Good night Chris,

I hope I don't misunderstand your issue, but if you use hibernation, you use a kind of desktop setup, aren't you?

If port forwarding running a firewall and tor on the same machine (that's hibernating) behind a normal router looks tricky by means to verify the config, see my suggestion.

If my assumption is correct, you have to set port forwarding in your router, say port 443 to 9090, and then use the torrc file to let tor listen on port 9090, but to advertise port 443. This makes tor bind to a higher port than 1024 and thus not needing root privileges if you run tor as the default user debian-tor, but lets your machine be available on port 443 although hibernating might be a bad idea for a tor node. ;-) If you use a home ISP with small bandwidth, maybe you'd better be a bridge (sufficient uptime also appreciated).

I hope this could help.

Sincerly,

christian

I am having some problems with tor (version 0.2.3.25-1), I get warnings when it resumes form hibernation: Feb 11 00:00:00.000 [warn] Could not bind to 0.0.0.0:80: Permission denied Feb 11 00:00:00.000 [notice] Opening OR listener on 0.0.0.0:443

Can anyone help?

Does it work when you've just booted your computer?

Tor has already changed to a non-privileged user, but you are trying to bind on ports that only root is allowed to bind on.

Two solutions:

1. Run tor as root (really, a bad idea)
2. Bind to other ports than 80 and 443. Since you are resuming, you are

unlikely to be a stable relay/exit/bridge anyway, so you can basically choose any port you want and just use it for your own traffic only.
