Number of Connections Open
by Tim Sally 02 Aug '11

02 Aug '11

Hi! I'm working on a model to estimate the number of connections an OR has open as a function of the OR's bandwidth. I could really use some help confirming that my model is reasonable. Would any relay operators be willing to share the results of some variant of netstat | wc -l and the bandwidth of the relay? Thanks, Tim

stable flag
by Softail 25 Jul '11

25 Jul '11

My relay seems to gain and lose the stable flag every day for the last several days. It's been up more than a week. Is this normal? I don't recall seeing this on a previous hosting provider and I suspect there is something going on with the network. I'm thinking of setting the log level to info or debug to try to figure out what is going on. Is that a good idea? Is it likely to be informative?

possible bad exit or bad circuit
by cmeclax-sazri 25 Jul '11

25 Jul '11

jceaovh Pandora18 tornodeca I was browsing a website that I hang out on all the time, and it came up with a Privoxy forwarding failure error. I tried another website and got the same error. I restarted Privoxy; didn't fix it. I brought up Vidalia and looked at the circuits. The one listed above was first; when I attempted to view the website, it added a line with the name of the website, labeled Closed, which quickly disappeared. I closed the circuit and refreshed the website and it came up.

Strange warnings
by Klaus Layer 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

Hi, My relays suddenly show the following warnings: "Tried to establish rendezvous on non-OR or non-edge circuit." Is this something I should worry about? I am wondering why several of my relays shows that at nearly the same time. Thanks, Klaus

Odd activity on my rely
by George Gemelos 19 Jul '11

19 Jul '11

I'm running an exit node, yreka and have noticed as single IP address that has been connected for at least a day, probably longer, which is pushing anywhere from 3Mb to 9Mb but receives very little traffic back from my node, sub 500Kb. My traffic to this machine is going out of 443 (my ORPort) and being sent to port 50090 on the other machine. I only allow exit traffic to ports 80 and 443. So I do not think this is exit traffic. I have also checked on blutmagie and could not find the IP as … [View More]

Seeking headless TAILS (or similar)
by Steve Snyder 19 Jul '11

19 Jul '11

I'm looking for a Tor installation that boots off of read-only media and acts as a relay, sort of a TAILS but without the user-space applications. Does such a thing exist? Thanks.

control_auth_cookie problem
by mick 18 Jul '11

18 Jul '11

Hi Guys I use munin to monitor a bunch of stuff (including tor) on my servers. The long run munin stats are quite useful. I checked my stats today and noticed that there were no entries for tor on one machine going back a couple of weeks. Now I know I rebooted the machine in question about 12 days ago and I /think/ I upgraded tor at that time. Certainly the restart will have caused a regeneration of the cookie file anyway. Checking my logs, I see the following from munin: "Unable to … [View More]

DNAT question
by Softail 18 Jul '11

18 Jul '11

I'm trying to switch my ports from 9001/9030 to 443/80. The tor configuration seems straight forward. I tried /sbin/iptables --append INPUT --protocol tcp --match state --state NEW --destination a.b.c.d --dport 9001 --jump ACCEPT /sbin/iptables --append INPUT --protocol tcp --match state --state NEW --destination a.b.c.d --dport 9030 --jump ACCEPT /sbin/iptables --table nat --append PREROUTING --protocol tcp --source-port 443 --destination a.b.c.d --jump DNAT --to-destination :9001 /sbin/… [View More]

How to set the path of tor control listener file?
by Klaus Layer 18 Jul '11

18 Jul '11

Hi all, I am running multiple tor instances on my relay server. All instances save the Control listener file to /var/run/tor/control. Therefore one instance overwrites the control listener file of the other. Is there a way to set the location where tor writes the control file as it can be done for PID file with parameter PidFile or authentication cookie file with parameter CookieAuthFile? Thanks, Klaus -- Klaus Layer Walldorf, Germany GPG Fingerprint: 466D 12F8 28A3 D137 A77E FC3B … [View More]

Fwd: Arm 1.4.3 Release
by Damian Johnson 17 Jul '11

17 Jul '11

(especially relevant to relay operators...) Hi all. A new release of arm (http://www.atagar.com/arm/) is now available. This completes the codebase refactoring project that's been a year in the works and provides numerous performance, usability, and stability improvements... * Relay Setup Wizard Setting up a relay can be tricky for new users. In headless environments this means navigating Tor's massive, user unfriendly man page and even when Vidalia's an option it makes relatively poor exit … [View More]
