<div>Hi, everyone!</div>
<div style="text-indent: 2em;">My computer is behind a NAT and I can
connect to the Tor network directly ( not using Tor bridges although I
am in China). Now I want to configure my tor as a bridge to let my
friend connect to the Tor network. His IP is 172.18.12.xxx. My
configuration file looks like:</div>
<div style="text-indent: 2em;">BridgeRelay 1 </div>
<div style="text-indent: 2em;">ContactInfo hegaofeng at seu dot edu dot cn
</div>
<div style="text-indent: 2em;">ControlPort 9051 </div>
<div style="text-indent: 2em;">ExitPolicy reject *:* </div>
<div style="text-indent: 2em;">Log notice stdout </div>
<div style="text-indent: 2em;">Nickname ORhgf </div>
<div style="text-indent: 2em;">ORPort 443 </div>
<div style="text-indent: 2em;">
<div>PublishServerDescriptor 0</div>
<div>RelayBandwidthBurst 10485760</div>
<div>RelayBandwidthRate 5242880</div>
<div> </div>
<div>And my bridge information is: 172.18.12.161:443</div>
<div> </div>
<div>But this dosen't work. The Vidalia is always stopping at
"Loading relay information...".</div>
<div>I use Wireshark and find the TLS handshake is normal.</div>
<div>Can anyone tell me why? Thanks a lot!</div>
</div>

first, you can't run any tor service behind NAT unless you can
configure your firewall/NAT in order to enable port forwarding. By the
way, what the hell is 172.18.12.161? Who can connect to that thing?<br>
<br>
second, I do not think "Loding relay information..." has anything to
do with your recent bridge configuration.<br>
