hi tor-onions list,
after trying my best i'm following the hint [1] to seek for help in this list.
what i want to achive:
i set up a sensor node running openwrt in an area in germany without wifi. so i want to connect (to) it via gsm/gprs (german telekom/d1).
connecting from the node to the internet is no problem.
problem is: i cant reach any services on the node from the internet because the gsm-carrier runs some intransparant internal ipv4-proxy or switch or whatever to save ipv4-addresses so neither the ip nor dyndns is working.
my idea to workaround: run tor hidden services on the node. http [2] for luci/graphical admin interface and ssl [3] for general administrative tasks. for setup i followed one general howto [4] and one ssl specific [5]. i tried to debug via [1]. i enclosed my torrc further down.
i waited over one hour for tor to broadcast its new services. but not even just the hello-world-page is popping up in my clients tor browser. didnt even try to connect to ssl yet.
checked server config, curl 127.0.0.1:8080 is returning hello-world, checked tor config and files over and over. the tor browser on the client is working. no idea what else to try.
i go to bed now. but i appreciate every hint and will report back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. thanks in advance. mois
