Blocking PSN
by SuperSluether 29 Nov '16

29 Nov '16

I keep getting Account Takeover Attempt abuses on my Tor exit, and I'm not sure how to handle them: It is most likely the attack traffic is directed at one of the following endpoints: account.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com auth.np.ac.playstation.net auth.api.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com auth.api.np.ac.playstation.net These endpoints on our network are resolved by Geo DNS, so the IP addresses they resolve to will depend on the originating IP address. The destination port will be TCP 443. I used 'dig' and 'ping' to see what IP address the 4 endpoints resolved as, and blocked the resulting addresses, but I'm still getting the abuse. The Whois records show Sony and PSN owning 63.x.x.x, 64.x.x.x, 68.x.x.x, and 108.x.x.x addresses, but the websites above resolve to 23.x.x.x, so either the lists are incomplete or I'm doing something wrong. Any ideas?

Vodafone Italia blocking traffic from IPs that belong to Tor relays
by fr33d0m4all 27 Nov '16

27 Nov '16

Hi, I just want to share my recent time experience with Vodafone Italia (mobile carrier). Some days ago, for the first time, I was surfing Vodafone.it site from my home network where I run a Tor non-exit relay, and when I surfed "https://ricarica.vodafone.it/" I've got the following error page: Access denied (403) Active policy for this site prohibits access from TOR Network. For further information, do not hesitate to contact us. Contact us: support+vodafone(a)reblaze.com For a reference, please provide the following paragraph: [MyIPAddress]://vodafone-rbzr2313438303139323634335aee0f47488438e0 [1480192643] I wrote to reblaze.com, I've explained that I'm running a non-exit relay and that even if Vodafone is saying that traffic from Tor (they say TOR -__- ) Network, no traffic from Tor network can reach the public network (and so their site) from my own relay. This was my email: Hi, today I've received the attached error when trying to pay on Vodafone Italia site and I want to point out that it is a false positive. The error is "Active policy for this site prohibits access from Tor Network." and I was surfing the web directly from my public IP address X.X.X.X. As you can see on ExoneraTor this IP address also hosts a Tor <<middle>> relay: https://exonerator.torproject.org/?ip=X.X.X.X&timestamp=2016-11-24 If you gave a close look to that Tor Relay, you can see that it is DEFINITELY NOT A TOR EXIT RELAY, so you/Vodafone can't receive any traffic from Tor Network from my relay, since it is only a transit Tor relay: https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/xxxxxxx (Exit policy is reject, so it is not an Exit relay). So, I understand that you want to block sessions coming from Tor network, but you should definitely get a list of Tor exit relays only, not the full list of Tor relays that includes Tor relays that will NEVER send traffic from Tor network to public network. I'd like to understand why you're blocking sessions coming from an IP address that hosts a non-exit relay. And this is their reply: Hi currently this web site policy is to block any IP that is identified as TOR Relay: "Looking up IP address X.X.X.X on or within one day of 2016-11-24. Tor clients could have selected this or these Tor relays to build circuits." we are not checking the "Reject Policy" we will check the issue with the web site administrators Thanks Reblaze Support . I think I won't receive any further info from Vodafone, BTW if they reply, I'll share their answer with you.

Tor relay questions
by Sec INT 24 Nov '16

24 Nov '16

Hi Ive been running a relay as a test for a broader rollout including an exit but Im not sure of a few things and am finding it difficult to get further information so here goes - my relay is running at the moment but on atlas it has a line through the uptime? Is this something with 'Accounting' soft? - for server monitoring Im using nagios but it is very difficult to set this up to monitor bandwidth use does anyone know of a tool to do this? (Im using webmin to record bandwidth use but it doesnt have any alerting on it) - on atlas i dont seem to have any bandwidth showing? - what is HSDir and V2dir on atlas flags mean? - ive seen the good/bad isp page but this seems quite old is there anywhere to get more up to date information on good isps? Im looking at implementing 4-5 relays any suggestions about where and any isps that may allow tor in these regions? Thanks for any help Snap

Problem with sendmail on relay
by Berta Gieselbusch 24 Nov '16

24 Nov '16

Good morning, I've setup my first relay. Until now everything seems to be working fine, but I keep getting mails from logcheck I don't know how to deal with. The reported errors are: "sm-mta[15148]: STARTTLS=client, relay=smtpin.rzone.de., version=TLSv1/SSLv3, verify=FAIL, cipher=ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384, bits=256/256". Thank you for any hints! Best wishes Berta

Fwd: Spam mailout
by Petrusko 21 Nov '16

Hey, Here a copy of a mail containing an attached file logs_petrusko.zip containing .js sent to my mail address used for relays... This file edit here : https://framabin.org/?0b8d246a55e76e07#deg6j9x5HjLbtOhY9rA6FIiINzthE0t+qfYU… It smells like shit... I'm not 100% sure, but first time it happens on this mailbox. May be a new bot scanning relays informations...? Take care. ps: torrc contains this mail address obfuscated... not enough may be ? Here is the mail (name changed...), : Dear petrusko We've been receiving spam mailout from your address recently. Contents and logging of such messages are in the attachment. Please look into it and contact us. Best Regards, Marian Henderson ISP Support Tel.: xxx
