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/… [View More]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hello, I have a couple relays / exits running. Now my question is : how do you manage them is there any dashboard or CLI tools to manage them ( statistics, ect.. ) I know the cli tool specially for Tor "arm" Thanks alot. - -- PGP : 29A4CE52 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQI4BAEBCgAiGxxEbyA8eWFuZGVyZXNvbkByaXNldXAubmV0PgUCV0SJlwAKCRBI of/XNyszSvv/D/9VtjI+bmiqK53v//StUbmpYjgQjYheYvwktFld+2XDURh52dmU … [View More]

Re: [tor-relays] Tor exit nodes attacking SSH?

After that check from which ip it was logged in. This probably would be ip of the exit node.

About relay size
by IPonU 08 Oct '17

08 Oct '17

Hi Tor list, I'm already running a small exit node (100Mbps bandwidth) and I'm ready to spend more money on it, so have a question for you guys : Is it better if I run other small ones (100Mbps too) or only 1 big exit relay (1 Gbps) ? What's best for the network stability/security ? Thanks a lot IPonU

More recent rpm somewhere?
by Patrick DERWAEL 07 Oct '17

Hi folks, I'm running a few relays on CentOS 7 As I'm sticking to the ease of rpm distributions, I'm left behind on 0.2.9.10 from EPEL Does anyone know of another rpm repository with a more up to date version ? Thanks! Patrick

Relay uptime versus outdated Tor version
by K. Besig 02 Oct '17

02 Oct '17

One of my relays has over 416 days of uptime, which I'm very proud of, however it's running an outdated version of Tor. I should probably already know the answer, but it seems to me I would have to stop the tor service to update the relay. Would I in fact lose my uptime or would it be seamless? Thanks for the response

bwauths doesn't reach reliable my relay

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 I do wonder why both longclaw and Faravahar seems since few days not to reach my relays 1AF72E8906E6C49481A791A6F8F84F8DFEBBB2BA and 6EABEBF38CE7E3DF672C4DB01383606FE3EB2215 respectively - resulting in a bw value of 20.

Re: [tor-relays] About relay size
by Dhalgren Tor 30 Sep '17

30 Sep '17

FWIW I run a 100TB (150mbps) exit and am convinced that this size provides better quality exit connectivity than the highest ranked monster bandwidth relays. The biggest relays attract the greatest blacklist treatment due to the volume of abuse emanating from them. As a user of Tor I frequently observe connection attempts commencing with a handful of top-rated relays, only to work down to a mid-bandwidth relay such as mine before successfully completing. For this reason I would like to see … [View More]

Info about HW Encryption on Raspberry
by Fr33d0m4all 29 Sep '17

29 Sep '17

Hi, I have a Raspberry Pi3 that runs a Tor mid-relay and I’ve noticed that in the last weeks it reaches high temperatures (about 76°C) due to high CPU usage when Tor traffic increases. It did not reach this temperature until this summer (but it is not due to an higher environment temperature), so I don’t know if it can be related to 0.3 version. Now I’m running Tor 0.3.1.7. Should Tor 0.3.x use Raspberry Pi3 AES-NI hardware acceleration to reduce high cpu usage? Is there a way to check and … [View More]

Dear List, I just noticed an increase from 670k to 8.8 million NTor handshakes. CPU load reached the limit and Consensus Weight dropped.
