This doesn't require additional configuration, by default the ControlPort will bind to 127.0.0.1 on the local loopback interface and as such it will only be accessible through the localhost. You shou …

The update should be within an hour, when you restart Tor it will republish your relays descriptor to the DirAuths and then the updated descriptor will be redistributed with the next consensus, which happens …

To defeat an attacker who is eavesdropping from your router you don't need to run a relay, you just need to use Tor as a client. They'd only see already encrypted traffic leaving the network. Running …

You or someone else has run malicious relays from your IP or IP range in the past, and you're blacklisted for it. … You should contact bad-relays@lists.torproject.org to find out more and see about resolving it. …

Check any local firewall or packet filters allow inbound traffic on port 443. If you're behind a NAT device (e.g. you connect from a private IP address like 192.168.100.2 to some router like 192.168. …

For most of the traffic you contribute to the network, you probably will not be being directly connected to by clients, but rather other relays which shouldn't have any problem talking to whichever port …

The bwauth's do indeed need some work, there have been problems of relays not gaining measurements due to overloaded bw-auths, there is also a problem in that measurement of relays that are geographically …

There are exceptions like the CMU snitch attack where they did stunt hacking to seem cool infront of their hacker friends and in the process sold out a bunch of people out to law enforcment agencies …
