Raspberry pi 3 relay performace
by tor_manager＠autistici.org 26 Nov '18

26 Nov '18

Hello everyone, I have a tor relay running on a raspberry with raspbian 9 and tor version 3.4.8, everything is working fine for more then a year. I noticed that the average download/upload is just 1.5 MB and the peak 3.3 MB The Bandwidth configuration is the following: BandwidthRate 9 MB BandwidthBurst 10 MB RelayBandwidthRate 9 MB RelayBandwidthBurst 10 MB MaxAdvertisedBandwidth 9 MB It doesn't look the CPU or memory usage are too high. Is this something normal? How can I … [View More]

Become a Fallback Directory Mirror
by Colin Childs 14 Nov '18

14 Nov '18

Hello Tor Relay Operators, Do you want your relay to be a Tor fallback directory mirror? Will it have the same address and port for the next 2 years? Just reply to this email with your relay's fingerprint. If your relay is on the current list, you don't need to do anything. If you're asking: Q: What's a fallback directory mirror? Fallback directory mirrors help Tor clients connect to the network. For more details, see [1]. Q: Is my relay on the current list? Search [2] and [3] for your … [View More]

Monitoring exit node traffic by port?
by Isaac Grover, Aileron I.T. 10 Nov '18

10 Nov '18

Greetings fellow relay operators, Do you monitor outbound traffic from your relays by port? I run an exit node relay from my house allowing only "safe ports" that are not likely to generate complaints and I would like to keep an eye on how much traffic is coming from the Tor network through those ports to the Internet. Anyone? Do you use a tool like vnstat on the interface? Make your day great, Isaac Grover, Senior I.T. Consultant Aileron I.T. - "Practical & Proactive I.T. Solutions" … [View More]

Good morning Spiros, You are correct in that I won't maintain the exit flag without ports 80 and 443 open, *and* I lose my eligibility for a free t-shirt, *but* I am not likely to attract attention at my home either. =) Make your day great, Isaac Grover, Senior I.T.

Running an exit node from home
by Isaac Grover, Aileron I.T. 31 Oct '18

31 Oct '18

Good morning, As a followup to my last (and other) posts on this list, I have been cautioned multiple times of running an exit node from my home. After careful consideration and previous direct feedback from this list, I configured an exit node with the following exit policy, which allows traffic on ports that are "safe" in my opinion, meaning that they're not likely to generate complaints or search warrants. accept *:5228 accept *:8333 accept *:9418 accept *:11371 reject *:* Regarding … [View More]

Re: [tor-relays] freebsd relay doesnt receive any traffic (after 1 month)
by dlugasny＠protonmail.com 30 Oct '18

30 Oct '18

Hi Matt, thanks for Your hints. To build my BSD relay, I used some of the available in the internet BSD tutorials. It seems that I have copied some parameters without understanding what for they are. I would like to run non-exit tor relay. Which parameters should I commented out ? Documentation, in did I have to read it, but it would be much easier (much faster) to have some example which user can copy with some small modifications.

searching the tor-relays archives
by torix＠protonmail.com 30 Oct '18

30 Oct '18

Before I download months of gzipped archives and zgrep them myself, is there a way to search the messages themselves? I'm looking at: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-relays/ but maybe there as another setup somewhere else. TIA, --Torix Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.

Re: [tor-relays] Monitoring exit node traffic by port?
by Isaac Grover, Aileron I.T. 30 Oct '18

30 Oct '18

Good morning all, My motivation for the traffic graphing per port was simply to get an idea if the ports were even being used, and I would only view them internally - would this still be a violation of user trust?
