Running an exit node behind NAT?

Good afternoon fellow exit node operators, I'm trying to run an exit node for specific ports on a reserved IP address from a VM behind NAT. Based on old how-to's and resolving errors in syslog, this is where I've settled for the torrc after installing the instances via ansible and relayor (thanks nusenu!); however, I'm not seeing the traffic counters update much at all and the exit node isn't showing up in consensus.

Willing to be FallbackDir
by Quake 23 Sep '18

23 Sep '18

Hello, I'm interested on being a FallbackDir. Relay details: Nick: Quake Fingerprint: 490FB3FAAF8837407D94CA7E1DEF025DEF0F3516 Dir address: 178.175.139.122:80 A few restarts here and there but downtimes so far have been just few minutes max. I tend to run the latest Tor unstable versions and update as fast as possible when a new version comes out. If you feel like the relay's eligible to be added as a FallbackDir then by all means, feel free to add it to the source code.

Re: [tor-relays] Help! TOR Relat dead after upgrading Ubuntu to 18.04
by Ben Riley 23 Sep '18

23 Sep '18

I'm back in business!!!! THANK YOU!! So I changed a couple of ports and also opened those on my router. Previously I only had 9030 & 9001. I've added DirPort on 9051, Socks on 9050. I've actually got 4 ports open on the router for TOR - 9001, 9030, 9050 & 9051. I set 9030 as my control port in torrc - does that port need to be open on the router? Or can I remove that port forward? I have one of the authentication methods unhashed, so I believe that protects that somewhat. netstat -tlpn returns the following: Active Internet connections (only servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:9051 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 9531/tor tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:9030 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 9531/tor tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:9001 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 9531/tor tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:5939 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1342/teamviewerd tcp 0 0 127.0.0.53:53 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 747/systemd-resolve tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:631 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 6055/cupsd tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:9050 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 9531/tor tcp6 0 0 ::1:631 :::* LISTEN 6055/cupsd nyx appears to be running fine now. I can see the graph and log messages like previously. It pulled my previous Nickname, but I currently have no flags, so I'm guessing that will update later. I've got the exit policy set to reject *:* however, as I don't want to blow my ISP off. Is that about it? Can anyone think of anything else I need to check?

Hi, I recently migrated my tor node to new hardware: t0rnod3 5582BBEC12380E34D7DFB8C237939A0B317B205E Copying the /var/lib/tor/keys/ folder on the process. Now my node do not handles circuits, nor it's shown in atlas and I see the following on the logs: [notice] Heartbeat: It seems like we are not in the cached consensus.

Mexico City operator meetup (October 2nd)
by Colin Childs 20 Sep '18

20 Sep '18

Hello tor-relays, At 6:30PM on October 2nd, the Tor Project will be hosting a relay operator meetup in Mexico City, at the Sheraton Maria Isabel[1][2]. Come along and meet other relay operators and hear the latest news from Tor — we’ll also have T-shirts and stickers to kit out your devices. If you don’t run a relay but would like to know more, there will be lots of people at the meetup happy to help you. I also encourage you to read the complete blog post on the Tor Meeting Open Days linked below[1]. There are multiple other events happening around the meeting that relay operators may be interested in. We would love to see you there, thank you all for being part of the relay operator community!

Tor Relay Software Warns When Current Running Version Of Tor Is No Longer Recommended, But Not When A Newer Version Is Available?
by Keifer Bly 20 Sep '18

20 Sep '18

Hello, A few days ago, I upgraded my version of tor from 0.3.3.9 to tor 0.3.4.8. I noticed, however, that tor does not tell me when a new version is available. But in the past when I was a few versions behind, it popped up with a message saying “WARNING: this version of tor is out of date or no longer recommended.” So, I am just wondering, why is it that the tor software warns when the current version is “no longer recommended” but does not warn when an update is available? Thanks.
