Comment (by teor): Replying to [comment:9 s7r]: > Correct. We should leave `OutboundBindAddress` for the time being. This tor-dev thread confirms adding the algorithm to `OutboundBindAdress` would not work for at least this use case: > > https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor- dev/2016-September/011429.html > > While applying the algorithm to `Address` as described in this ticket would fix it, and plenty more use cases. So, we'll leave `OutboundBindAddress` aside currently. I don't know, does `OutboundBindAddress == Address` unless configured otherwise? No, the outbound address is left unspecified by Tor unless configured explicitly by the user. So the OS determines the outbound address, which can vary depending on the destination (routing table) on multi-homed systems. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/19919#comment:10> 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
