  • Closed (moved) Issue created by Roger Dingledine

    If I run a bridge with

    Address 128.31.0.34
    ORListenAddress 128.31.0.39

    and then somebody runs their Tor client with

    bridge 128.31.0.39

    then it will connect, fetch the bridge descriptor, try to build a circuit by using 128.31.0.34, fail, and then sit there circuitless and bridgeless.

    This bug is important because it means if you run a multihomed bridge, all the clients will immediately switch to using its single canonical address, ignoring all the other addresses you configured. If that canonical address gets blocked, the other addresses don't matter even if they'd still work.
