I'm working on a video for the Free Software Foundation and Electronic
Frontier Foundation describing the
installation and setup of a Tor non-exit relay on a GNU/Linux system.
The notion here is to facilitate setting up a relay so as many people
as possible will do it.
I'm writing a bash script that:
1)) installs Tor on on systems with Debian (apt) or Red Hat (yum)
package managers
2)) sets up the Tor relay config file
3)) gives the user as much information as possible about the status of
the ports the Tor relay uses
The port numbers are: 9001 and 9030
Are these ports open? If not, port forwarding is required.
Can the router be identified (manufacturer and model number)
using the script?
Is the router IP address 192.168.1.1 ?
What information does the user need to set up port forwarding ?
I need some advice on 3)) so the user can set up port forwarding and
thus activate the Tor relay.
specifically -- command-line network diagnostic tools that detect and
display the status of communication to and from the Tor relay and the
Tor network so that these diagnostics cam be included in the script.
The video will essentially tell where to get the script and how to run it.
Regards and Thanks,
