Asuswrt-Merlin uses /tmp/torrc by default.I've incorrectly run it - I needed to provide a 'torrc' file as an $1 input.
Anyway, now I have 2 'torrc' files (/tmp/torrc & /tmp/tor/torrc), both are the same, attaching them as well.
Asuswrt-Merlin uses Tor (capital T) by default.Now, I've run 'service restart_tor' command, but I can't find the tor process when I run 'ps | grep tor', nor I can see any files under /tmp/tor/torrc.d/ and there is no download/upload traffic, so I would guess tor doesn't work.
I've found that running Tor manually without the -quiet option helps to validate the torrc. I would also recommend reviewing the /tmp/torlog for errors.What seems to be the problem?
