What are the absolute minimum requirements for becoming a guard? [I am not asking about being trustworthy which I am obviously not, only about bandwidth etc. :)]

iptables stats
by Monkey Pet 24 Dec '16

This machine is dedicated as a tor-relay. Is it normal that the INPUT bytes count is much greater than the OUTPUT bytes or did I configure the iptables wrong? iptables -L -v Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination 6 328 ACCEPT all -- lo any anywhere anywhere 38 2557 ACCEPT icmp -- any any anywhere anywhere 1135 68123 ACCEPT tcp -- any any anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:http 27432 6416K ACCEPT tcp -- any any anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:https 6274 479K ACCEPT tcp -- any any anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:ssh 93821 129M ACCEPT all -- any any anywhere anywhere ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED 1050 54292 DROP all -- any any anywhere anywhere Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 70579 packets, 36M bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination

atx.name relays: MyFamily update required
by nusenu 24 Dec '16

24 Dec '16

Hi Josef, thanks for adding your 3 relays to the tor network! Please do not forget to set the MyFamily parameter in your torrc files so tor clients are not using your non-exit and exit relays at the same time in a single circuit. If you need help with configuring MyFamily, let us know. Since you are running tor 0.2.5.12 you might also want to consider updating to the recently released version 0.2.9.8. happy relaying, nusenu https://github.com/nusenu/ansible-relayor https://github.com/ornetstats/stats https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ornetstats/stats/master/o/potentially_dan…

"[warn] Cannot make an outgoing connection without a DirPort" under BSD
by pa011 24 Dec '16

I am running (FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE-p2) Tor 0.2.8.11 getting following warnings while Self-testing indicates that DirPort is reachable from the outside? Can these warnings be ignored, while Tor is running properly afterwards ? Merry Christmas!

Reset torrc file
by Sec INT 24 Dec '16

24 Dec '16

Hi I upgraded all relays and exits to 0.2.9.8 but the torrc file was then renamed on all of them when the daemon restarted automatically - this meant the torrc file was then recreated as defaut losing all my settings and all relays exits were not working - this hasnt happened in all other upgrades to new versions but was pretty inconvenient when having to go back and replace all torrc files - is this normal? Cheers Mark B Snaptor.co.uk (non commercial)

Re: [tor-relays] What's a "useful" relay?
by balbea16 24 Dec '16

24 Dec '16

Hi There I am actually a little bit confused now. I am one of (as Rana knows) those Pi 3 based OR operators with daily changing IP address. My consensus weight is about 5,000, with a max. of 1,400 connections. I would like to recomment, that the TOR org should publish minimum requirements to run a relay. And, if my kind of relays would bring disadvantage to the network, I would shut it off. So far, I think, that small and large relays in combination are good for anonymity. Mike

2bithacker.net relays: please specify MyFamily in torrc
by nusenu 24 Dec '16

24 Dec '16

Hi Chip Marshall, thanks for adding so many new FreeBSD relays! Please do not forget to set the MyFamily parameter in your torrc configuration to tell clients your relays belong to a single operator. Since you know ansible already you might also use it to do that automatically. If you need help with the MyFamily option let us know. thanks, nusenu https://github.com/nusenu/ansible-relayor ornetradar(a)riseup.net: > 2016-12-23 > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Up|Ext|JoinTime| IP | AS | CC | ORp | Dirp | OS | Version | Nickname | eFamlen > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > 1 | 0 | 02:32:38 | 82.196.8.232 | None | nl | 9090 | 9030 | FreeBSD | 0.2.8.11 | 2bitnlams02 | 1 > 1 | 0 | 02:32:32 | 46.101.21.201 | Digital Ocean, | gb | 9090 | 9030 | FreeBSD | 0.2.8.11 | 2bitgblon01 | 1 > 1 | 0 | 02:32:38 | 139.59.0.37 | Digital Ocean, | in | 9090 | 9030 | FreeBSD | 0.2.8.11 | 2bitinblr01 | 1 > 1 | 0 | 02:32:35 | 162.243.115.59 | Digital Ocean, | us | 9090 | 9030 | FreeBSD | 0.2.8.11 | 2bitusnyc02 | 1 > 1 | 0 | 02:32:35 | 45.55.50.151 | Digital Ocean, | us | 9090 | 9030 | FreeBSD | 0.2.8.11 | 2bitusnyc03 | 1 > 1 | 0 | 02:32:35 | 107.170.205.8 | Digital Ocean, | us | 9090 | 9030 | FreeBSD | 0.2.8.11 | 2bitussfo01 | 1 > 1 | 0 | 02:32:34 | 159.203.33.54 | Digital Ocean, | ca | 9090 | 9030 | FreeBSD | 0.2.8.11 | 2bitcator01 | 1 > 1 | 0 | 02:32:37 | 138.68.0.4 | Digital Ocean, | us | 9090 | 9030 | FreeBSD | 0.2.8.11 | 2bitussfo02 | 1 > 1 | 0 | 02:32:34 | 188.166.241.75 | Digital Ocean, | sg | 9090 | 9030 | FreeBSD | 0.2.8.11 | 2bitsgsin01 | 1 > 1 | 0 | 02:32:33 | 46.101.166.19 | Digital Ocean, | de | 9090 | 9030 | FreeBSD | 0.2.8.11 | 2bitdefra01 | 1 > 1 | 0 | 02:32:33 | 188.166.41.46 | Digital Ocean, | nl | 9090 | 9030 | FreeBSD | 0.2.8.11 | 2bitnlams03 | 1 > 1 | 0 | 02:32:32 | 198.199.72.150 | ServerStack, In | us | 9090 | 9030 | FreeBSD | 0.2.8.11 | 2bitusnyc01 | 1 > Fingerprints: > C3F631DE3EC41854168600AE1AE5728A2EA55CBC,0386ADA6F685FABB04E529C5ED49C3DCFB92A73B,2685BFE15151FEB867E1CD27DCACFB8DA39002E5,D93DDF11BD3F58403A2A94EA62C7FA3D415E9FDF,A144C89AEAD0F9CD38A90A1F2FDF9B21592E6799,F45A1231CD1EC9096FD65142E50B940B3E2B384B,71A61E23D16187ACED135530B606FE052CFF763C,6CF9DFBA9B9304706781F10EB4787DB1BFBFF048,E3BC5F5196C140903D3D46029C2340C79C9BF17C,E7EEA1B771C1DF30684DC200338EA7F6EBAF3858,04FBD9ADF8947F925C4C5D3A57A9B0215251EE7A,E4AE28405E6D1D14E0681491A27FFDDC06643B77 >
