boost CPU on a Tor relay
by s7r 28 Dec '14

28 Dec '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, A Tor relay currently going 33MB/s could go a lot faster but CPU is at 93% usage - this is the bottleneck. Here is the output of /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 26 model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 950 @ 3.07GHz stepping : 5 microcode : 0x11 cpu MHz : 3068.000 cache size : 8192 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 8 core id … [View More]

Platform diversity in Tor network [was: OpenBSD doc/TUNING]

Absolutely. Not just due to OpenBSD's security positioning, but moreso from network diversity. Windows is its own world. But if you're a Unix admin there's no reason Linux should be deployed 20x more often than [Free/Open]BSD. It's ridiculously counter to meeting … [View More]

doc/HARDENING Draft

01 Dec '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 I thought I'd share an initial draft of doc/HARDENING. Please share any opinions or contributions you have. This was written in a little more than an hour, so it's still a work in progress. However, in the spirit of prototyping before polishing, I thought I'd share early. Here's the relevant ticket: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/13703 A specific topic of conversation is how much of the advice should be in the document itself … [View More]

Fast Exit Node Operators - ISP in US
by SiNA Rabbani 29 Nov '14

29 Nov '14

Dear Relay Operators, I noticed there are very few US based exit nodes in the network. And more and more people are jumping on the same set of AS numbers in Europe. I am not if the reason is lack of Tor friendly ISPs or people are just too freaked out about the summer of Snowden. I think it's very wrong to assume that EU countries are not part of the world-wide-wiretap, packets are going through a few internet exchanges anyways. I have been hosting/operating Faravahar (one of the authority … [View More]

wild swings in Advertised Bandwidth
by jchase 23 Nov '14

23 Nov '14

Hi, I'm running a low-volume bridge on a raspberry pi. Globe.torproject says that my fingerprint is 1BCD3EBEFE17EEB86EEDE21D5E2DB8468E2864CF . I'm keeping an eye on myself and traffic via globe.torproject and my advertised bandwidth makes wild swings: one day its 56 kB/s and the next day it's 8 kB/s. When I read that "The minimum BandwidthRate setting is 20 kilobytes per second", I am confronted with the fact that 8 is less than 20 and it doesn't seem worth it keeping my bridge up and working. … [View More]

Decision on Dedicated Server for Exit Node
by Libertas 22 Nov '14

22 Nov '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 I've been looking for a budget dedicated server to host an exit node on, and the best option I've found is BalticServers. However, they're already listed on the GoodBadISPs wiki page, and because they're in Northeast Europe (Lithuania, to be precise) I'm concerned that their ISP already has more exit nodes than is healthy for network diversity. Is it a good idea to host another exit node there? If you think there's a better option, I'd … [View More]
