Let me dig through the code a little. Once your router is no longer publishing router descriptors, the clock starts ticking: it will no longer be included in the network status documents the authorities generate after it's older then MAX_AGE_TO_PUBLISH seconds old (currently, 20 hours, though we're going to crank this up to something higher so clients don't need to publish so often), the authorities won't include it in the network status documents they generate. Some clients may ask caches for the descriptor anyway, since they may have older network status documents. Caches throw even old expired descriptors away after OLD_ROUTER_DESC_MAX_AGE (currently 5 days). It would be cool to have a patch to dir-spec.txt to document this stuff, if it's not documented there somewhere already. :) peace, -- Nick Mathewson pgpnQnxEj1wSR.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: Tor server web page?
http://tor.stugs.com I put that up to help filter abuse complaints to a separate address. About half my complaints now come through that address, so I guess it's working. matt Sam Creasey wrote: I know I've seen this discussed on here, and it's pretty much just a FAQ at this point, but somehow my google skills are failing me...

Re: Tor server web page?
Run Apache (or whatever) on the same box and follow these instructions : http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#ServerForFirewalledClients specifically : To offer your directory mirror on port 80, where apache is already listening, add this to your apache config: ProxyPass /tor/ http://localhost:9030/tor/ ProxyPassReverse /tor/ http://localhost:9030/tor/ Then just set the basic html page as you describe in httdocs. It's also a good idea to have the reverse dns say something like "tor-anonymous-proxy.whateverdomain.com" because that's the first place folks will look.
