Any fix? I did follow instructions.

Hi @Loloman2,

You can try to test Nipe again? I think this is resolved with the lasted commit.

Thx

I'm facing the same issue @GouveaHeitor in my Manjaro 20.0 while I typed "sudo perl nipe.pl status".
can you help?

[htrgouvea]

Hi @supriyo97,
Have you tried to check if you already have rules in iptbles that could cause conflicts?
Use: $ iptables -L

Thx

[supriyo97]

`[sap@DELL-X nipe]$ sudo iptables -L

Fala amigo estou tendo o mesmo problema que os colegas acima, tentei resolver de diversas formas mas não consegui. Estou utilizando o Manjaro 4.6.

Eu dei uma olhada nos arquivos e pensei que o problema poderia ser nas chamados dos diretórios do tor no programa, pelo menos no manjaro, por exemplo existem algumas chamadas em var/lib/tor porem esse patch é inexistente com a instalação padrão do tor.

Quando faço a instalação do tor na versão 0.4.3.5-2 no manjaro o patch dos arquivos fica assim, e as chamadas no programa são em diretórios diferentes, da uma olhada se valer a pena 👍

Gostaria que desse uma olhada, não sei se pode ser isso, mas custa nada checar kk, porque eu não consegui nada kk;

Don't give the status command right after starting nipe....Give it some time to establish a connection to the tor network

[sv0]

I experience this error as well.

There are two possible cases:

1. Nipe is freshly installed using git clone and ./nipe.pl install.
   After that it starts with ./nipe.pl start and works as expected(for the first time only).

2. When you already have nipe installed with required dependencies (tor, iptables) and you start nipe with ./nipe.pl start it can fail in some circumstances.

Case 1

./nipe.pl install command stops Tor system service in Install.pm

So when you run ./nipe.pl start just after that, Tor system service is stopped and new Tor process starts with custom config from .configs directory.

Case 2

You already have Nipe and dependencies installed.

So you usually run ./nipe.pl start to route all traffic through the Tor network.
When you check if it works with ./nipe.pl status, the output is:

 ./nipe.pl status

[!] ERROR: sorry, it was not possible to establish a connection to the server.

It happens because Tor system service is already running and bound on port 9050. It was not stopped as in case with ./nipe install command.

And when you run ./nipe.pl start, Tor process with custom config fails to start.

As a result of that, traffic forwarded to ports 9051 and 9061(DNS via Tor) goes nowhere.

Currently I'm working on this issue and will provide the fixes as soon as possible.

Hi @sv0,

I see that you are writing a lot of new and interesting code!
I would like to remind you to follow the Style Guide we use on Nipe: https://heitorgouvea.me/projects/perl-style-guide

Also, if you want, you can open small PR by solving minor things, so we can keep everything up to date quickly...
Hugs and thanks for the contribution!
