    Question How to set up a Tor Relay when using a vpn ??

    All is in the title. I use a vpn, witch allows me to forward some TCP ports, says 24532 and 31475. My router has IP 192.168.1.10 and my PC, 192.168.1.11.

    This vpn when running gives me some gateway IP, and some interface IP. More precisely, when I perform netstat -R, the first line is:

    Code:
    Destination: 0.0.0.0
    Mask: 0.0.0.0
    Gateway: 10.2.3.4
    Interface 10.2.3.15
    Metrix: 10
    This interface IP est declared as my "internal IP adddress" by some "whatsmyip" online sites.


    I want to try to be a tor relay (and preferably, at least the beginning, a Tor bridge), and absolutely not a Tor exit node. For being a Tor Bridge, Vidalia uses the default port 443 (named "relay port" in vidalia).

    As upnp doesn't work, I have to correctly map the correct ports tho the correct IPs in my router. So, I must fill the service (eg TorBridge ), the protocol (TCP), the "internal port", the "external port", and the "server address"

    All the times in the past I have forwarded some ports, eg for eMule, things was simple: The server address was my' PC's IP, and the internal and external IPs was the same, chosen by me.


    In the present case, things seem more complicated. Could someone explain to me, with simple words, how I have to map these ports (and witch ports exactly) in the two different case (Tor Bridge and Tor relay inside tor network).

    This is even more difficult for me as for some unknown reason, Vidalia appears very badly on my screen, and the letters are almost unreadable.
    (Concerning the explanation about Tor Relay, I can absolutely not read what I have to do, only guess what it's written).

    Thanks !

    If your router supports UPnP, Tor can do the hard work for you. Check this out:
    https://www.sesawe.net/Setting-up-a-Tor-Bridge.html

    You can guide yourself with the screenshots, as you've mentioned the UI is unreadable in your system. You should also forward port 443 and the directory one (as I don't use Tor, I don't know if it's always 9030 as in the pic, or if it varies) in your VPN as well, of course.
