Hello everyone,
I am new to this forum - so
just very quickly, this about me :
I have been a
GNU-Linux-Debian user since 2005. I now use Debian 7/wheezy with
TBB in its latest version.
The reason that makes me get in touch with you isĀ that I am
pretty desperate and I hope somebody can help me.
(As my problem
is most probably connected to my telephone and internet service
provider in France, it might be that somebody from France reading
these lines could be more likely to help me).
Until last
November I was using a DartyBox. With that, everything worked all
right.
As
I have been a user of TBB for quite some time, I wished to set
up a
relay on my computer, and, as Nicolas (previously from
help-fr)
advised me, I installed the tor package from Debian, had it
configured, and my tor relay obviously worked.
Then my previous
telephone and internet service provider DartyBox wanted to get rid
of
its clients, and I subscribed to become a customer of BouyguesBox.
Unfortunately whereas I haven't changed anything to the
configuration of my computer, my tor relay doesn't work any more!
As
other programs seem no longer to function (e.g. ekiga, jitsi-meet
through chromium), I suspect that there is a problem with the
settings of the firewall on the BouyguesBox that will not allow
the relay to get in touch with the outside world...?
When "the
firewall contains no rule", "as a standard settings the box
blocks all unwanted traffic", says the BouguesBox. However
that's also what the DartyBox said in the past, but that one did
let
through enough traffic in order for me to be able to take part in
a
Jitsi.meet conference !
So I don't really understand what is
missing or lacking with the present BouyguesBox.
Does anyone among
those of you based in France think that they could make any
suggestions as to how I could solve this problem?
Especially which
configuration of the firewall I should try and how to design, i.e.
right, the rules governing the firewall.
Thank you very much
in advance for your support.
