I just set up a VPS on PulseServers as I noticed quite a few running relays had mostly good things to say about the service. So Far the people operating the servers seem very cooperative and responsive. Anyway I've been running a middle relay for 1.5 years and know the "ropes" pretty well, however a VPS is new to me. After setting up Tor and tor-arm on the VPS I'm not able to connect with this error: unable to reconnect (connection refused. Is the ControlPort Enabled?) I've edited ~/home/.arm/torrc and /etc/tor/torrc un-commenting the ControlPort 9052 and all the other typical ports, etc.. Obviously I'm not able to forward or enable ports on the VPS, so do I need to ask the admin to make some changes?
The arm process needs to be either root's or _tor's (assuming that the tor process uses the _tor user). It's better not to use root, as it's unsafe. So, this will likely work:
sudo -u _tor arm _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
I use debian_tor as my tor group, but I don't think that's the issue. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (MingW32) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJWX6pnAAoJEJQqkaGlFNDPMMwH/2j2BcGprDhSpltVoi2w05Ya ZhltimSyg0LmESJaKNLn76ElHk09ZpYbzCfesA1264UhWo+nixGptM2HhSHOUui4 pYV4Yd0XJ7OX6ZpsrJJQnf5s1gWTT72bDagDbomqO25WaNaQWuXvgDqbrMaRbWlS 3oPQ43QRAnyZgcLCx/0YXuv3gd5/XxQ01tMQc3O0Ac3ItN5ol9K5viL1FdNIgqHl QJHYbEAaMpfKnZWyi4zXn/ekBAt+eTzGswLCdY81+3UwTMZwU807M3H5uYdM6zoD H76oaAOx3KOhTX+/L2MySuzvhr60Udv78exTkWbaPz8B1WQxGExjvlEh+SMxClI= =rBwb -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
