 Hi, everyone!
 My computer is behind a NAT and I can connect to the Tor network
 directly ( not using Tor bridges although I am in China). Now I want
 to configure my tor as a bridge to let my friend connect to the Tor
 network. His IP is 172.18.12.xxx. My configuration file looks like:
 BridgeRelay 1
 ContactInfo hegaofeng at seu dot edu dot cn
 ControlPort 9051
 ExitPolicy reject *:*
 Log notice stdout
 Nickname ORhgf
 ORPort 443
 PublishServerDescriptor 0
 RelayBandwidthBurst 10485760
 RelayBandwidthRate 5242880
 And my bridge information is: 172.18.12.161:443
 But this dosen't work. The Vidalia is always stopping at Loading
 relay information
 I use Wireshark and find the TLS handshake is normal.
 Can anyone tell me why? Thanks a lot!

first, you can't run any tor service behind NAT unless you can configure
your firewall/NAT in order to enable port forwarding. 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.

Cannot Download Bridges

2010-04-01 Thread john smith
Greetings from SE Asia,

I've been unable to download bridges in the 1.3.3 version of the
tor-browser bundle for windows, when attempting to download bridges
via SettingsNetworkFind Bridges Now.

Each time I attempt to download bridges I receive the following:

Unable to download bridges: HTTP request failed.

I've attempted to acquire bridges, using the above described method,
on several occasions during the last week - each time receiving the
same notification.

Is it possible this connection is being blocked from within the
country where I'm attempting to retrieve the bridges (Thailand) or
perhaps from somewhere else?

I also noticed the same problem with the previous version of the tor
browser bundle for windows, so it would not seem to necessarily be a
*new* problem.

Of course I've been able to obtain  successfully use bridges using
the other [documented] means of acquiring bridges but I'm left
wondering why this connection problem is happening and if anyone else
was having similar problems either in Thailand or elsewhere?

Any thoughts?

Regards,

John

What happens when you try to visit https://bridges.torproject.org/
with your (non-torified) browser?

It's possible. It's just a website, and the people running your country's
firewall are already good at blocking websites when they choose to.

Also, you should notice that the bridges given out via https tend to
get blocked earlier than the bridges given out via gmail. So if they do
block that website, it may be that the next step is to block the bridges
it gives out.

 Of course I've been able to obtain  successfully use bridges using

A fine question. Last I heard, that website is only blocked in China.

 Hi,
  does anyone know if there is a config file option to turn off all
 caching in Polipo?
 I am having a problem with variable PHP pages being cached, and would
 prefer not to have to add Cache-Control headers everywhere. The manual
 doesn't seem to allow for that eventuality.

Have you tried connecting to http://localhost:8123/polipo/config? (and
setting CacheDir to /dev/null there if nothing else works) 

Cheers,
Tom

I can confirm that it's possible to access this site at the present time.

Thanks for the feedback on this question  thanks also for providing
some alternative methods for obtaining bridges.

Re: Firefox quits when attempting to download

Hi,

Can you rm tor-browser_en-US/Lib/libz* and try again? I think that'll
fix the crash for now and I'll have a real fix in the next bundle.
