Hi everyone, I`ve got an issue with my local IP address. I am running a relay about 1 year and since 3 or 4 weeks I can`t reach some websites like: ebay or ikea. All I get is this message: * * *Access Denied* You don`t have permission to access "Http://www.ebay.com/" on this server. Reference # ____looong number______ I think I am on some blacklists. After I change my IP address all worked fine for only 2 days. Can I do something about this? Thank you for your help! Kind regards Kalle

Atlas is now Relay Search!
by Iain R. Learmonth 16 Nov '17

Hi All, You may notice that Atlas has a new look, and is no longer called Atlas. For now no URLs have changed but this is part of work to merge this tool into the Tor Metrics website. The style is determined by the Tor Metrics Style, and modifications have been made to fit this. The decision was made to deploy these changes before the actual integration into metrics.torproject.org to allow for other issues to be worked on. This was a big change and it was tricky maintaining two branches of the codebase. Issues should still be reported on the Metrics/Atlas component in the Tor trac if they arise. When we come to full integration, URLs will change but there will be a period where we maintain redirects to prevent any URLs from breaking while waiting for being updated. Thanks, Iain.

Hello All, I use to review my bridges as well as my relays on Atlas. Now I don't find my bridges on nyx. Is this something I'm doing wrong?

How do I use a different IP address? I only got one. Should I pipe the traffic through a proxy (somewhere else)? Yeah, I though about to use the Tor browser but for my girlfriend I think not.

URLs that are supposed to show node details don't work either, only the broken query page is shown. I tested this both with existing Atlas bookmarks and URLs copied over from Chrome. -Ralph

Sadly I run a only a relay therefore this is a troublesome action. So if more admins do this, I could be in trouble. After reading all the answers, there seem to be only two solutions: 1. hoping that my IP get unbanned 2. shutdown the relay (3. surf over a proxy or VPN) Kind regards Kalle >> Hi everyone, >> >> >> I`ve got an issue with my local IP address.

PSA: exclude /var/lib/tor/diff-cache/ from your backups
by Roman Mamedov 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

Hello, Turns out that dir is highly variable, and judging from the name, also disposable. In my case it was responsible for about 20 GB of churn over a month, i.e. it took 25 GB to keep incremental backups of two Tor nodes with only 2 GB each in root FS (and I was wondering what's going on with my backup location's free space...) Dear Tor project: this is very bad style to keep that in /var/lib, content with properties like this must go into /var/cache/ [1], where it would be automatically excluded from backups by default policies in most backup systems.
