I have a TOR relay behind a Tomato router on an ADSL line. I activated
the vpn client to route all traffic through privateinternetaccess.com.
Because a TOR relay does not work behind NAT without port forwarding,
I'm looking for a way how to route tor traffic directly to my internet
provider. I
Hi Jochen,
I believe that your bandwidth is limited by your ISP through which you
connect to the internet with your ADSL-line. Therefore, running Tor over a
VPN-connection will not increase the bandwidth of your relay, only
obfuscate your IP address. Correct me if I am wrong.
Regards,
Viktor
Hi Jochen,
Ah, I understand. I believe services like AirVPN allow clients to forward
traffic to them on certain ports. For example, if you configure the
VPN-provider to forward all the incoming traffic on port 9001 to your
router as the client, you are able to run a relay from behind your router
Hi Tschador, here some more:
Only TCP is required! Fritz!Box DSL router works well with Tor but if
Tor has many circuits open, you have to reboot the box every week or so.
Can you print your 'torrc' and the output of '/sbin/iptables -L -nv'?
Please find the listings http

In my experience, setting the bandwidth advertising options does
nothing to stop the storms of circuit creation requests.
This is absolutely correct, and I've been working on this problem with
the Pi for months now.

How did you do that? Is there some deb package for the Pi available?

Generally restarting a Tor relay is something you want to do as little

Looks ok. UID 104 is Tor, right? ('sudo ps anux|grep /usr/sbin/tor')

I run tor perfectly happily on a VPS with 512MB of RAM. That node

To see if it was possible just now I set up an obfsproxy bridge as best I could
