Hi, You are running a Tor relay, which is great: http://rougmnvswfsmd4dq.onion/rs.html#search/1DFB1135088658EE9D4D9B272BE15E… But that Tor version is obsolete, and because of old bugs, we will soon cut relays running those versions out of the network. Please consider upgrading! You can find Tor packages and instructions for your distro / OS here: https://community.torproject.org/relay/setup/guard/ Ideally you will switch to keeping up with our stable releases, but if you need a stable that is especially stable, the Tor 0.3.5 branch will be maintained until Feb 2022: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkTeam/CoreTor… and you can see the lifetimes of other Tor versions on that table too. Let us know if we can do anything to make the process easier. And lastly, I am cc'ing the new network health mailing list (which has public archives), to help us stay synced: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkHealthTeam Thanks!

Large ASes and Operators
by teor 19 Feb '20

19 Feb '20

Hi Network Health team, A relay operator recently raised some concerns about a large exit operator on the tor-relays list: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-relays/2020-February/018151.html I did some analysis of the largest ASes: * 23% of guards and 22% of middles (Hetzner) * 16% of guards and 12% of middles (OVH) * 10% if guards (Online) * 20% of exits (Joshua Peter McQuistan) https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#aggregate/as I think the "Joshua Peter McQuistan" AS is all one operator. I've opened this ticket to check for bandwidth authority configuration or location issues: Are bandwidth authorities concentrating too much bandwidth in one area? https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/33351 I've also opened this ticket to check for sbws bugs: Is sbws weighting some relays too high? https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/33350 Ultimately, I think the answer is "Let's help people run more exits." (After we finish Sponsor 55, maybe our next step should be IPv6-only bridges and exits.) I'm not sure if you want to impose some kind of limits on ASes or operators in the meantime. I suggest that 20% of Guards, Middles, or Exits is a useful limit. T -- teor ----------------------------------------------------------------------
