Have a tor exit running in the US ; fingerprint is
3DE567C1350C0E858C6147AECB06EA9B3EAF3261 and OR address is
71.174.105.126:9001<br>
<br>
Just built and launched the ticket-2667 branch; came up as:<br>
<br>
[notice] Tor 0.4.6.0-alpha-dev running on Linux with Libevent
2.0.21-stable, OpenSSL 1.0.1t, Zlib 1.2.8, Liblzma N/A, Libzstd N/A and
Glibc 2.19 as libc.<br>
<br>
I'll monitor the log notices but feel free to probe to test. Thanks!<br>

friendly relay operators,<br><br>Another day, another weird thing with
the Tor network. This time we<br>have some jerk bombing the directory
authorities with directory fetches,<br>and doing it via exits:<br><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/network-health/2021-January/000661.html">https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/network-health/2021-January/000661.html</a><br><br>The
network is mostly holding together, but I wouldn't say it is pretty.<br><br>One
of the long-term fixes will be ticket #2667:<br><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/tor/-/issues/2667">https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/tor/-/issues/2667</a><br>where
exit relays refuse to let users connect back into the Tor network.<br><br>David
and I made a branch this evening that implements #2667, and it<br>could
use some testing. If you're comfortable building your exit relay<br>from
a git branch, please do, and let us know how it goes. It is the<br>"ticket2667"
branch on either<br><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://git.torproject.org/user/arma/tor">https://git.torproject.org/user/arma/tor</a><br>or<br><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://gitlab.torproject.org/arma/tor/">https://gitlab.torproject.org/arma/tor/</a><br><br>And
if your relay is currently using 100% cpu and/or way more bandwidth<br>than
usual, you might be especially excited to try out this patch. :)<br><br>When
the defense triggers, you will see an info-level log line like<br>"%s
tried to connect back to a known relay address. Closing."<br>(where %s
is the destination, so don't get upset at them. :)<br><br>You can let us
know how it's going either by mail just to me, or by a<br>reply on the
list, whichever you prefer. Once we know that you're running<br>the
branch, we can also probe your relay remotely to verify that it is<br>correctly
refusing those connections.<br><br>Thanks!<br>--Roger<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>tor-relays
