Yes, it sends a reload signal:
https://gitweb.torproject.org/nyx.git/tree/nyx/__init__.py#n230

You can also reload tor's config using systemd or "kill -HUP".

If you are running obfs4, you also need to forward its port.

I think raspbian = debian
commands on systems with systemd:

either first: ~$ su
or put 'sudo' in front of the commands:

start tor # systemctl start tor
stop tor # systemctl stop tor
reload config # systemctl reload tor
stop + start tor # systemctl restart tor

at several tor instances:
# systemctl reload tor@00
# systemctl reload tor@01

restart machine # reboot
stop the machine # shutdown -h now

I assume you're running some Linux, may I ask which one? Debian based?
Does your system come with systemd?

[tor-relays] Some newbie questions

2019-10-02 Thread skarz
Hello all, I have a few newbie questions on some topics that I would like to 
clear up...

What is the proper way to stop/start/restart a relay? I’ve ‘corrupted’ a few 
relays during this process, for example a relay had a new fingerprint after 
restarting the machine. Actually my biggest problems thus far are all based 
around Tor behaving weird after a restart.

Also, after I make changes to the torrc file, is pressing ‘x’ in Nyx an 
acceptable way to enable the changes or is there a preferred method?

Last, if I’m running a bridge at home do I need to configure iptables / 
fail2ban or is my firewall sufficient? And specifically which ports need to be 
forwarded to my bridge? Just the ORPort or others as well?

Thanks!
