[tor-relays] Non-standard Bridge

[brightsidedarkside at t-online.de]

Hey again,

I have a similar setup and I think up-to-date-synopsis is

ORPort 80 NoListen
ORPort 0.0.0.0:9001 NoAdvertise

A good start to avoid proxy circumventing software is here.
Notice potential flaws mentioned there!
You might want to just torify a certain user or a machine or everything in your network - here is how to do this.

The problem with normal proxification is every plugin can leak your IP and must be therefore disabled.
You must be ABSOLUTELY sure no software you use this way leaks e.g. DNS info.

Using your kernel's packet filter is IMHO the most user-friendly and reasonably secure way to rock'n'roll.
I might be wrong, but hey, others will prevent you from trusting me. ;-)

Kind regards

christian

 One is the internal port on which Tor listens, the other is the one
 advertised to the outside world. The router forwards one to the other -
 this works fine for normal relays, is there any reason for it not to
 work for a Bridge?

 That would stop Tor handling local connections from applications. Is
 running a Bridge incompatible with local clent traffic? I couldn't find
 anything to that effect in the docs.

I did get a 'Self-testing indicates your ORPort is reachable from the
outside' message eventually - there was just a 12 minute wait between
'Bootstrapped 100%' and 'Guessed our IP address as', the reachability
test followed immediately after.
