Tor On Private Network

Thu May 8 00:48:57 UTC 2008

I tried setting localhost as the DNS and it might have worked. Tor no
longer exists because the DNS resolving configuration is broken, but
watch what happens. Just for reference, my private network consists of
three servers who are each set up to be Auth Dir and exit servers and
inherently trust eachother. They are on 169.254.46.12*, this computer
is .125. At some point, Tor realizes that my DNS entry is fake but
thinks that the DNS server is hijacking requests.

Jan 18 15:41:06.054 [notice] Tor v0.1.2.19. This is experimental
software. Do not rely on it for strong anonymity.

Jan 18 15:41:06.077 [notice] Your ContactInfo config option is not
set. Please consider setting it, so we can contact you if your server
is misconfigured or something else goes wrong.

Jan 18 15:41:06.079 [warn] You have used DirServer to specify
directory authorities in your configuration. This is potentially
dangerous: it can make you look different from all other Tor users,
and hurt your anonymity. Even if you've specified the same authorities
as Tor uses by default, the defaults could change in the future. Be
sure you know what you're doing.

Jan 18 15:41:06.080 [notice] Enabling experimental OS X kqueue support
with libevent 1.3e. If this turns out to not work, set the environment
variable EVENT_NOKQUEUE, and tell the Tor developers.

Jan 18 15:41:06.082 [notice] Initialized libevent version 1.3e using
method kqueue. Good.

Sorry for the incredibly long, detailed log but I wanted there to be
sure there was enough information.

My questions are:

1. Does it matter that Tor thinks its requests are being hijacked?
(Since I know I can trust the servers)

2. How come it says it can't get any network status documents?

3. What next?

Any help is appreciated,
