Hi, (I've redacted my IP address and relay name and fingerprint here.)
I've set up a bridge relay and it seems to work for a bit and then stop routing traffic. I'm wondering if I've misconfigured it or something. The box running it is behind a NAT and I've port-forwarded to the Relay Port and Directory Port (I'm using the 0.2.2.22-alpha for OS X Power PC via Vidalia). Looking at the logs, I see this frequently: Jan 31 08:54:39.925 [Info] resolve_my_address(): Guessed local hostname 'foo.local' resolves to a private IP address (10.0.1.2). Trying something else. Jan 31 08:54:39.943 [Info] get_interface_address6(): connect() failed: Invalid argument Jan 31 08:54:39.947 [Info] resolve_my_address(): Could not get local interface IP address. Too bad. Jan 31 08:54:39.950 [Info] resolve_my_address(): Address 'tarantula.local' resolves to private IP address '10.0.1.2'. Tor servers that use the default DirServers must have public IP addresses. However, if I simply click on "Setup Relaying" in Vidalia control panel and just click "OK" in the sharing pane (to not change anything), it seems to start routing traffic again: Jan 31 08:52:25.245 [Notice] Your Tor server's identity key fingerprint is 'foo xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' Jan 31 08:52:25.248 [Info] configure_nameservers(): No change to '/etc/resolv.conf' ... Jan 31 08:52:36.232 [Info] connection_ap_make_link(): Making internal anonymized tunnel to [scrubbed]:443 ... Jan 31 08:52:36.235 [Info] onion_pick_cpath_exit(): Using requested exit node 'Tonga' Jan 31 08:52:36.239 [Info] circuit_send_next_onion_skin(): First hop: finished sending CREATE cell to 'TolFuin' Jan 31 08:52:36.242 [Info] connection_ap_make_link(): ... application connection created and linked. ... It goes along happily at least for a few minutes, but then goes back to the first sequence above and doesn't seem to handle any more traffic (until I click through the setup relaying pane in settings). And at other times, it does seems to guess my public IP address correctly after the first sequence I quote above: ... Jan 31 08:52:25.238 [Info] router_pick_published_address(): Could not determine our address locally. Checking if directory headers provide any hints. Jan 31 08:52:25.241 [Info] router_pick_published_address(): Success: chose address 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'. So, I guess I'm wondering how do I tell Tor what my public IP address is? (I maybe completely misunderstanding the problem here, of course.) best and thanks, Joe -- Joseph Lorenzo Hall ACCURATE Postdoctoral Research Associate UC Berkeley School of Information Princeton Center for Information Technology Policy http://josephhall.org/ *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talk in the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
