No Tor server exists that allows exit to ...

[Justin Coffi]

Happy Holidays.

I've setup a server on tor that I connect to via 
"localhost.<fingerprint>.exit" instead of using a *.onion address. It 
works fine at first. However after 30 minutes or so I start receiving 
messages in my log from a connecting machine that says [notice] No Tor 
server exists that allows exit to 127.0.0.1:<port>

The reason I used this method instead of hidden services was because my 
connections were timing out too frequently.

Any insight or constructive criticism would be appreciated.
