Unable to get tor working on GCP - Advice on debugging.
by Colin Rice 25 Jan '17

25 Jan '17

Hi, I'm running tor on GCP (google cloud platform) and I have the oddest problem. I reliably can't access any websites or hidden services (i.e. google.com or my hidden service). i.e. the following fails. colin@tor-bouncer:~$ curl -x socks5://127.0.0.1:9050 google.com -m 30 curl: (7) Failed to receive SOCKS5 connect request ack Some random information which may be useful. colin@tor-bouncer:~$ tor --version Tor version 0.2.7.6 (git-605ae665009853bd). sudo ss -plnt State Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address:Port Peer Address:Port LISTEN 0 128 *:5355 *:* users:(("systemd-resolve",pid=1166,fd=14)) LISTEN 0 128 *:22 *:* users:(("sshd",pid=1464,fd=3)) LISTEN 0 128 127.0.0.1:9050 *:* users:(("tor",pid=23442,fd=6)) For reference, I've attached a debug log of an attempt. Any advice on how to go about debugging this?

Advertise Tor bridge on port 80
by Maxxer 22 Jan '17

Hi. I'm currently running a Tor bridge on port 80 (for personal purposes, luckily no real needs). From what I can see in the obfs debug there's no connection other than mine, probably because the bridge is not (correctly) advertised on the Tor network (I guess). I'm running it with a hack, because I couldn't find a better way to o so. Time ago I found an answer on SO [1] which explained how to run a bridge on port 80 via iptables rules, and that's what I do and works fine. But since the Bridge is online it's a shame others cannot benefit from it. This is my configuration: RelayBandwidthRate 900 KB RelayBandwidthBurst 1 MB ExitPolicy reject *:* # no exits allowed DisableDebuggerAttachment 0 SocksPort 0 ORPort 2000 ExtORPort auto BridgeRelay 1 ServerTransportListenAddr obfs3 0.0.0.0:8099 ServerTransportPlugin obfs3 proxy public_ip:80 When started Tor reports the ORPort as reachable, but that's not the obfuscated port. I guess many people can benefit from using a Bridge on port 80. So two questions: 1) is there a non hack-ish way to run a bridge on port 80? 2) how can I advertise the bridge on port 80?
