custom torrc setting #9

Closed lollita closed 6 months ago

lollita commented 7 months ago

Do it is possible to add custom setting in torrc? When I try it delete it after apply in control panel setting.

Do you can use .\ instead full path in torrc?

Yes, you can add a custom setting to the torrc file, but the options that can be configured over TCP will be overwritten before starting tor to avoid desynchronization of settings in the GUI and the torrc file.

It is possible to use relative paths, but tor does not like them and writes messages at startup: [warn] Path for DataDirectory (.\Data\User) is relative and will resolve to D:\TCP\Data\User. Is this what you wanted?

Therefore, it was decided not to use them in the torrc file. Before each launch, the paths in the torrc file are replaced with the correct ones if you moved the TCP directory to another location.

ExitPolicy reject : is deleted but not like as be configured over TCP.

ExitPolicy is used in Exit relay server mode to set a Custom ExitPolicy When using the Bridge (BridgeRelay 1) or Relay (ExitRelay 0) server mode, tor automatically adds: ExitPolicy reject *:*, so there is no need to add this line to the torrc file. In client mode (tor's default mode), this setting is ignored and has no effect.
