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 ************************************************************ Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2018 21:31:57 +0200 From: Felix <zwiebel@quantentunnel.de> To: tor-relays@lists.torproject.org Subject: Re: [tor-relays] New to Tor Relay, using Rasberry Pi3.     Grateful for Help Message-ID: <5BD36BAD.4010005@quantentunnel.de> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Hi Judge The torrc shows 'ORPORT' instead of 'ORPort'.

Good evening, thanks for taking the time to help me.

I am fairly new to Pi, Linux/Raspbian, and TOR.  But I believe in what TOR stands for so I wanted to do something with the Pi I had sitting around.

Appreciate any help.  And by the way, i did go back and look through the archives over the last several months and didn't find a solution.

Best regards,

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.
