Re: PHP coder needs Tor details
Actually Windows does exactly the same thing... I'm sorry I have started this discussion, which is off-topic for this list. My point is merely that giving user ``nobody'' access to tor's data is a tragically bad idea. This has nothing to do with Windows. Juliusz
how did my OP discover this IP address?
I've been reading my OP's log file sorting through the various outbound connections that it makes into the Tor network. I came across the following directory fetch request: connection_connect(): Connecting to 72.1.218.225:9030 What has me a little puzzled is that I can't find this IP address anyplace in my OP's cached directory information. Also, looking at the torstats web page (https://torstat.xenobite.eu), I don't find it listed there either. I think maybe this was the IP address of the router hevad99, which is now listed with the IP 72.1.218.238. If this host has a dhcp connection then that might explain things. Is it the case that hevad99's IP address changed during my (1 hour) Tor session? -James
Re: Question about 2 warn messages
I wouldn't be concerned about the 403 error. I've gotten them before, and I've always attributed them to the web filter. As long as you get directory info from other servers, everything should be fine. This is different if that dir server is an authoritative dir server. If it is, it could hamper your anonymity because your client would trust different tor nodes. Are you on windows or linux?

Re: how did my OP discover this IP address?
Perhaps that was an IP you typed directly in. For example, you clicked on a web link and instead of http://domainname.tld it was http://182.271.274.175 in which case tor would only show and IP. I'm not sure if that's how it would appear in the log file, but it's a guess.

Re: PHP coder needs Tor details
Hm..., Why no one answers? Did I said something wrong? Mr. Blue [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey Crew. Thanks to all for your help. First for all I would like to say that this file.php(which is manipulating Tor) will be located in admin area ONLY and will be intended for use ONLY by admin. Admin area is protected by Apache pass authentication (Digest) over SSL and after that is passed, admin must enter another login password to enter admin area. Only admin will use it - NOT publicly available to users! Next Firstly I need to issue to shell, from PHP, command that will start Tor. Regarding that command... It will have ALL directives that should normally be located in torrc, but there is no torrc, nor I have intention to use it. So command is: -- tor -gid $gid -pidfile $pidfile -RunAsDaemon $b -user $uid -ClientOnly 1 -EntryNodes $nickname, -ExitNodes $nickname -StrictExitNodes 1 -NewCircuitPeriod 3600 - -- Regarding nodes Entry and exit nodes will be same. Before I continue I would like to say that I have made a PHP script that is utilizing regular expresions and harvesting all exit nodes in a list of IP addresses from moria dirs. So I would like to pull from my database IP of a node(NOT nickname) and put it in a $nickname variable. Will this work? Can I select node by IP and NOT by nickname? Also when that will be achived I am going to use PHP cURL and connect with it to 127.0.0.1:9050 using SOCKS5 protocol - then do request to some page on the internet and finaly use POSIX - posix_kill($pidfile, SIGTERM); php function to shutdown Tor, alternatively use kill to which I pass $pidfile, all in shell. Now someone will say that I should connect to Tor using SOCKS4a and am I normall to use ONLY 1 node which will be entry and exit at the same time. Be sure that I am VERY aware of my actions - but I am not here because I don't wana be tracked and because I want to surf anonimously. Now here we come to the bigest obstacle for me.(oh men, soon as I finish this script I am going to read FreeBSD book that I just got and learn that UNIX at once!) Creating a valid shell command: -- tor -gid $gid -pidfile $pidfile -RunAsDaemon $b -user $uid -ClientOnly 1 -EntryNodes $nickname, -ExitNodes $nickname -StrictExitNodes 1 -NewCircuitPeriod 3600 - -- User nobody will run it. - Should I exlude -gid $gid part? - Should $b variable be 0 OR 1 (that is..., should I run it as deamon?) - Should I exlude -user $uid part? - What about $nickname? Can I pass it IP of a node? - What should I put in a $pidfile variable?!? - I never saw one (number or letters?) It will also be used for shuting down Tor at the end of a process... Also I just rememberd something... Whan tor was already runnig(started by root) I was able to utilize connection trough it by nobody, but when I attempted shutdown I got message that there was no process with pid belonging to it - or something similar - so that explains all.
