The hostname doesn't need to match any public name. It should just be unique for the local network. I usually leave it set to "freedombox". The domain name should be a public facing name. For example, I have one box using "jvalleroy.mooo.com". I also have Dynamic DNS configured to keep the domain pointing to my public IP. But I don't think these are relevant for Tor relays. Have you set up port forwarding in the router configuration? It should include the ports listed for your Tor relay. -- James
