The 172.18.12.161 is my private network address and the bridge is only intended to be used in the internal network.

Hi, everyone!

My computer is behind a NAT and I can connect to the Tor network directly ( not using Tor bridges although I am in China). Now I want to configure my tor as a bridge to let my friend connect to the Tor network. His IP is 172.18.12.xxx. My configuration file looks like:

BridgeRelay 1

ContactInfo hegaofeng at seu dot edu dot cn

ControlPort 9051

ExitPolicy reject *:*

Log notice stdout

Nickname ORhgf

ORPort 443

PublishServerDescriptor 0

RelayBandwidthBurst 10485760

RelayBandwidthRate 5242880

And my bridge information is: 172.18.12.161:443

But this dosen't work. The Vidalia is always stopping at "Loading relay information...".

I use Wireshark and find the TLS handshake is normal.

Can anyone tell me why? Thanks a lot!

first, you can't run any tor service behind NAT unless you can configure your firewall/NAT in order to enable port forwarding. By the way, what the hell is 172.18.12.161? Who can connect to that thing?

second, I do not think "Loding relay information..." has anything to do with your recent bridge configuration.
