By the way, what
Actually, I think you've overstated that a little bit. Hidden services can be offered by client-only systems and therefore can do so behind a NATing router without any port forwarding beyond what the NAT is already doing. >the hell is 172.18.12.161? Who can connect to that thing? Well, one would certainly hope that it's not his real address, now that he's publicized it as being supposedly a bridge address. As far as your second question is concerned, let us hope that the answer is "no one". > >second, I do not think "Loding relay information..." has anything to do >with your recent bridge configuration. > In this, you are most likely correct. To offer a relay of any type behind a NATing router, one does have to configure the router with the appropriate RDR for port forwarding, although I confess I've never played with BINAT and therefore have no idea whether there might be a way to make it work for tor.
