Re: [tor-relays] Is a relay on mobile broadband possible in Australia?
Teor, >>> Most mobile carriers use carrier-grade NAT. Thanks for that. But yet again, I do not have anything but a 'phone passing data via wi-fi to a computer (a Raspberry Pi in this case) so there's no router. From what you say and what I've tried Optus is having a joke and limiting what we can do with 'broadband internet'. Their parents weren't married. I have numerous foreign VPS running mostly without drama. Robert ___ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays

Most mobile carriers use carrier-grade NAT. And then your mobile broadband router probably also does NAT itself. If you don't have a public IPv4 address assigned to the WAN side of your router, there's not much you can do at home. You could rent a remote server (VPS) to set up a Tor bridge or non-exit relay. Some of them even have free trials for a few months. T ___ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays

Teor, > Please run: > tor --verify-config -f torrc > before posting a torrc. That's useful to know. Now that I've used 'auto' for both DirPort and ORPort I still get 'unable to prove they're reachable' for the ports tor has chosen. Is it just a waste of time to try to run a relay through a mobile phone's data because the telco is actively blocking a lot of usual broadband activity?

Re: [tor-relays] Is a relay on mobile broadband possible in Australia?
Indeed. Here is a snapshot of my torch configuration. As you can see, to set my relay to run on port 9002, I set it to “QRPort 9002” This is to just give you an example of roughly what the configuration should look like. QRPort followed by the wanted port number, or auto. So yes QRPort auto should work. Send a note back if it doesn’t. > On Jul 6, 2018, at 1:05 AM, I wrote: > > Embarassingly I asked... > How do I set the ORPort to Auto so that tor chooses the port? > ORPort Auto is rejected > > Roger Dingledine wrote: > >> It appears to be case sensitive: if you say "auto" it should work, >> but if you say "Auto" it won't know what you mean. > > Bugger! > Thanks Roger. > > > > ___ > tor-relays mailing list > tor-relays@lists.torproject.org > https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays ___ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
Re: [tor-relays] Is a relay on mobile broadband possible in Australia?
Embarassingly I asked... How do I set the ORPort to Auto so that tor chooses the port? ORPort Auto is rejected Roger Dingledine wrote: > It appears to be case sensitive: if you say "auto" it should work, > but if you say "Auto" it won't know what you mean. Bugger!

Using a port scanning site no common ports appear open so there may be some translation going on out of my reach. Again it is a sim card in a phone from which the 'net comes to a RPi via wi-fi.

Re: [tor-relays] Is a relay on mobile broadband possible in Australia?
Thank you, It is a Raspberry Pi tethered to a cellphone with bulk data and fair speed which is much faster than a landline and modem would be. Telstra guaranteed " nought bytes/sec ". Grarpamp said > > ... a block is a block. Either get it lifted, or > vpn / shell / proxy / tunnel around it, How? Go on... The torrc manual says this. ORPort [address:]PORT|auto [flags] Advertise this port to listen for connections from Tor clients and servers. This option is required to be a Tor server. Set it to "auto" to have Tor pick a port for you Does that mean ORPort myapparentip:Auto ? ORPort Auto is rejected.
