<div dir="ltr"><div><font face="arial, sans-serif">I just started a relay (non-exit node, not running a client myself), on Windows, using the latest Vidalia Relay Bundle. Looks like from the configuration, given that I'm running in relay mode, there should be only two ports used by Tor (OrPort and DirPort), right? However, when I run "netstat -ano", I see that the Tor process is using up a lot more ports.</font></div>

<div><font face="arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial, sans-serif">These appear to be the actual Tor relay traffic (192.168.1.202 is my computer). Why are these using ports in the 55000+ range, when I specified my OrPort to be a singular value (in my case, 9031)? I would like to know the port ranges used by Tor for relay traffic, so I can use my dd-wrt to set the QoS by specifying these Tor port ranges.</font></div>
