) and "/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth2 -p tcp --dport 9001 -j ACCEPT"
ÂÂ ÂThe the only change to original tails iptables list is the added rule
Â
Done to Vidalia: relay-non-exit, nickname, email, port=9001, bandwidth limits typ 20kByte/s and max 25kByte/s
Â
The log messages tell me success and all runs for a week.
Â
Thanks front-up
Â
Zwiebel
