Re: [tor-relays] Nodes on dynamic IPs don't survive an IP change any more

Hi,

whenever my IP changes, my node stops relaying traffic, and after a few hours I see in the logs [notice] Heartbeat: It seems like we are not in the cached consensus.

In past versions I remember seeing in the logs something like "...your ip seems to have changed...", followed by a new "...publishing server descriptor...", as far as I remember.

Now I have to monitor my ip, and restart Tor whenever it changes. Wouldn't it be nice to go back to the previous behaviour?

Solved. Every minute a crontab job checks wether the public ip has changed. If it has, Tor is restarted.
