Setup Tor Reverse DNS

Support Relay Operator
1

Hello,
I have correctly indicated on the Reverse DNS page of my host: tor-exit-(relayname).org

But still nothing on my relay page, still “none”.

I wonder if I should do something more

Do I have to buy a domain name just to put it in Reverse? I don’t understand this system

You can use this to check if the reverse DNS record has been registered.
Note that sometimes rDNS providers won’t accept a record which isn’t linked to a working DNS one. That means you should:

  • own the domain
  • register a regular DNS record (aka A/AAAA record) to the relay’s IP (use this to check)
  • lastly, add the rDNS record (aka PTR record) to the hostname you decided to use

What exactly do you mean by this?

If you are on Linux, what does host 1.2.3.4 give you back, when 1.2.3.4 is the IP of your server.
