Hello,

I am running a tor middle relay on a high bandwidth connection but an running into a problem which is causing me more frustration then needed.

I have multiple virtual ip's on my servers NIC. I only want ports 9030,443 and outgoing connections to be available on 1 virtual IP. In order to accomplish that I have added the following configuration to Vidalia.

This file was generated by Tor; if you edit it, comments will not be preserved

The old torrc file was renamed to torrc.orig.1 or similar, and Tor will ignore it

The problem is TOR.exe looks for the ports on my default NIC ip address of 63.251.20.61:443 and 63.251.20.61:9031

===================================================================== Mar 29 00:03:59.678 [Notice] Now checking whether ORPort 63.251.20.61:443 and DirPort 63.251.20.61:9030 are reachable... (this may take up to 20 minutes -- look for log messages indicating success)

Because I have communication blocked on these ports the reach-ability test fails.

Mar 29 00:23:58.649 [Warning] Your server (63.251.20.61:443) has not managed to confirm that its ORPort is reachable. Please check your firewalls, ports, address, /etc/hosts file, etc. Mar 29 00:23:58.650 [Warning] Your server (63.251.20.61:9030) has not managed to confirm that its DirPort is reachable. Please check your firewalls, ports, address, /etc/hosts file, etc.

Is is possible for the service to only use the ports that I am specifying? If I leave the default ports open then port 443 is open on my main server ip which I do not want.

Additionally if I have the configuration setup with the default ports set i.e not specifying an ip:port in the config in vadalia, when I click on settings/sharing the box relay traffic inside the to network (non-exit relay) is checked as expected.

As soon as I edit the configuration like I have above and specify the ip:port allocations the button goes to run as client only by itself, and it over-writes the configuration I added and defaults the configuration to specify just the ports 443 and 9031 which means bind to 0.0.0.0 i.e 63.251.20.61

Question is there a way to specify outgoing and incoming port allocations to one virtual ip on the IP Stack?

Why is it using the default ip when I am specifically telling it not to do so.

I also see the ports being used in the sniffer output so the software is ignoring my configuration for port:ip bindings.

Thanks,

Justin
