noticed gablemoo's BW scanner is offline and the entry for it at https://consensus-health.torproject.org/#bwauthstatus was removed; is it gone or just taking an extended break?

Hi Moritz and Jens, Arthur's DNS exit scanner is detecting a high DNS failure rate on some of your tor instances: https://arthuredelstein.net/exits/ Would be great if you could look into this. thanks, nusenu -- https://mastodon.social/@nusenu twitter: @nusenu_

New Relay
by Gary 18 Feb '18

18 Feb '18

Hello. I recently set up a new relay, jaffacakemonster2, I would be grateful if someone could answer some questions for me. 1. The bandwidth on Atlas is listed as "0". Is this a wait a few days/new relay issue or a configuration issue. I was surprised to find exit relays are default now, I hope I didn't disable too much so to speak. 2. My family on Atlas - the little numbers in brackets are not all the same, I only run two relays, however on the listings it reports sometimes two sometimes three. Are you meant to include "yourself" in the torrc or only other relays?? Thanks.

PerConnBWRate, RelayBandwidthRate, BandwidthRate
by nusenu 18 Feb '18

18 Feb '18

Hello, I've got two questions regarding some bw related torrc settings. 1) after reading tor's manpage section about PerConnBWRate: > PerConnBWRate N > bytes|KBytes|MBytes|GBytes|TBytes|KBits|MBits|GBits|TBits If set, do > separate rate limiting for each connection from a non-relay. You > should never need to change this value, since a network-wide value is > published in the consensus and your relay will use that value. > (Default: 0) I was wondering what value dir auths set in consensus, but I was not able to find anything that looked like it in consensus [1]. dir-spec [2] > "perconnbwrate" and "perconnbwburst" -- if set, each relay sets > up a separate token bucket for every client OR connectio [...]> First-appeared: 0.2.2.7-alpha > Removed-in: 0.2.2.16-alpha Does that mean that dir auths stopped including it since tor 0.2.2.16-alpha should we update the manpage then? Is there a default value if consensus does not say anything about it or is there no per connection limit in that case? 2) Is there a RelayBandwidthRate torrc setting in addition to BandwidthRate so tor instances which act as clients and relays at the same time can have independent bw rates for each role (client, relay)? BandwidthRate -> affects client and relay role RelayBandwidthRate -> affects only relay role is this correct?

DoS stats from exits running 0.3.3.2-alpha
by nusenu 17 Feb '18

17 Feb '18

I was wondering if these unfriendly tor clients are using tor's default path selection or something else. If they do tor exit relays would have much smaller values in their DoS stats, right? Would any tor exit operator (listed bellow) running 0.3.3.2-alpha be willing to share (obfuscated/not exact counters) of their DoS log entries?

Relay stuck at Bootstrapped 0%
by Paul 17 Feb '18

17 Feb '18

I am running two relays on debian (one on Raspian 9 and one on Debian 9) and one of them for over three months now. Some time ago the older one started to loop at startup. I reinstalled tor and it worked for some time only to loop again. The last notices entry looks like this "Feb 16 19:36:14.000 [notice] Bootstrapped 0%: Starting" and the next is "Feb 16 19:42:08.000 [notice] Tor 0.2.9.14 (git-a211f886ad759cab) opening log file." then it tells about opening the listeners and parsing the GEOIP files, then my relay identity and the bootstrapped 0% entry again (left some informational entries out). The debug log looks like it is getting descriptors and stuff correctly. What could be the problem?

Hi All, Relay Search has moved! It is no longer to be found at atlas.torproject.org (although a redirect is in place). The new home is at: https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html If you prefer an onion service: http://rougmnvswfsmd4dq.onion/rs.html Thanks, Iain.

Hi to all, what is the best way to intergrade the tonull list in the torrc ? ExitPolicy https://tornull.org/tornull-bl.txt <https://tornull.org/tornull-bl.txt> is that working ? or via a include ? regards Steffen TorGate torgate(at)linux-hus.dk
