Testing Tor Network Problem
I have been working on getting a working Testing Tor Network. They are all being running on Docker containers within VPC. I am unsure why I am getting the errors I am getting.
Here is my directory authoritative torrc:
TestingTorNetwork 1

AddressDisableIPv6 1
ControlPort 9051

For every other relay just 9001. I have also tested that all of these ports are reachable via telnet. Here is what the logs say from the DA,

Jul 13 18:14:55.006 [warn] You have used DirAuthority or AlternateDirAuthority to specify alternate directory authorities in your configuration. This is potentially dangerous: it can make you look different from all other Tor users, and hurt your anonymity. Even if you've specified the same authorities as Tor uses by default, the defaults could change in the future. Be sure you know what you're doing.
