  • Closed (moved) Issue created by Robert Ransom

    I ran a Tor instance with the following lines in its torrc:

    ORPort 51412
    BridgeRelay 1
    ExitPolicy reject *:*
    PublishServerDescriptor hidserv

    (There were other non-comment lines in the torrc, including lines specifying hidden services, but those are not relevant.)

    I expected this Tor instance to publish hidden service descriptors and not publish any router descriptor (whether bridge or public relay). Instead, it published a router descriptor as a public relay.

    The hidserv parameter to the PublishServerDescriptor torrc option is obsolete, it is ignored by the code that publishes hidden service descriptors (even v0 descriptors), and the configuration-parsing code should explicitly ignore it (and print a warning).
