Hi!
Is this already solved in 0.2.8.9-1 for addresses with global scope?
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/17153
I was trying to configure a global reachable IPv6 address, but getting
the following error:
"unable to use configured ipv6 address "[::]" in a descriptor."
The only way ist to set a clear global address in the config.
The ISP is changing the 64 bit prefix a bit from time to time and I
don't want to configure it manually every two weeks or so.
Best regards,
Hello all,
Greetings from (currently freezing cold) Scotland and apologies for the cross-posting. I'm a researcher at the University of Edinburgh studying antisurveillance technologies, software development and how these are shaped at different levels by ideas about crime and surveillance. I'd describe my work as criminological but with a strong critical dimension - my research isn't about "fighting crime" or developing cybersecurity policy. I'm interested instead in exploring the power relationships, social and technological factors which determine how actions and communities are labelled criminal, and include harms caused by states and other powerful actors which may not traditionally be considered as "crimes".
>From this perspective, I would like to explore how the values and perspectives of people who develop software to resist surveillance and promote anonymity online shape the technologies they work on, and whether this expertise changes how they see these issues. I have a background in (statistical) programming and I'm particularly interested in finding out how people see these issues playing out in practice in their work.
While I'd like to carry out more in-depth research in the new year, at this stage I'm interested in making sure I'm asking the right questions. As such, I'd be very grateful if anyone involved in Tor development, either as a core developer or as a volunteer, would be interested in having a chat, or if possible a short interview. Any discussions would be anonymous and carried out in accordance with the ethics policy of the University of Edinburgh, and you would be able to withdraw consent for participation at any time for any reason - or none at all.
I'll be contactable at this email address (listed in my signature) and on the IRC channels as JHistone - if you're interested (or just want to say hi or have a chat) please feel free to get in touch.
Best wishes,

Hey,
my Tor relay
https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/B567E8E39641F61091C1F2CAAAF73D3D1BF9C…
balks with the following message which is repeated in the log with the
"info" logging level up to 23251 times at the exact same millisecond.
The relay responds at :9030/tor/server/authority with a 503 error.
router_pick_published_address(): Success: chose address 'x.x.x.x'
This is a counting from the log with the corresponding timestamp.
Nov 01 18:37:13.000 - 23251
Nov 01 18:37:22.000 - 59
Nov 01 18:38:17.000 - 23195
Nov 01 18:38:22.000 - 57
Nov 01 19:19:22.000 - 50

Nov 01 19:38:17.000 - 23207
Nov 01 20:38:17.000 - 23232
140 times exactly 49 repeats in around 2 hours.
Interesting is that there is no error about this 503 error in the log
only my monitoring is aware of the issue.
I hope you coul'd help me out with this issue.
Best Regards
Tobias
Hi all
The consensus weight of the relay I'm running drop recently (5th of nov) to
almost half of previous value. To my knowledge there was no changes on my
end.
https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/36EE8D47E570B8D5515460A9972F3CFD9EDFD…
Is there a way to identify the cause of this drop? Is there anyone else in
same situation?
Thanks
Seb
Putting the word out: I was interrogated by the Finnish police today for
multiple alleged counts (15+) of identity crimes, fraud and attempts of
fraud. The invitation letter to be interrogated was sent out on
2016-10-21 and received by me on 2016-10-25. Today is 2016-10-31.
The police suspects me because of an "IP-address assigned to my name",
which I can't confirm or deny to have a relation to me. As a suspect, I
was not told what this aclaimed IP-address was on a specific date to my
knowledge. It is only speculation if these allegations wrongly against
me have something to do with my relation with the Tor community or
activism about digital rights online.
Pending ongoing investigation, I am not allowed by law to share more
specific details about to the investigation. I'd be glad to reveal more
details about the case once the investigation is over and share/hear how
I became a suspect, once I know about it. (Note that my story is at
least slightly opinionated.)
I had a witness with me and I feel like my rights were being violated
during the interrogation. The officer (not to be named publicly in
respect for privacy) didn't want to allow me to write down their badge
number by taking the badge away from me while trying to write down the
numbers. The officer looked slightly anxious.
After refusing to comment on few questions (to which I have a legal
right as a suspect), soon after me and my belongings with me were
searched for aclaimed "security reasons" and "making sure I'm not
recording this interrogation (with a phone)". I'll let you decide on the
implications on unwarranted searches and individual legal protection.
(See supreme court decision KKO:1990:36.)
I audibly and multiple times in calm manner protested to not consent to
searches, but alas it happened against my will without being suspected
of wrongdoing at the police station in front of my witness. I didn't
physically resist but also didn't voluntarily help the officer.
The officer asked me inappropriate questions which were not related to
the investigation. I was asked about my previous involvement with the
police, how much I knew about the law and unsolicited advice about how
"it will be easier for me if I talked". I demanded the officer to write
down every question since the beginning of interrogation to the
interrogation minutes, including the inappropriate ones, but the officer
refused, trying to make up a fake reason how they were "irrelevant".
The officer raised their voice once or twice during the 45 minutes of
interrogation, apparently angry that I would not "make a confession" or
"help out and tell more" to prove innocence. Confronting the officer
again with a simple question "am I a suspect or a witness" to confirm my
position, I was confirmed again that I was a suspect in the case. Subtly
reminding that "I have my rights" that should be respected, the officer
replied among the lines of "I have my rights too" with disrespect.
After the interrogation minutes did not rightfully represent what was
actually questioned, the only sensible thing to me was to not sign the
minutes. The officer after the officer made threatening claims about how
I "would be going to court" over this, but didn't spend too much effort
on trying to get my signature.
Once the interrogation was concluded, the officer made an unsolicited
comment of "gladly not seeing people like [me] often". I told that I
would be in contact with my lawyers.
I am glad that I was not detained in a cell or arrested, which in my
opinion I can likely attribute to having a witness with me. Looking back
at what just happened at the police station, I should have demanded a
lawyer immediately to the interrogation after having my rights violated,
but I'm relying on my witness for now to make a testimony if necessary.
I repeat that I absolutely deny being guilty of any suspected crimes. Be
safe out there, tor-relays@ and all. (I have legal support behind me and
have never been particularly worried about the investigation or outcome
of this case.)

When I insert my PGP key just like a block of text below the contactinfo line my Tor relay stops working. What is the correct way to insert the PGP key into the torrc file?
Hello Everyone,
When looking at my list on Atlas (21 entries) I'm seeing that some of my relays are getting the Guard flag before they become stable.
https://atlas.torproject.org/#search/quintex
I'm going to make the assumption this is normal behavior but I still find it odd.
I also find it odd that I haven't received the stable flag all of the relays given their uptime. Thoughts, anyone?
Thank you!

In order to clarify this once and for all: If I setup a Tor relay with 200 kBps, do I slow down the Tor network? What amount of bandwith is needed in order to not slow down the network?
just a reminder since most of the tor network (including some of the
biggest operators) still runs vulnerable relays
https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tor-0289-released-important-fixes
Since 2/3 directory authorities removed most vulnerable versions from
their 'recommended versions' you should see a log entry if you run
outdated versions (except if you run 0.2.5.12).
It is not possible to reliable determine the exact CW fraction
affected[1] due to the fact that patches were released that didn't
increase tor's version number.
Therefore it is also possible that you get log entries even if you run a
patched version (IMHO this hasn't been handled in the most professional
way).
