I once used OM's TorIP module to get the dynamic IP address of my home
network, but the Tor entry node no longer tells my OM at home its public
address. With Tor-Cmd-Info "IP Address" the Tor log list always shows
"551 Address unknown".

What's the reason why Tor's "GETINFO ADDRESS" command no longer works?
Is it no longer supported for security reasons, or is it just a problem
with my ISP?

It's a Tor bug in version 0.4.5.10.

With OM 2.6.0+ I had to replace tor\tor.exe with the 0.4.4.5 version
from OM 2.5.1 or use the Tor executable version 0.4.4.6 from
<https://archive.torproject.org/tor-package-archive/torbrowser/10.0.7/tor-win32-0.4.4.6.zip>.
The newer .dll files are compatible with the tor.exe replacement.

After a Tor restart it takes up to 20 minutes to get the WAN IP address,
with all tor\data\cached-* files deleted in advance restart takes a
little longer, but afterwards the IP address and thereby the TorIP
service are immediately available.

Speaking for myself I never had any problem with this. My onion
address was always accessible over Tor whenever I tried it.
Works quite well for a webserver and the occasional file U/D/L.
Going to try it for RDP or VNC next.

You get an IP Address at Tor/Data with OM 2.6.3 / Tor 0.4.5.10?

Haven't upgraded to 2.6.3 yet, still at 2.6.2, no IP Address.
Think I noticed the absence of the IP Address at 2.6.0 maybe. I
don't have problems remotely accessing services using my V3
onion address.

Upgraded to 2.6.3. I'll send this using the V3 onion address.

Yep. OmniMix uses the buggy Tor version 0.4.5.10 since v2.6.0.

>I don't have problems remotely accessing services using my V3
>onion address.

Sure. The TorIP .onion connection works, but it can't tell you the IP
address of the network, where your OmniMix resides, which you need to
finally establish a fast non-Tor VPN connection. I think it's a great
idea to use OmniMix and Tor as a Dynamic DNS service without having to
depend on any further provider.

Posted okay via V3 onion address, it's not a fast post - 36
chunks, but it's reliable.

Still no IP Address, 0.0.0.0.
16:47:14.777 250 SocksPort=127.0.0.1:9054 IsolateDestAddr
IsolateDestPort
16:47:14.784 250 ControlPort=9055
16:47:14.785 551 Address unknown
This may just be a cosmetic issue as it doesn't seem to be
affecting operation.
It's been working fine for document downloads since the upgrade.
I'll send this reply via OmniMix V3 onion again.

Good luck.

don't you make the vpn connection first and then start omnimix?
that's how i do it and it seems to work ok. mayb tor browser
has a similar problem because i have noticed it slower lately.

Let me explain what TorIP means.

I'm here at home not knowing the current (dynamic) IP address of my
office network I like to connect with. But at my office computer I have
OmniMix installed autostarting with Windows. And that OmniMix offers
the TorIP service, which means my OmniMix at home connects with the
office OM's TorIP .onion address and downloads a website containing the
IP address from there. Now knowing the office's WAN address my home
computer finally is able to instantiate a fast non-Tor VPN connection
with the office network, start an RDP session and so on.

thanks. i learned something new. will try it out later if i
can get the work computer to accept omnimix. they have this
crappy thing called carbon black cloud endpoint that blocks a
lot of things, in particular unsigned executables.

I ran across this thread after installing OmniMix 2.6.6. I will
try the procedure later this week. Thanks!
