ansible-relayor, how to ?
by Petrusko 01 Apr '18

01 Apr '18

Hey! I'm planning to try the "ansible-relayor" to deploy some Tor relay instances. If I'm not wrong, it's a main goal ? 2 instances / IP... (soooory for being really noob about this!!!) But I'm lost... not found a tutorial, step by step, you know the tutorial so loved by all noobs! For now, on a fresh Debian8 install, there are : - tor 0.2.9.8 (fresh install from depo, client is ok when opening log file) - ansible - ansible-galaxy install nusenu.relayor - git clone https://github.com/nusenu/ansible-relayor (the folder is stored in my /home...) Will it configure (automatically) many torrc file per instance ? +every key files /relay ? (I'm not too much lost!) Do have I to do this install on every server built ? Or relayor can manage few servers on different locations ? Command lines list use this tool if available ? Many thx for help !!! (and hard work for this tool :) -- Petrusko C0BF 2184 4A77 4A18 90E9 F72C B3CA E665 EBE2 3AE5

why my exit is not being used?
by gustavo panizzo (gfa) 06 Apr '17

06 Apr '17

Hello I ran sorrentini [1] as a relay for a month or two and everything was fine. then 2-3 weeks ago i decided to allow exit, the traffic went down significantly, is that expected? it has recovered a bit but i feel the node is underutilized, is it stational? I've attached node's munin graphs [1] https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/5E762A58B1F7FF92E791A1EA4F18695CAC667… here is my torrc # general Nickname sorrentini Log notice syslog ControlPort 9051 HashedControlPassword XXXXXXXXX AccountingStart month 01 00:00 AccountingRule sum AccountingMax 1024GB ContactInfo 0x44BB1BA79F6C6333 <tor-admin AT zumbi dot com dot ar> MyFamily 82C92FBAF2196EC346670D12BB9650FE9FF55741,EFD2EEB91E5C5D8CB999B1EC68D89E51F8776AC7 SocksPort 0 SocksPolicy reject * ## IPv4 ORPort 128.199.76.145:443 DirPort 128.199.76.145:80 Address 128.199.76.145 OutboundBindAddress 128.199.76.145 ##IPv6 IPv6Exit 1 ORPort [2400:6180:0:d0::18a7:d001]:443 OutboundBindAddress [2400:6180:0:d0::18a7:d001] # Exit DirPortFrontPage /etc/tor/tor-exit-notice.html CellStatistics 1 DirReqStatistics 1 EntryStatistics 1 ExitPortStatistics 1 ExtraInfoStatistics 1 HiddenServiceStatistics 1 ExitRelay 1 ExitPolicy accept *:53 # DNS ExitPolicy accept *:80 # HTTP ExitPolicy accept *:110 # POP3 ExitPolicy accept *:143 # IMAP ExitPolicy accept *:220 # IMAP3 ExitPolicy accept *:443 # HTTPS ExitPolicy accept *:873 # rsync ExitPolicy accept *:989-990 # FTPS ExitPolicy accept *:991 # NAS Usenet ExitPolicy accept *:992 # TELNETS ExitPolicy accept *:993 # IMAPS ExitPolicy accept *:995 # POP3S ExitPolicy accept *:1194 # OpenVPN ExitPolicy accept *:1293 # IPSec ExitPolicy accept *:3690 # SVN Subversion ExitPolicy accept *:4321 # RWHOIS ExitPolicy accept *:5222-5223 # XMPP, XMPP SSL ExitPolicy accept *:5228 # Android Market ExitPolicy accept *:9418 # git ExitPolicy accept *:11371 # OpenPGP hkp ExitPolicy accept *:64738 # Mumble ExitPolicy reject *:* # nothing else is allowed -- 1AE0 322E B8F7 4717 BDEA BF1D 44BB 1BA7 9F6C 6333 keybase: https://keybase.io/gfa

Connectivity issues; disabling my relay
by Steven Chamberlain 16 Feb '17

16 Feb '17

Hello! My non-exit Tor relay "4pyro2eu3org0" in the United Kingdom is served by a consumer FTTC broadband line. It had a rare, unexplained outage on 2016-01-19 between 00:00 and 02:00 UTC. Two other lines with the same provider, terminating in the same local telephone exchange, were unaffected. When it came back, latency was different (lower) than before, to the first hop (the LNS in Birmingham) suggesting ATM traffic maybe taking a different (faster) route through BT's network *or* just my modem having resynced with different modulation. (Smokeping graph attached). But what concerns me, are intermittent bursts of packet loss (for about 3 seconds, happening every 10-60 seconds) which have been happening for more than 24 hours since. My ISP has checked with BT and assures me no maintenance work was scheduled that night; they see in their logs that my PPP session dropped at that time but believe no other customers at my local telephone exchange were affected. I consider that - whatever may be causing this - this kind of interruption to Tor relay traffic, could make timing attacks easier for an observer. So I'm shutting down my relay until this can be explained and fixed. At the very least, I should replace the BT Openreach-supplied VDSL modem (Huawei HG521) or its firmware with something I have more control over (and third parties have less control over...) Here's how the issue looks in mtr (at 1-second intervals); it affects all IP traffic. Maybe this is something benign, but I encourage other relay operators to be vigilant nonetheless. 1. 217.155.40.118 (Tor relay) ................................................................................... 2. 62.3.80.17 (LNS) .........................???......................???............???............... 3. x.x.x.x (test machine on same ISP) .........................???......................???............???............... and in reverse: 1. x.x.x.x (test machine on same ISP) ................................................................................... 2. 62.3.80.17 (LNS) ................................................................................... 3. 217.155.40.118 (Tor relay) .........................???......................???............???...............

Hello! What does this warning mean? "Jan 13 09:31:49.000 [warn] assign_to_cpuworker failed. Ignoring." Do I need to reduce the number of connection to the relay or could I ignore this message? Regards,

Hi blazingvpn tor relay operator, thanks for adding 4 more tor relays to the network! Please do not forget to set the MyFamily parameter in your torrc configuration to tell clients your relays belong to a single operator. If you need help with the MyFamily option let us know. thanks, nusenu +------------+-----------------+----------------+ | first_seen | IP | eMyFamilyCount | +------------+-----------------+----------------+ | 2016-12-17 | 163.172.190.249 | NULL | | 2016-12-31 | 108.61.128.176 | NULL | | 2016-12-31 | 51.15.47.106 | NULL | | 2016-12-31 | 51.15.58.152 | NULL | | 2017-01-06 | 185.163.45.249 | NULL | +------------+-----------------+----------------+
