SYNOPSIS
tor-fw-helper [-h|--help] [-T|--test-commandline] [-v|--verbose] [-g|--fetch-public-ip] [-p external port:internal_port]
DESCRIPTION
tor-fw-helper currently supports Apple’s NAT-PMP protocol and the UPnP
standard for TCP port mapping. It is written as the reference implementation of
tor-fw-helper-spec.txt and conforms to that loose plugin API. If your network
supports either NAT-PMP or UPnP, tor-fw-helper will attempt to automatically
map the required TCP ports for Tor’s Or and Dir ports.
OPTIONS
- -h or --help
-
Display help text and exit.
- -v or --verbose
-
Display verbose output.
- -T or --test-commandline
-
Display test information and print the test information in tor-fw-helper.log
- -g or --fetch-public-ip
-
Fetch the the public ip address for each supported NAT helper method.
- -p or --port external_port:internal_port
-
Forward external_port to internal_port. This option can appear more than once.
BUGS
This probably doesn’t run on Windows. That’s not a big issue, since we don’t really want to deal with Windows before October 2010 anyway.
