Re: [tor-relays] New to Tor Relay, using Rasberry Pi3. Grateful for Help - tor-relays

27 Oct 2018

      HI Matt and Felix.
Thank you so much for the guidance.  Matt you are right, I never really asked a question, but I think you have helped steer me in the right direction.
Alex:  Yes...typo on ORport....will fix that.
Log file:  Yes, it is in the right location, but crazily just stops....clean stop!
Also, I went back and seriously studied the relay page.  The RaspPi part is a bit confusing especially now, if Pi3 are not a problem, why does it state there is a problem?.  But I understand wtih Pi3, more Debian items (TOR) are stable
I will add to my source list Debian location which should allow me to update to the latest stable TOR on Debian.  Can I have more than one source in the sourcelist?
I had another question about the gg2g key thingy...I can't find the exact place in the Tor website.  Wasn't sure where to do apt-get "?what?"
Give me a couple of days to get back to you on my progress.  Regarding the other question asked...yes, I restated like you posted.  In next update, I will provide terminal window information.
Thanks and best regards,
Judd

Hi Judge
The torrc shows 'ORPORT' instead of 'ORPort'.
I remember some issues with case sensitive torrc entries.
Can you try 'ORPort' ?
SocksPort 0
Log notice file /var/log/tor/notices.log
RunAsDaemon 1
ORPORT 9001
DirPort 9030
ExitPolicy reject *.*
RelayBandwidthRate 200 KB
RelayBandwidthBurst 400KB
-> ORPort 9001
PS: *Lebowski1* how cool!

Thanks for running a relay!

You never actually asked a question so I can only guess what you're
problem is and what you're looking for help on.

In short, see Tor's official relay guide:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TorRelayGuide

# Version

0.2.9.15 is part of the LTS release series and is an okay version to be
running. If you're looking for a newer version of Tor, you'll need to
add the Tor Project Debian repos.
https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en#ubuntu Note that I'm only
pretty sure the tor you'll get from there will work on rpi 3. Read the
warnings on the page.

# Am I running a relay correctly?

Your torrc looks correct for running a non-exit relay. The logs you
shared don't have the lines that I'd expect for any type of relay. Is
your torrc located at /etc/tor/torrc? Did you start Tor via systemd like
'sudo systemctl restart tor' or from the command line manually?

Hope that helps.

Matt
