I wanted to do my part in helping the TOR network grow, so I've started a tor relay on a debian system. After running for a while and monitoring on Nyx, and checking Relay Search I've notice my link says "Offline".
IPv6 address discovery is the main pittfall. https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-relays/2020-July/018748.html
Since tor 0.4.4.x series, I write the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses _everywhere_ in the config with the ports. (Address, OutboundBindAddress, ORPort) I don't have any IPv4 only relays, try using: ORPort <privat.IPv4.address>:9001 NoAdvertise I'm not sure if that is also possible: ORPort 9001 NoAdvertise,IPv4Only
Address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (static public ip) DirPort 9030 NoAdvertise DirPort xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9030 NoListen (static public ip) ORPort 9001 NoAdvertise
^^^^^^^^^ ORPort <privat.IPv4>:9001 NoAdvertise
ORPort xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9001 NoListen (static public ip)
Also configured Port Forwarding on my router for 9001 and 9030 to the private IPv4 address on the tor relay.
For dual stack you have to do it for IPv4 and IPv6.
Have not configured 9001 and 9030 to open in linux, are they by default?
By default, no netfilter / iptables are created on a Debian system for IPv4 and IPv6. That means everything is open and forwarding is disabled.
