Please test these experimental bundles that have tor-fw-helper included. You may know that flash proxy requires people to set up port forwarding (https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/FlashProxyHowto). tor-fw-helper is a tool that uses UPnP or NAT-PMP to forward a port automatically. I'm interested in finding out how likely it is to work.
https://people.torproject.org/~dcf/pt-bundle/3.5.2-fwhelper-1/
The bundles are configured to run flash proxy and tor-fw-helper. You just have to click "Connect" and wait up to 60 seconds. You don't have to do any special tests; just see whether it bootstraps or not.
I've tried on a Ubuntu 13.10 live system one one network. No luck. :(
We solved it with David. The problem was that the IPv6 address was given to registrators. Adding `-4` to the flashproxy-client flags in torrc made it work.
In the process, we discovered that NAT-PMP is having really weird behaviour and should probably be discarded.
Two other problems I can think of:
* tor-fw-helper currently registers the port redirection under the label “Tor relay”. That's OK if used by a relay operator on their own network, but not in the use case where Tor is banned and you want to conceal its usage. * There's no unregistration process when the browser is shut down, so the ports will stay open as until the router is rebooted (or at least that was my impression). Probably we would like to fix that as browsers can be restarted several times in course of a single day.
Otherwise, I think it's pretty awesome to be that straightforward to use.
