Re: [tor-relays] less than 3 bw auths available: self-measurement (with 10k cap in effect)
by Stian Fauskanger 27 Feb '18

if your relays behave strangely in terms of bandwidth seen, than this might be due to the fact that there are less than 3 bw auth votes available. If you run a fast relay it is capped to 10k cw. This affects currently the 857 fastest relays. It also affects "low-consensus" relays. I have a bw=5k relay which almost doubled the amount of traffic, increasing steadily from 14.30 UTC until 19.00 UTC [a.k.a. now]. I assume this is because 5k is a much higher percentage of the total bw now compared to when fast nodes was not capped at 10k and at the same time, 5k didn't "give" me enough traffic to meet RelayBandwidthRate. ~ Stian

Hi Markus, since you are by far the biggest exit relay operator I was wondering if you have any plans to get IPv6 connectivity? thanks, nusenu -- https://mastodon.social/@nusenu twitter: @nusenu_

Dear guys, I am now on my server with SSH and get the message during login: ... Last failed login: Sat Feb 24 14:22:47 EST 2018 from 5.188.10.179 on ssh:notty There were 1343 failed login attempts since the last successful login. ... This simple relay (no exit) is online since less days. Location Moldavia / Trabia Network; VPS Is this amount of attacks regular? In the past i had a log file of 12MB on an other server - all failed logins. It is not a problem. It is only for my feeling "Ok, That's right!". Nickname node49c Olaf

Is it possible to run a Web server and tor ORPort on the same port?
by pikami 22 Feb '18

22 Feb '18

Hello, I was wondering if it's possible to run a Web server and tor ORPort on the same port. I'm using nginx for my web server and I'm using ports 80 and 443, it would be cool if the ORPort could also be 443, that would help people that are behind firewalls, but I can't find any solution for this on google. Is there any way to accomplish this? -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.

dns name
by TorGate 20 Feb '18

20 Feb '18

Hi onion friends :-) i have 2 relays, configured with ipv4 adresses. I have write to my isp and asked: can you change the ripe data ? isp: no my: ok :-( , i can also not change the reverse dnsname 1. So the question: is that a god way to change the config from IP-adress to dnsname in the torrc. 2. Can i also set the hostname manualy ? On Atlas is that my isp. So when there is coming a abuse, all contact is going first to my isp, and not to me. 3. Is that ok when i change the exit-html expl. with my email and business adress regards Steffen TorGate torgate(at)linux-hus.dk OpenGPG 7FD5 65EF A4EF EEF3 7A13 4372 8409 49D6 01A2 0890
