Re: Tor

Post by pbix »

Yesterday I did a make FULL_BUILD=1 and loaded the resulting image on my Buffalo wzr-hp300nh. Then I restored my settings and went looking for the tor functionality when I did not see the promised controls on the login screen.

Found the tor web page and found tor set to "Enabled, Toggled by each host". Tried to set it to disabled but the "Please wait while settings are applied" dialog came up and never went away. Refreshed and found no change to the settings. Tried just pressing "Save changes' with the same result.

Then I opened up a command shell, cd /etc/init.d and ran "./tor restart". The below was output.

Code: Select all


root@Gargoyle:/etc/init.d# ./tor restart
uci: Entry not found

Dec 03 16:08:48.505 [warn] ControlPort is open, but no authentication method has been configured.  This means that any program on your computer can reconfigure your Tor.  That's bad!  You should upgrade your Tor controller as soon as possible.

it seems that the script is looking for variables that may not be there after a restore. I would think that unless this is explicitly enabled it should be disabled by default.

I've found a bug with Tor and the GUI on my RSpro

I you enable Tor it works. If you then decide to toggle "Protocols not used by Tor:" (doesn't matter which direction) say "Ignore" to "Block" Tor will fail. (I was clicking "save" after the toggle)

I cant see Tor on login screen

also I have problem when I change Enabled, Toggled By Each Host to Enabled For all Host and when I press Save change than message Please wait stays for long time and nothings happen.

It is problem that I used configuration from 1.5.0 to 1.5.1?

Are you using a supported router?

Sounds like mates has the same issue I had and reported above.

SSH into your router and run /etc/init.d/tor restart for the command line and see the errors.

Tor seems to need a little more work.

I actually don't think this is a problem with Tor, but rather the backup restore system. I think the Tor config file is getting erased when performing the restoration from backup, and this is leading to this strange behavior.

I will try later today to reset settings and make settings manualy (without using restore). I will inform you later today or tommorow from work.
