Yes, this is new see release notes: https://blog.torproject.org/new-stable-security-releases-03515-0449-0459-0465/ Removed features (relay): Because DirPorts are only used on authorities, relays no longer advertise them. Similarly, self-testing for DirPorts has been disabled, since an unreachable DirPort is no reason for a relay not to advertise itself. (Configuring a DirPort will still work, for now.)

No, DirPort can still be used to publish an HTML file. i.e.: DirPortFrontPage /etc/tor/tor-exit-notice.html -- ╰_╯ Ciao Marco!

I have set it back to DirPort 0. One comment, would it not make more sense to give an error when trying to set DirPort != 0? When configured the tor process will open that (now useless??) port and allow connections to it. If it is unused why not simply give an error telling that DirPort is depracted and the config directive was ignored?

This is fine and normal, but I agree it is a surprise. I just opened a ticket in the relay-search component to help future relay operators understand why it ends up as a 0: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/network-health/metrics/relay-search/-/issues/40013 Thanks for running a relay! --Roger ___ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
[tor-relays] New non-exit relay - DirPort question
Hi all I installed a non-exit relay 5 days ago. Works actually quit nicely. I was awarded the stable flag. (Also had briefly the HSDir flag, but lost it after a restart. Too early for the Guard flag.) So I think everything looks good. I have DirPort 9030 in my config. It is shown in nyx and the tor process listens there. But the relay search page says: Dir Addressnone It looks like this on my server: tcp0 0 0.0.0.0:90300.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp0 0 0.0.0.0:90010.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 :::9001 :::*LISTEN Why is it not shown and used by TOR? And what is directory for anyways? Why is it not listening und using IPv6 additionally to IPv4? Did I need to configure something additionally to get it running? Some TOR nodes show a port there. Anything to consider for new relay operators? I have limited the network traffic to 15 MB/s, so 240 MBit/s (bidirectional) so I should be well below my allowance.
