exit-address related questions
by Star East 22 Mar '22

22 Mar '22

Hi Team, Good evening. Please refer below TOR exit node list : https://check.torproject.org/exit-addresses. Which has following fields: ExitNode 63BA28370F543D175173E414D5450590D73E22DC Published 2010-12-28 07:35:55 LastStatus 2010-12-28 08:10:11 ExitAddress 91.102.152.236 2010-12-28 07:10:30 Based on documentation I found here : https://metrics.torproject.org/collector.html#type-tordnsel the above fields have the below meaning : ExitNode - fingerprint of the exit relay node Published - Descriptor publishing time which 07:35:55 LastStatus - relay node was contained in a version 2 network status made at 08:10:11 ExitAddress - ip address for exit node 91.102.152.236 was found in a test performed at 07:10:30. However, I am not clear on what is the meaning of timings mentioned in LastStatus and ExitAddress fields, if you can please explain that or point me to right documentation ?. Also apart from exit-address and torbulkexitlist is there any other list which mentions last seen time or has more detailed metadata about exit list nodes ? . Kindly answer the above questions. Thanks, Andrew

Bridge status
by Bruno Grossmann 21 Mar '22

21 Mar '22

Hello, I have installed a bridge in December 2021. It has been running seamlessly - until recently. For the last week or so, when I check the status page, it says it is down. Yet, when I check on the server, it seems to be running fine (see output below). Is it an issue with the bridge checking mechanism or is there a real issue with my bridge? In other words, what information would I be looking for to ensure my bridge is up?

by Ulyses uly 26 Feb '22

26 Feb '22

Hi, I'm a student of cyber intelligence master degree. Now, I am studying which countries officially censor the access to the TOR network (in their laws, penal code, ...). There is a lot of misinformation so, Do you have any official country list about it? Thanks so much :)

Tor Bridge/Relay Location
by Matthew Raposo 30 Dec '21

30 Dec '21

Hello, I was wondering if Relays and Bridges are specific to a country. If, for example, I am a bridge in the United States can I act as a Bridge for Tor users in other countries? If so, is there a range for how far a Bridge or Relay can be acting for other users? Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Jeff

More details about bad-relay proposal
by Garún 19 Nov '21

19 Nov '21

Hello everyone, yesterday during the State of the Onion stream, Georg mentioned a proposal that considers the implementation of a relay trust factor in order to prevent malicious operators from getting the bandwidth they want. I wanted to ask if there are any sources I can read into for more details about this? Or if more information could be provided on the proposal? It sounds a bit like this is going into the direction of nusenu's web of trust [1]. Garún [1] https://nusenu.github.io/tor-relay-operator-ids-trust-information/

Question about authority nodes
by Daniel Mider 11 Oct '21

11 Oct '21

Dear All, First of all, I would like to say that TOR is great and you are doing a very important job globally. I would like to ask where I can find information on TOR directory nodes. Are there 9 of them? Apparently, each of them is controlled by a different organization. What are these organizations called? Regards Daniel Mider

Queries about user statistic on Tor Metrics
by Nowshin, Nafisa 22 Sep '21

22 Sep '21

Hello, I am a graduate student at Oregon State University doing research on digital privacy and security. My advisor is Dr. Glencora Borradaile. We are trying to use tor metrics data in order to understand the reason why people are connecting to tor and if it is because of some external motivation (the topic of our research) or because they are regular users. Looking at the user statistics available in tor metrics website, we had a few questions we wanted to clarify. 1. How frequently tor browsers send out update pings? Is there a fixed frequency or do they vary over time? 2. Are update pings sent every time a user opens their browser or only when new updates are pushed to the tor browser? Thank you for your time. Regards Nafisa Nowshin Graduate Assistant School of EECS, Oregon State University
