However, that doesn't appear to have made any difference either. For some reason the reachability tests are still insisting on trying to connect to .102.
Tor should only fall back to using an interface address when it fails to parse the Address torrc option. So you may have found a bug in the tor function resolve_my_address(). (Tor should also probably pay attention to the address in the ORPort line when testing reachability, but that's a separate issue.)
Can you please choose a tor instance with this issue, and provide: * The exact Address, ORPort and DirPort lines (or the entire torrc, if you're able) * The debug-level log output for the first and second calls to resolve_my_address() * there will be a lot of output here, and it can reveal sensitive info - don't leave debug logging on all the time!
