RetroShare

[AngelOfDeath]

For network mode, I can only choose between Discovery enabled (recommended) and Discovery disabled. I left it on the default setting which is the former. I did forward my port on my router and allowed it in my firewall. Anyway thanks a lot for trying to help ! Maybe I will ask the devs.

Are you using Tor?

I'm on Linux, so I see it like this: https://www.likera.com/forum/mybb/Thread...4#pid44044

Yes, I'm using Tor. When I created my node, I had 3 options : the first one to create a normal node, the second one to create a tor node configured automatically, the third one to configure a tor or i2p node manually. I picked the 2nd option. I'm also on Linux, using version 0.6.5 of Retroshare.

Hello,



my problem is that i can't connect to other people in rs, no matter what i do.
When i try to add a friend, it says behind NAT & no DHT.



o- What RS version are you running? 0.6.5? Windows/UNIX?

v 0.6.9999 on Ubuntu from the repository (tried other versions in the past)

o- If not or UNIX, is Tor running?

Tor service is running, checked with systemctl status tor

o- If yes, on which port?
all network connections

I configured my retroshare account with an automatic hidden service,  so:
outgoing: 127.0.0.1:38299
incoming:
  127.0.0.1:7934
  xxxxxxx.onion:xxxx




o- Preferences -> Network -- Local address - External address -- any green lights?
[Hidden Mode] is green

o- Preferences -> Network -> Hidden Service Configuration -> Outgoing Manual Tor -- Tor outgoing Okay green?
Tor outgoing is green

o- Preferences -> Network -> Hidden Service Configuration -> Outgoing Manual Tor -> Tor Socks Proxy -- Are IP_address and Port correct?
127.0.0.1:38299 -> should be correct

o- Preferences -> Network -> Hidden Service Configuration -> Incoming -- incoming ok green?
Incoming is green

o- Preferences -> Network -> Network Configuration -- what Network mode is set to?
Discovery on (recommended)

o- If Public is DHT green at the bottom of the window?
There's only a green onion (Tor ok) where normally the NAT/DHT icons are.

Same happens with the Windows version (portable with tor)

When i try the windows version without a hidden service, i get a green DHT and yellow NAT(behind firewall) but still can't connect to anyone. (UPnP is grey)
-> also tried to deactivate windows & router firewall

I have a cable router without the option to forward ports (because of IPv6 i guess)

Can someone think of a possible fix?

Are you running 4 tor processes? You need only one.

If it's this one: 127.0.0.1:9150 (check torrc file for the SOCKS port), you should put it in Preferences -> Network -> Hidden Service Configuration -> Outgoing Manual Tor.I2P -> Tor SOCKS Proxy

The original tutorial from 8ch (the only issue is that the "Hypnosis Keyserver" is mostly down):

I could not access http://scwmwsig5mvoyz32.onion/ is there a new address for it?

You have to add the certificates only and get your cert added by others. You do not need to sign the keys.

Wonderfulll thanks ^^

Yep, people do not stay online. The remedies are
- to keep the certs up to date
- stay online 24x7
- to have peers that stay online 24x7
