Comment (by egypcio): it's really not that "I don't like it". when you put things this way (and paste the diff with the changes) looks like you got things personal - it is/was not my intention, btw. I completely understand that having 'ORPort 443' includes more people to reach out the relay and so on, but if you check forums and/or mailing lists you can get the feedback from many people trying to bind tor (and many other unix daemons) to low ports and getting issues related to it; there's actually a note on the official torrc sample configuration about this king of thing. FreeBSD was/is one of the systems that does not allow (by default) unpriv users to bind sockets to low ports; and 9001 is present on the wiki page here for FreeBSD ;-) why did I use the 9001? it's the default for torrc and an unpriv user can bind a socket to such a port; than the relay admin can judge if the S.O. of choice can work on binding low ports to unpriv users - or do whatever it's needed to advertise the 443 (in question here). for DragonFly-, Net- and OpenBSD I just updated the wiki pages and reflected this kind of info. thanks for reporting this issue. very appreciated! PS: having other ports rather than 'just' 443 is also not a bad idea. that was the motivation behind the 'TRY A DIFFERENT PORT'. 22, 587, 993, 1194, 500, 5222, 465, 6697, 636, ... -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/27027#comment:2> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
