Hi list members, Iam kinda new to Tor and decided to run a relay and found heavy traffic on my router. No prob, but after reading the documentation and some discussion boards I decided to make internet access possible for people living in censorship and run a bridge on Linux without Vidalia and other x related apps.
I use "Arm" to check the Tor daemon activities.
The bridge runs a few days and I see: flags: no, and there is nearly zero traffic, avg 1.4 Kbs, mostly 0. Arm displays connections and I see some IP addresses, 2 circuits. And often just - nothing. Obviously Tor is running, but Iam afraid that my config isn't useful... How can I check my bridge is really working?
Another question comes up. I use a cable connection to my ISP and they don't change my IP address, until plugging off my modem and wait an hour... I think if my bridge IP address is some day on some black lists, it could be an adventage if my IP address changes, right? If so, what changing time is fine, every day?
Regards
