Hi,
I installed tor browser bundle and I want to use vidalia to set up a tor exit node with my computer.
However, I have problem in port forwarding, my computer is inside an institute, and I'm not clear about the firewall setting.
Is there any method for me to check the firewall setting and make a hole on it?
thanks!

Do you have an internal address (192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x or the other range) or an external address? My relay has an internal address; you connect to it on port 110 (usually used for fetching mail), and my router forwards it to another port. If you have an external address, but are behind a firewall, try the following:
On your computer: $nc -lp 3355
On a computer outside your institute that you have access to: $telnet primer.example.com 3355
You should get "Connected to primer.example.com", and anything you type on the outside box should appear on yours, and vice versa. If not, try another port.
If you have only internal addresses, you'll have to ask whoever runs the firewall to forward a port to you.

Hi, thanks for the instruction. I'm using an external IP, not a private one
I think nc -lp is used for listening on a specified port, however, on my machine I tried ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- bash-4.2$ nc -l -p 3355 usage: nc [-46CDdhklnrStUuvz] [-I length] [-i interval] [-O length] [-P proxy_username] [-p source_port] [-s source] [-T ToS] [-V rtable] [-w timeout] [-X proxy_protocol] [-x proxy_address[:port]] [destination] [port]
bash-4.2$ nc -lp 3355 usage: nc [-46CDdhklnrStUuvz] [-I length] [-i interval] [-O length] [-P proxy_username] [-p source_port] [-s source] [-T ToS] [-V rtable] [-w timeout] [-X proxy_protocol] [-x proxy_address[:port]] [destination] [port] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
it seems that this command doesn't work
I have no idea on "primer.example.com" and I cant open it in browser can you explain it a bit? thanks!

try "nc -l 3355". I ran nc on DragonFly with "-lp". On Linux I get "This is nc from the netcat-openbsd package. An alternative nc is available in the netcat- traditional package." and it doesn't like "-lp". The number 3355 is an example; try various numbers.
I have no idea on "primer.example.com" and I cant open it in browser can you explain it a bit? thanks!
example.com is used as an example of a hostname or domain name. I have no idea what your Tor box's name is, so I used primer.example.com. ("primer" is Slavic for "example".)
