Hi
I have more than one ip address in a server - I want to assign a new ip to a current relay that I am running. The new ip is correctly setup on my ubuntu server so i know thats ok
In order to make the relay use the new ip I added Address <New IP Address> to the torrc file and restarted tor - this did seem to work and tor detectedthe new address and started to use it but then I got a number of warnings like 'Remote server sent bogus reason code'
The relay does seem to be working but with these errors im not sure - is the method above how you should assign a particular IP address to a Tor relay?
Thanks for any advice

Those warnings are scary-sounding but not dangerous: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/20307

It depends what you're trying to do. If your server has one primary IP address but you want to be running your Tor relay on a different one, then you probably want to set both Address and OutboundBindAddress. You may also wish to specify an IP address in your ORPort line, to bind your listeners to one or some but not all of your IP addresses -- but if you don't care there's no need to do that.

Hi Thanks for the reply - exit node is all up and running along with 6 relays so all happy here - I decided just to keep the main IP
One thing I did have was the DirFrontpage parameter in the torrc file was badly formed so I commented it out but was wondering if anyone else had that issue? It looks fine to me from what i can see in the sample file
Cheers

Thanks for running relays!

Can you clarify what you mean by badly formed?
Basically that option takes a file and serves it out of the DirPort when people ask for the root ("/").
So if the file that gets served is badly formed in your browser, then consider fixing the file. Whereas if it can't find the file, then consider pointing it at a file that really exists. :)
Hope that helps, --Roger
Hi
Thanks ;-) As for the 'DirFrontPAge' the error is below
Nov 29 09:52:55.000 [warn] Failed to parse/validate config: Unknown option 'DirFrontPage'. Failing. Nov 29 09:52:55.000 [err] Reading config failed--see warnings above. For usage, try -h. Nov 29 09:52:55.000 [warn] Restart failed (config error?). Exiting.
the setting is
DirPort 80 DirFrontPage /etc/tor/tor-exit-notice.html ExitPolicy accept *:20-21 # FTP - File Transfer Protocol (data / control) etc
the html page is working fine so its not that - it looks like DirFrontPAge is an unknown option?
any thoughts?
cheers
Mark

What is DirFrontPage supposed to be? The manpage only mentions a DirPortFrontPage.
Hi
Its on a number of setup guides for an exit relay whereby if someone looks up your ip and port 80 they will see this webpage - its designed to reduce DMCA notices and accusations against someone running an exit - I've attached the actual page
https://blog.torproject.org/running-exit-node https://tor-relay.co/
Perhaps this option no longer exists as I use the most up to date versions of tor (0.2.8.9) at the moment - I run on ports 443 and 80
cheers
