When ORPort is set to 'auto', Tor automatically allocates a port for it. During it's first run, we able to extract the port number and open the firewall port. However, unlike for pluggable transports, Tor does not seem to store this port for future reuse in the state file. It hence opens a new port every time it is started. This leads to a new port being assigned on next Tor startup and leads to relay functionality not being reachable from outside. According to the documentation, only possible values for ORPort are a fixed number or 0 (disable) or auto (current behavior). Choose 9001 as this is the commonly used port number for ORPort. The recommended port number of 443 is not possible in FreedomBox due it is use for other purposes. Closes: #1495.

FreedomBox Service (Plinth)
The core functionality and web front-end of FreedomBox.
Description
FreedomBox is a community project to develop, design and promote personal servers running free software for private, personal communications. It is a networking appliance designed to allow interfacing with the rest of the Internet under conditions of protected privacy and data security. It hosts applications such as blog, wiki, website, social network, email, web proxy and a Tor relay, on a device that can replace your Wi-Fi router, so that your data stays with you.
This module, called FreedomBox Service and also know as Plinth, is the core functionality and web interface to the functions of the FreedomBox. It is extensible and provides various applications of FreedomBox as modules. Each module or application provides simplified user interface to control the underlying functionality. As FreedomBox can act as a wireless router, it is possible to configure networking. It also allows configuration of basic system parameters such as time zone, hostname and automatic upgrades.
You can find more information about FreedomBox Service (Plinth) on the Plinth Wiki page, the FreedomBox Wiki and the FreedomBox Manual.
