Borg SSH could not resolve hosname
by anan 22 Feb '21

22 Feb '21

Hello! I'm trying to run BorgBackup through Tor for some small backups. Borg uses SSH for remote backups. I installed Tor on my local and remote computers. I configured an onion SSH service in the remote one, where my Borg server is. I can SSH the remote computer through Tor without a problem. To run Borg, in my local script I have BORG_REPO=ssh://iamusininthismessagethisfakeversion3onionaddressinsteadofmyrealone.onion:2222/path/to/repo and have "torsocks" before the "borg create" command. That does the job, the backups are done, however I am getting some name resolution error (please see below). Do you have any advice? Thank you! ------ ERROR torsocks[]: Unable to resolve. Status reply: 4 (in socks5_recv_resolve_reply() at socks5.c:677) Remote: ssh: Could not resolve hostname iamusininthismessagethisfakeversion3onionaddressinsteadofmyrealone.onion: Name or service not known Connection closed by remote host. Is borg working on the server? terminating with error status, rc 2

The problem of finding hidden Tor service after server restart
by Mariusz Otlewski 01 Feb '21

01 Feb '21

Hi All, I have several Raspberry Pi with hidden Tor service - I use this to connect to Raspberry over ssh. It works very well. I noticed that after restarting the raspberry, I have to wait a while for the hidden service to be found in the Tor network again. It's okay if I wait a minute, but sometimes I have to wait 5, 10 or even 15 minutes before the .onion address is found in the Tor network and I can connect to it. While waiting, I have a message in TorBrowser: *Onionsite Not Found*, in Torify: *Host unreachable* So I have a few questions. What determines the time after which I can find a hidden service on the Tor? Is it possible somehow to force a faster propagation of the availability of .onion address on the network? I've done a lot of testing but it looks very random. Could you please help clarify this point? Best Regards Manieck

Help

19 Dec '20

Good evening, I speak Italian and I'm not very good with the English language so sorry in advance. My question is: is there a way to have a server in my house where I can connect the whole lan and wlan network so that everyone can use the tor network and remain anonymous? Thanks in advance :)

Possible Tor network attack?
by 0xf2＠secmail.pro 17 Oct '20

17 Oct '20

Some onionsites are returning 0xF2 errorcode but their servers are online. Is the middle node blocking Tor's description request? Details: 0xF2 — Introduction failed, which means that the descriptor was found but the service is no longer connected to the introduction point. It is likely that the service has changed its descriptor or that it is not running. PoC: foreach lists in OnionServerLists.txt: do code := query OnionURL if code ne 200 log fi endfor One of those URL: http://zkyo47fhjhfstn3a2bnaj3ir5rcv7f6vo3cuktpjpiw2mxfjqakqipyd.onion/ Try to open above example URL on Tor Browser 10 per 2 hours.

Retrieving a list of connections to own hidden service
by Vasil Dimov 25 Sep '20

25 Sep '20

Hello, I am wondering if it is possible to retrieve, via tor-control, the list of connections the tor daemon has opened to a hidden service it manages. For example, an application connects to tor-control and issues: ADD_ONION NEW:BEST Port=8333,127.0.0.1:8333 Which creates a hidden service addrwhatever.onion. Later somebody connects to addrwhatever.onion:8333 and the tor daemon opens a TCP connection like 127.0.0.1:46153 -> 127.0.0.1:8333. Next, some other application (not the tor daemon) connects directly to 127.0.0.1:8333 and that is 127.0.0.1:52490 -> 127.0.0.1:8333. What if the application running at 127.0.0.1:8333 wants to distinguish incoming tor connections from the rest? From its point of view the connections from the example above are just TCP connections coming from 127.0.0.1:46153 and 127.0.0.1:52490. GETINFO stream-status comes close, but it only prints addrwhatever.onion:8333 which is not sufficient. Thanks! -- Vasil Dimov gro.DSBeerF@dv % A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that works.

Question about preventing DDOS
by froggo＠secmail.pro 18 Aug '20

18 Aug '20

My hidden service was getting a lot of DDOS attacks recently. It was firstly against Apache itself. I created a captcha system that doesn't spend much bandwidth even when under DDOS. Using OnionBalance to balance Tor instances between CPUs. My service is V3. So recently the way of DDOS changed. My bandwidth usage is nearly at maximum but even after I stop Apache service it continues. I checked it with Nethogs and Tor is spending the bandwidth when Apache is running or not running. HiddenServiceEnableIntroDoSDefense 1 HiddenServiceEnableIntroDoSRatePerSec 25 HiddenServiceEnableIntroDoSBurstPerSec 200 Using these settings with my hidden service but doesn't seem to be doing anything. Is there something known to stop this with a configuration or is dedicating more bandwidth the only way? My server spends 800 Mbps of bandwidth even though nothing is served. Thank you.

Scripts for setting up onion instan
by Farhān 04 Aug '20

04 Aug '20

Hi all, Are there any known scripts(.sh /.py etc) that could help me setup multiple .onion services on a single machine? Something like pagekite can potentially help, except of course for onion services. My aim is to setup a xmpp instance, a WriteFreely instance and a mediawiki site ultimately. Regards,
