Hi Amazing people I was, during like 2 weeks, successfully running a tor relay, but then it stopped working (nick: morerelays). I was just wondering if my version is EOL and not accepted anymore? I followed the install instructions on https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TorRelayGuide for fedora, and that was the version I got, and I tried reinstalling but that is the version I get. Will I not be able to run a relay anymore? I certainly want to. Thank you kindly Your work matters Oskar

Upgrade your 'dragonfly' Tor relay?

Hi, You are running a Tor relay, which is great: http://rougmnvswfsmd4dq.onion/rs.html#search/5CBD45394573828291C8FE9780232F… First: that Tor version is obsolete, and because of old bugs, we will soon cut relays running those versions out of the network.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! Second: let us know if there is any way to help you bump up the bandwidth that you are allocating to the Tor relay. :) You can find Tor packages for many distros / operating systems here: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TorRelayGuide#Platformspecifi… 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! --Roger

Great. It looks like it is running Tor 0.2.9.16 though? That version ("old LTS") is still technically supported, but it will go out of support in a few months. It would be much better to move to the deb.torproject.org repository so you can keep up with the Tor stables better. > My nodes were running at full speed at the beginning and soon ranked > very high.

Check out the "AccountingMax" option: https://2019.www.torproject.org/docs/faq#LimitTotalBandwidth You can set up AccountingMax to give it an overall monthly limit in each direction, and then throttle the bandwidth so it doesn't use it all too quickly, but this way you don't need to throttle it so much because it will turn itself off for the month when it's reached the limit. --Roger

I've started the process of unblacklisting the fingerprint. It will need a threshold of the directory authorities to pull the update, so it could be a couple of days until it takes effect, but hopefully it will be relatively soon. You can go to the bottom of https://consensus-health.torproject.org/#relayinfo and paste in your fingerprint or nickname to see progress. --Roger

Tor relay "1chandotus" publishes bandwidth at high granularity?
by Roger Dingledine 15 Oct '19

Hi Trevor, Thanks for running a fast relay! http://rougmnvswfsmd4dq.onion/rs.html#details/7DB8443AE29FBC450D34E55FA914F… I notice that the server it's on is publishing very fine-grained bandwidth information though: https://infinity.rocketnine.space/#menu_system_submenu_network;theme=slate Do those graphs include the relay traffic? That level of detail can assist attackers in doing traffic correlation attacks -- for example, if they know that a given burst of traffic happened somewhere in the network, they can check your page to see if your relay was involved in it. Is this level of detail published intentionally? Can we encourage you to put it behind a login, or otherwise make it less available? Thanks! --Roger
