Presentation on Onion Networking at the BCS

Last week I was delighted to be invited to the British Computer Society "OpenSource Specialist Group", where I presented: "Why & How you should start using Onion Networking" Now available for viewing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pebRZyg_bh8 (caution: it starts a bit loud, check your volume) There are a few nits in it where I misspoke or wasn't entirely sure — some stuff I need to read-up on, plus it turns out that thinking on your feet is hard — but I think it's mostly okay. - alec -- http://dropsafe.crypticide.com/aboutalecm

.onion service unavailable at times
by Dylan Holand 01 Jul '19

01 Jul '19

I have a dedicated server with a few onoin-services on it. One of the URL's have some traffic to it, and this URL is not reachable a few times every day. Sometimes 5 minutes, sometimes 15 minutes.. While it's not available, the other onions is working fine, and they all have the same settings. I'm running tor 0.3.5.8-1.el7 Here's a portion of journalctl output which might give a hint of what this could be. These kind of errors show up a lot, and only for the one .onion that has some traffic to it: Tor[19172]: Giving up launching first hop of circuit to rendezvous point [scrubbed] for service xxx. Tor[19172]: Giving up launching first hop of circuit to rendezvous point [scrubbed] for service xxx.

Tor[19172]: Giving up launching first hop of circuit to rendezvous point [scrubbed] for service xxx The server load and the tor process are not under heavy load when this is happening, so it's not a ddos attack or similar.. Any help whatsoever would be highly appreciated as I've been trying to find a solution for this for days!
