Comment (by landers): >In this case, it's likely that GetAdaptersAddresses failed to return any addresses, and >to the UDP socket hack is being used to find the client IP address. To confirm this, >please check the info-level logs for messages like: >Unable to load iphlpapi.dll >Unable to obtain pointer to GetAdaptersAddresses >GetAdaptersAddresses failed after setting Log info or log debug stdout.. i didnt get any info for the adapters. tor connects to the network and only references 127.0.0.1 with "Notice" "[Notice] Opening Socks listener on 127.0.0.1:xxxx" "DisableIOCP 0/1" wont push away tor connecting to 18... either but i tried just in case to see if the behavior from IOCP networking API would affect the connection. >Tor clients generate a new SSL certificate each time their IP address changes - this >makes sure they can't be tracked across different networks. >Tor uses two methods to find the address, GetAdaptersAddresses and the "UDP socket >hack": asking the machine the local address of a UDP socket. For the hack to work, the >socket has to be associated with a public IP address. Tor never sends data on the >socket, it's entirely safe to block it with your firewall. Tor's just using it to check >if your local address has changed. yes blocking the ip does the trick for the fw while tor connects to the network. thank you for the explanation. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/19945#comment:4> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online _______________________________________________ tor-bugs mailing list tor-bugs@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-bugs
