[tor-relays] port setup

Wed Mar 20 01:23:38 UTC 2013

Hi Stephen and the group,

I think the error mentioned earlier is not significant.

The router says it's firewall setting is running without any protection 
being provided, which means no ports are blocked.

However, when I try to run a relay, it does not work.

Below is the message file, which shows the failure mode.

I do run the ufw firewall, but I disabled it (sudo ufw disable) so the 
ufw firewall shouldn't be blocking any ports either.

I'm at a loss-

I am running Xubuntu 12.10 in a homebuilt (late model) Asus motherboard 
with lots of ram and an FX6100 processor.

Are there any other parameters or settings to look at/check??

(This style of configuration interface allows you to do other, more complex, stuff like, say, forwarding incoming ports 1234-1240 to a block of ports on your PC starting at 7654, for example - you would set Global PortStart to 1234, Global PortEnd to 1240 and Base HostPort to 7654.)
