Onion Service Fixes in 0.3.0.6
by teor 28 Apr '17

Hi All, We fixed a few onion service introduction point bugs in Tor 0.3.0.6. These may have caused reachability issues for onion services, particularly single onion services. (Thanks to Alec for reporting these bugs.) https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/tree/ReleaseNotes?id=47d2e4f06ec26a79… We didn't get the fix for migrating existing hidden services to single onion services in this release. I am sorry about that. I am not sure if the fix will get in before the 0.3.1 code freeze in May, it depends if I have time, or if someone else picks it up.

Perhaps THEY don't support (i.e. block) connections from Tor users, because they are afraid of spam or other stupid reasons. Nothing you can really do here. Websites blocking Tor is a huge problem. > 2. How to increase (amazon) the number of relay nodes? Because standard > only two redirect point? There are always three nodes. The amazon node should be your guard relay (where you enter the Tor network). Then there are two relays after that. There isn't really any way to change that. Three hops should be sufficient for decent anonymity, no real need to worry here. > 3. How to change the end node of the country (eg country from which I am > POLAND)? Here's a simple guide on how to do that: http://www.wikihow.com/Set-a-Specific-Country-in-a-Tor-Browser -- 4096R/1224DBD299A4F5F3 47BC 7DE8 3D46 2E8B ED18 AA86 1224 DBD2 99A4 F5F3

[warn] connection_edge_process_relay_cell (at origin) failed
by Joe Renege 04 Apr '17

Hi! I have a hidden service on Tor 0.2.9.10 and a log file filled with: [warn] connection_edge_process_relay_cell (at origin) failed. The warnings appear about a minute after starting up and every 30 seconds afterwards. Service eventually degrades to only accepting a fraction of connections. I can only get the service completely online again with a restart. To improve uptimes I have the restart running automatically every 20 minutes. I hope there is a more elegant solution to the problem. Maybe worth saying that this only became an issue when the service started experiencing much higher traffic volume. Despite high volume the box is idling, the tor process is at about 5% CPU and there is lots of available memory.
