How to run Tor bridge on Xbian? Socket creation failed: Address family not supported
Hello,
on RPi4 + Xbian with 5.15.92+ after Code: sudo apt-get install tor obfs4proxy Quote:root@xbian ~ # grep -v "#" /etc/default/tor|grep . Quote:root@xbian ~ # grep -v "#" /etc/tor/torrc|grep . I had Tor already installed, it is used by one app (but tor process is not running per "ps") already had first 4 torrc config. file lines (shown above). Quote:root@xbian ~ # /etc/init.d/tor restart I expect that RUN_DAEMON="yes" make sure Tor starts at boot. But how do i restart it without reboot and make it working without above error, please? |

I'm sorry, I'm completely out of my depth here.
I have never dealt with tor more closely |

Try disabling IPv6 and starting, I'm not finding anything else related to this error but it doesn't specifically list IPv6.

(30th Mar, 2023 06:08 PM)f1vefour Wrote: Try disabling IPv6Xbian is using IPv6? Since i am unable to find it in "ifconfig" output and "ip -6 a" output is empty. Maybe my attempt to disable it in custom sysctl file worked or it was never active: Code: # echo -e "net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1\nnet.ipv6.conf.eth0.disable_ipv6 = 1"|sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.d/70-disable-ipv6.conf && sudo sysctl -p -f /etc/sysctl.d/70-disable-ipv6.conf but anyway that not helped to make tor start (/etc/init.d/tor restart) - shows that failure from the bottom of my first/initial post.. Uncommenting these torrc lines cause it: #BridgeRelay 1 #ORPort anyportnumberhere |

BridgeRelay? This rings alarm bells for me after all
Should this really have something to do with a bridge, i.e. if the bridge modules are also used, then ipv6 is definitely required. XBian disabled ipv6 by default. So that could be somehow related to it |

Per your post http://forum.xbian.org/thread-4094-post-36676.html#pid36676 (topic "[PROBLEM] IPv6 disabled?") i have found that i need to comment out line in ipv6.conf file. This is how the file look like after change: cat /etc/modprobe.d/ipv6.conf Code: # Don't load ipv6 by default I have then tried various network restart commands that failed (in attempt to apply the change), but anyway found out "ifconfig" now shows inet6 and tor service started WITHOUT PROBLEM: /etc/init.d/tor restart SOLVED, thank you ![]() ![]() |

I have forwarded port on router to my LAN computer (Xbian) static IP already. Router firewall is off, LAN computer (Xbian) firewall is empty and ACCEPT policy. Does Xbian support OBFS4 transport protocol or anything regarding networking is needed to be changed? Quote:netstat -tulnp|grep -i tor |

I can only repeat myself:
I have no idea at all, but maybe it is just a configuration problem. but that is just a guess Otherwise I don't know what you could configure on system level I think that you would expect much better help in tor forums. |

To do so, you can follow these steps: Install Tor =>Configure Tor as a bridge =>Install obfs4proxy =>start Tor =>Register and test your bridge. contexto
