Done. I expect to get a chance to test the settings in the next 24 hours.

So far the logs show nothing unusual, but I
noticed that the ssh connection gets unresponsive
from time to time.

I did a few pings with "interesting" results:

[fk@tor ~]$ ping 10.0.0.1 | grep 'time=3D[^0]'
64 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=3D25 ttl=3D64 time=3D1.104 ms

10.0.0.1 is on lo1, 81.169.155.246 is on fxp0, both
are filtered with pf. lo0 is skipped. The pings were run
locally while tor was running, the usual ping response times
are below 0.2 ms.

I get even more obscene ping times if I ping
from home, but my net connection isn't the best.
I'd appreciate if someone with a reliable net
connection could confirm the weirdness.

Thanks for your time, Robert, I hope to have real
information by tomorrow.

Fabian
