So I'm assuming the combo means `don’t do self-reachability testing`, which //does// sound quite appropriate for a local test relay, although I'm not sure what reachability testing looks like. (Just thought I'd ping you for confirmation and a potential learning opportunity for me.) I think it's a safe assumption for me that this is a good change :). Without knowing more about reachability testing, I'd imagine it constitutes some sort of outbound communication to check whether our ORPort is reachable from another relay. Since we explicitly don't want to publish info to contact our relay, turning off this sort of behavior just makes sense to me (if it //is// as I'm guessing it to be). I've pushed another commit to the github branch: `g...@github.com:dmr-x/stem.git` branch `25631-integ-torrc` commit `37d11c67773361bbebf521691d57468e6ea51d32` web links: https://github.com/dmr-x/stem/tree/25631-integ-torrc https://github.com/dmr-x/stem/commit/37d11c67773361bbebf521691d57468e6ea51d32 atagar and/or teor: please review :) -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/25631#comment:6> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
