ORPort line has address but no port

Hello,

at i have followed instruction at Tor Project | Debian / Ubuntu to:

Edit your Tor config file, usually located at /etc/tor/torrc and replace its content …

adjusted values to be:

# grep -v “#” /etc/tor/torrc|grep .

BridgeRelay 1
ORPort 9xxx4
ServerTransportPlugin obfs4 exec /usr/bin/obfs4proxy
ServerTransportListenAddr obfs4 0.0.0.0:9xxx5
ExtORPort auto
ContactInfo xxx@xxx.xx
Nickname x.x-x

# journalctl -e -u tor@default

[warn] ORPort line has address but no port
[warn] Failed to parse/validate config: Invalid ORPort configuration
[err] Reading config failed–see warnings above.

Tor 0.4.7.11 running on Linux with Libevent 2.1.12-stable, OpenSSL 1.1.1n, Zlib 1.2.11, Liblzma 5.2.5, Libzstd 1.4.8 and Glibc 2.31 as libc.

How to change torrc please? My aim is to run obfs bridge.

UPDATE: i have changed port to be upper 4 digit instead of 5. And that worked (after fixing nickname to be like alphanumeric only 1-19 chars.). Anyone can commit change which would better describe in torrc on which port range to use and that nickname must be alphanumeric 1-19 chars.)? The error message is apparently wrong too. It should tell something like “Wrong ORPort or no port used”

Port can’t be any number.
It should be in range from 1 to 65535.
I agree that it is better to specify range in documentation.

try ports above 10000 - 65535 and check your router if you can open ports too.
