Hi, My server has many IP addresses. I was paranoid that even though I set "Address" in my configuration, outgoing connections might originate from one of the other IP 's on the server. So to combat this I use the following iptables rule:
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s ! 85.234.136.20 -m owner --uid-owner debian-tor -j SNAT --to-source 85.234.136.20 Where 'debian-tor' is the user my tor process runs as, and 85.234.136.20 is the IP I want all tor outgoing connections to appear from. My question is. Is this a waste of time? Does tor already originate connections from the same IP it listens on? If not, it should... At the very minimum, it should be a documented issue. Thanks, Mike
