> Hello Patrice > > would be great if you can share your script , thanks. Hi, sure, with pleasure. But I have to say I am not a professional programmer. There are surely better ways to do this, but it works for me. Before you can use it you have to make it executable with this command: chmod +x build_tor_from_source.sh And make sure to read the info in the script. After that you are ready to roll. regards Patrice ## build_tor_from_source.sh ######################################################################## ####################################################### ## This script is for a automatic installation of tor out of the sources. ## What it will do: # # 1. It downloads the newest tarball, compiles and installs it. # 2. It copies the data dir (with the keys) and the torrc. # 3. It removes all installations files. # 4. It starts tor as the current user # 5. It adds tor as crontab (@bootup) of current user # 6. changes the permissions of the tor logs, tor folder and torrc for the current user # 6. At the end it shows the logs to check the tor startup process ## What are the requirements for this installation script # # - the torrc must be in the same folder as this script # - check the paths used in this script if they fit for your system (the default paths are for Pi OS) # - this script must be in a location where it has write permisssions (for example home folder of current user) ## What this script can't do # # Tor is not compiled wioth systemd support, so this won't work until you switch it on. ####################################################### #! /bin/bash # echo output colour # green="tput setaf 2" white="tput setaf 7" yellow="tput setaf 3" red="tput setaf 1" ##################### $yellow echo -e "\n\n####################" echo -e "# Tor Installation #" echo -e "####################\n" # show tor version for comparison $yellow echo -e "\nTor version on the system ->" $green tor --version | cut -b 13-20 echo # new line $yellow echo -e "Tor version online available ->" $green lynx -nonumbers -dump https://dist.torproject.org | grep "https://dist.torproject.org/tor-" | grep -v "alpha" | grep -v "rc" | grep -v "asc" | tail -1 | cut -b 33-40 # question for installation $red echo -e "\n\n" read -p "Installing new version?

I have opened: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/tor/-/issues/40283 In 0.4.5.x tor, things have changed where tor will try to auto discover an IPv6 and automatically bind to it if only "ORPort <PORT>" is used. In other words, it now binds to 0.0.0.0 and [::] by default. It then publish any discovered _usable_ and _reachable_ IPv4/IPv6. If it doesn't find any IPv6, it will still listen but won't publish any IPv6. > > It seems the value [address:] is no longer optional if you're not IPv6 ready > [1]: > > ORPort [address:]PORT|auto [flags] > DirPort [address:]PORT|auto [flags] > > So I have to change my torrc to: > > ORPort 0.0.0.0:587 > DIRPORT 0.0.0.0:995 Another option would have been to add the "IPv4Only" flag to the ORPort line and should have done it for you.

Can't connect to bridge after rebuilding server
by Eddie 09 Feb '21

09 Feb '21

I had to rebuild my VPS today. Before doing so, I copied off everything I thought I needed to rebuild my bridges. Following the rebuild, the bridges appear to start correctly, according to both the logs and https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#search/OhNoAnotherBridge. However attempting to connect via the tor browser from my home system just hangs. The ports on the VPS are open. I can see an ESTABLISHED connection from home, but the browser just hangs throwing out this: [WARN] Proxy Client: unable to connect to aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:443 ("general SOCKS server failure") Not sure what to check next.
