I do not use any scripts to start tor, I just type tor to start the process on debian. And yes the datacenter I run in has an external firewall which requires setting up port forwarding.
The result of running ls -A /var/log/tor root@instance-1:/home/keifer_bly# ls -A /var/log/tor notices.log notices.log.1 notices.log.2.gz notices.log.3.gz notices.log.4.gz notices.log.5.gz root@instance-1:/home/keifer_bly# So it's creating separate .gz files for some reason. I don't know why that is or what to do from here. Thanks. --Keifer On Fri, Mar 10, 2023 at 8:15 AM <li...@for-privacy.net> wrote: > On Mittwoch, 8.
