Hej, [WARNING - if you don't want to see another Tor relay get going stop reading now.] After installing Tor on a VPS running Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS it reports [warn] Your server (173.208.211.179:9030) has not managed to confirm that its DirPort is reachable. Please check your firewalls, ports, address,... The VPS operator is trying his best but says the ports are open and is asking others. In the meantime does anyone have anything to offer? Robert

Hey, usually this problem is due to a wrong set fqdn hostname and hosts file. In /etc/hostname set the hostname: relay.example.com and run the command "hostname relay.example.com" In /etc/hosts change the current hostname 127.0.0.1 current.example.com to: 127.0.0.1 relay.example.com Though this is obvious run end edit with sudo and replace the example with the real hostname.

Sebastian, That's the spirit! To me that feels like the right thinking. In etc/hostname there is just ubuntu. In the details for the VPS the hostname is VM#16 which I can't change there. Therefore what would be correct to put in the etc/hostname file? Is it useful to know that the ip address I PuTTY into is 38.68.15.116 but the one in Tor's log with blocked ports is 173.208.211.179? They traceroute to different places but I can log in through either. Robert

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Robert You should set your Address in /etc/tor/torrc to 38.68.15.116. Your configured DirPort and OrPort seems to work for me. Your hostname should be set in a nameserver though your current one (116-15-68-38-static.reverse.queryfoundry.net) is great. Sebastian

Hi, Robert. I would try setting your VPS IP as the Address value in torrc. -- syn.bsdbox.co

nano, That fixed it thanks nano. I've learned another piece of the Tor puzzle. Robert
