Recently I have been receiving warnings on notices.log shown below. Today I started a new exit relay and immediately received a similar message. Is this familiar to anyone? What's my problem?
Dec 31 03:26:35.000 [warn] Malformed IP "???" in address pattern; rejecting.
Dec 31 03:26:35.000 [warn] Couldn't parse line "[???]:*". Dropping
Dec 31 03:26:35.000 [warn] Malformed policy 'reject [???]:*'. Discarding entire policy list.
Dec 31 03:26:35.000 [warn] append_exit_policy_string(): Bug: Unable to
parse internally generated policy reject [???]:* (on Tor 0.2.7.6 )
Hi Larry,
This is a harmless warning that happens when tor skips an address policy created from an invalid address.
The rest of the internal address policy creation works fine - tor is doing exactly what it's supposed to, it's just noisy about it.
It's fixed in master (and the fix will be released in 0.2.8), but we decided not to do a backport to 0.2.7 just to fix an extra warning.
