Needing to have all traffic forwarded in AWS server in order to have bridge working. What ports do i need to forward exactly?

Support Relay Operator

Hello friends;

I recently began running a relay bridge in a AWS machine. My torrc conf’s using ports 33652 and 44652 which are working fine when forwarded. My problem is, when i leave only these ports open for incoming connections, the server will stop responding and i’ll have this error in my log:

Aug 16 01:20:53.000 [notice] Failed to find node for hop #1 of our path. Discarding this circuit.
Aug 16 01:20:53.000 [notice] Our circuit 0 (id: 130) died due to an invalid selected path, purpose General-purpose client. This may be a torrc configuration issue, or a bug.

Aug 16 02:02:39.000 [notice] Failed to find node for hop #1 of our path. Discarding this circuit.

I just manage to get it working by forwarding “All traffic”, like this:

So my question is, what ports exactly do i need for tor bridge to work properly?

Whatever is the problem don’t fix it. Bandwidth is to expensive on AWS for hosting a Relay.

I did a fast calculation and you can pay 460$ monhtly for 5TB but if you are lucky you can have 10TB of traffic
I recomend stop your AWS VPS and chose a VPS (or more) from this list

Actually it’s just a bridge in aws free tier with budget limit. No big deal probably.

But thanks for the tip!
