10. If your computer isn't running a webserver, please consider changing your ORPort to 443 and your DirPort to 80. Many Tor users are stuck behind firewalls that only let them browse the web, and this change will let them reach your Tor server. Win32 servers can simply change their ORPort and DirPort directly in their torrc and restart Tor. OS X or Unix servers can't bind directly to these ports (since they don't run as root), so they will need to set up some sort of port forwarding so connections can reach their Tor server. If you are using ports 80 and 443 already but still want to help out, other useful ports are 22, 110, and 143.

yup, they're making it so ISPs can block the traffic coming through Tor by making them go through ports that would make people mad if the ISP shut them off. |
