I have been trying to test it out, I've changed the ORPort and DirPort and forwarded them on the router but I keep getting the following messages.

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ tail -f /var/log/tor/logled--see warnings above.
tail: cannot open `/var/log/tor/log' for reading: No such file or directory
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo service tor restart
[ ok ] Stopping tor daemon...done (not running - there is no /var/run/tor/tor.pid).

failed.

How do I get it working and is it even advisable?

@Lizbeth I tried to change sockport to 0 and this the error I get

  • Is a different process listening on port 9050? – user66 Jun 9 '15 at 12:02
  • Im sorry but Im a bit of a noob. Do you mean on the client than no. I followed the exact same steps to set up my first one just changed the OR and Directports and forwarded those on the router. This are the instructions i followed on a fresh raspbian image running headless and updated. devconsole.info/?p=879 works perfect for the first on but not the second one. – Hani Umer Jun 9 '15 at 15:28

You can run as many of them as you wish : they're not interfering to each other. To ensure proper speed and connectivity make sure they have been separated by external IP's, that's it.

  • "The same LAN" means the same IP address. You can only run 2 relays on the same IP, any others will be ignored. Read the question, provide accurate information. – SuperSluether Jun 5 '16 at 22:34

    @supersluether same one LAN can have a multi home router to contact outer world. Please read my answer and take a look at external IP part – Alexey Vesnin♦ Jun 6 '16 at 0:28

You've changed ORport and DirPort but you haven't changed SOCKSport. By default it listens on port 9050/TCP so you'll need to change this. I recommending setting it to 0 to disable it completely.

  • Im sure I tried that yesterday. Im certain I did change it to 9051 or something to make it different. I will try again in a few hours to be sure and post if it still has the same problems. – Hani Umer Jun 10 '15 at 16:25
  • Still get an error Ive edited the question – Hani Umer Jun 10 '15 at 16:59

    "Unknown option 'SockPort'." <-- that is (was?) your typo. It should be SocksPort not SockPort (missing s between k and p) – Jobiwan Aug 9 '15 at 19:01
