Faking a local connection to services running on exit node

I have a relay running on the same system as several other services. Some of these services only accept connections from the localhost (or otherwise give special privileges to localhost) . If I allow my relay to be an exit node, someone attempting to connect to these services through Tor will appea

Reliable relay status check

Is there a way to test that my relay is working? My logs indicate that ORPort and DirPort are both "reachable from the outside", but several different websites (such as https://torstat.xenobite.eu/) can't find my relay (nicknamed "shallot"). Thanks, -Brian -- Feel free to contact me using PGP En

Change Circuit

Hi everybody. First of all, sorry if it has already been explained, I'm new here. I would like to know how to change the circuit that Tor is using (like the option "Use a New Identity" at Vidalia control panel). But I want to make this only using command line, running Linux. Is that possible? Than

Re: Why you need balls of steel to operate a Tor exit node

I've worked in large internet orgs. We would get 'preservation requests' all the time. No one was aware of any law forcing them to honor requests, and there was no subpoena/order delivered as part of the request. It was basically LEO's, websites and users mailing/calling and saying, hey, what do yo
