TTTT, multiple runs
by Sebastian Urbach 23 Feb '14

23 Feb '14

Dear list members, The "multiple runs" question is now added to the FAQ at the "Trying Trusted Tor Traceroutes" project site. Right now we are at 95 ip's with at least 1 completed run. Hopefully we can add another 5 to that number and reach the "100 milestone" before the next data review in 03/2014. Multiple run's from the same ip are very welcome as well. Thank you for your support ! Want to help ?

Repeated "failed to get unique circID." in the log
by Patrick ZAJDA 23 Feb '14

23 Feb '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I updated my tor relay to Tor 0.2.5.2-alpha (git-7d29e36edb6d0cf0) yesterday, using Tor repository for Ubuntu. I checked the log, and see the following message repeated again and again: "Feb 20 09:52:38.000 [warn] No unused circ IDs. Failing. Feb 20 09:52:38.000 [warn] failed to get unique circID." In fact, this message is repeated so often that I can not even find the last different message in the log... :) I looked for some informations about this message but I didn't find my answer... I read something about used threads, (NumCpu in torrc) and another about bandwidth, so nothing precise. What does this message means?

Make your obfsbridge faster by installing python-gmpy
by George Kadianakis 22 Feb '14

22 Feb '14

Greetings, here is a tip if you are running an obfs3/scramblresuit bridge: If your bridge is feeling too slow or flooded by too many connections, you can help it by installing the python-gmpy package. If you do that, obfsproxy will use python-gmpy opportunistically to perform some crypto operations (modular exponentiations) much much faster. FWIW, in future packages of obfsproxy, the python-gmpy will be installed as a recommended package.

schedule tor relay uptime/ bandwidth
by Zenaan Harkness 22 Feb '14

I know tor relay bandwidth usage per period can be configured, but is it possible to schedule a tor relay to sleep during business hours, and only operate after hours? TIA Zenaan

Relay unresponsive

Somewhat regularly, I get "relay unresponsive" with a heartbeat delta of about 12seconds. Could this mean my upload pipe is still saturated and I need to throttle back slightly? recent arm log: 13:12:56 [ARM_NOTICE] Relay resumed [6 duplicates hidden] 13:12:31 [ARM_NOTICE] Relay unresponsive (last heartbeat: Sat Feb 22 13:12:20 2014) 12:11:34 [ARM_NOTICE] Relay unresponsive (last heartbeat: Sat Feb 22 12:11:20 2014) 11:10:33 [ARM_NOTICE] Relay unresponsive (last heartbeat: Sat Feb 22 11:10:20 2014) 09:30:24 [NOTICE] Heartbeat: Tor's uptime is 2:18 hours, with 146 circuits open.

[WARN] Your system clock just jumped 100 seconds forward; assuming established circuits no longer work.
by Zenaan Harkness 22 Feb '14

22 Feb '14

My tor logs (running on Debian) are showing this warning: [WARN] Your system clock just jumped 100 seconds forward; assuming established circuits no longer work. I tried running openntpd as well as ntp packages (debian), and both display the same problem - once or twice a day I get this jump in time of in the order of a couple of minutes. Any idea why? TIA Zenaan

Multi-instance Tor init script
by Alexander Dietrich 20 Feb '14

20 Feb '14

Hello, the recent thread on this topic prompted me to make a multi-instance init script: https://gist.github.com/7adietri/9122199 It's basically the current official init script and torservers.net's "instances" mechanism frankensteined together. Maybe other people will find it useful too. Config files should be layed out as described on torservers.net: https://www.torservers.net/wiki/setup/server#multiple_tor_processes Best regards, Alexander -- PGP Key: 0xC55A356B | https://dietrich.cx/pgp

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, So I've been receiving a few of these httpd requests on my SSL web server. The webserver runs on the root domain of a subdomain hosting a tor relay. From a whois, i see rgnx is owned by Jacob Appelbaum.
