#13953: Self-test reachability test - Listen address from ORPort is ignored, it uses default address unless specified via Address argument --------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: s7r | Owner: teor Type: enhancement | Status: needs_review Priority: Medium | Milestone: Tor: 0.2.9.x-final Component: Core Tor/Tor | Version: Tor: 0.2.5.10 Severity: Normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Actual Points: 3 hours Parent ID: #17782 | Points: 3 Reviewer: | Sponsor: --------------------------+------------------------------------
Comment (by s7r): tested teor's branch and it works in practice. Behind NAT it is not a problem, because Tor guesses the public IP address and does the test on that address regardless if it's not configured with `NoListen`. It becomes a problem when there are multiple '''public''' IP addresses on the same server, because Tor will only check the primary (default) address unless differently configured with `Address`. That is why I suggest changing the second part of the log message to be more explicit. Something like: {{{ Please configure the matching IPv4 address for this router as "Address <IPv4 address>" in the torrc configuration file if you have multiple public IP addresses. If you are behind a NAT and have the right ports forwarded you can ignore this warning or, to remove it, use 2 ORPort lines with options NoListen (for the public IPv4 address line) and NoAdvertise (for the internal NAT IPv4 address line). }}} The rest looks good to me. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/13953#comment:23> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online _______________________________________________ tor-bugs mailing list tor-bugs@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-bugs
