No worry, I won't try to use these settings on anything connected to the public tor network. I will try out your fix - I'm working with v0.2.7.0-alpha-dev from the git repository now.
In the mean time it looks like I've been successful in bootstrapping a private network without the testing flag, despite everything being on one server (with only a
172.16/12 interface). The directory authorities are voting, the routers are passing the reachability and bandwidth tests, and I can start a client and make requests through it.
I think that just leaves a couple questions for now:
- I know the directory authority's certificate needs to be renewed periodically (looks like 12 months default). Since it asked for a password that is something I need to do manually then send a HUP, correct? Later on I'll try to hack generating a cert with days or hours of time just to see what happens, but would like to know what the correct way to handle it is.
- All of my routers have done the bandwidth tests, but I see this warning on the DAs with each vote:
Apr 22 22:39:41.000 [warn] Consensus with empty bandwidth: G=0 M=5 E=0 D=243 T=248
Is this something that will fill out as the uptime of the instances increase? Or is this something I should look into?
