Thanks arma! And I hope it goes well for them and other VPN providers start running their own exit relays.Best wishes,--------------------------------------------On Thu Apr 19 2018 at 6:24:41 PM, Roger Dingledine <arma(a)mit.edu> wrote: .showMessage{white-space: pre-line;}On Thu, Apr 19, 2018 at 01:21:00PM +0000, nusenu wrote:> us-drone-killing-empire(a)scryptmail.com:> > Good day,They happened to pop up not so long> > ago,https://nusenu.github.io/OrNetRadar/2018/03/27/a8.htmlDid they> > abandon them?> > They lived for less than two days, so this might have just been a test.> > Someone from the torproject wrote me that they are in contact with them > (or at least were in contact by the end of last month).I asked Steph for some hints, and she pointed me tohttps://twitter.com/piacsm/status/979101507617415168"We have R&D in progress and we will let the community know when weare ready"So it sounds like it *was* them running the relays, and hopefully theywill decide to take the next step whe n the time is right.--Roger_______________________________________________tor-relays mailing listtor-relays@lists.torproject.orghttps://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays

Whatever happened to those 47 PrivateInternetAccess exit relays?

Good day,They happened to pop up not so long ago,https://nusenu.github.io/OrNetRadar/2018/03/27/a8.htmlDid they abandon them? Did they feel the abuse that would come out of them was too much for them to handle?I don't know but it seems the Tor network would really benefit from their exit contribution that spanned many countries.--Best wishes,

Trouble with relay stability
by Keifer Bly 17 Apr '18

17 Apr '18

Hello, due to a recent power outage at where I run my relay http://torstatus.blutmagie.de/router_detail.php?FP=db1af6477bb276b6ea5e7213… Torland at, it could possibly have lost its stable flag (not sure yet). The outage is lasting about 3 hours or so. If I had the stable flag for about 4 days then my power went out for about three hours, hoe long would that take to regain the stable flag based on mtbf? Thank you very much.

No stable flag from 6 out of 9?
by Ole Rydahl 16 Apr '18

16 Apr '18

My relay nicknamed dobbo appear to be partly in "bad standings" on most of the consensus authorities. I stumbled upon another relay - matlink - with a similar faith. I suspect something in my setup to be the culprit. The only thing in the log that looks a bit suspicious is a warning about a mismatch in ssl versions - "OpenSSL version from headers does not match the version we're running with". Plenty of traffic - just curious.. /Ole Rydahl

Tor relay software automatic updates
by Keifer Bly 15 Apr '18

15 Apr '18

Hello I am running my tor relay “torland” on Mac OS X via this guide here https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-doc-osx.html.en I am wondering, is there a way to configure the tor relaying software to automatically check for software updates and install them automatically if there are any? Thank you.

Are the right people aware that Metrics has been like this for most of the day? No matter what relay you look for it claims old data. https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/9695DFC35FFEB861329B9F1AB04C… -- Matthew Glennon matthew(a)glennon.online PGP Signing Available Upon Request https://keybase.io/crazysane

Tor Relay Stable Flag
by Keifer Bly 12 Apr '18

12 Apr '18

Hello, for a while now, I have been running a relay called torland at http://torstatus.blutmagie.de/router_detail.php?FP=db1af6477bb276b6ea5e7213… I am a little bit bummed right now. After working on it for the past week, I finally had the stable flag, however, unannounced my relay went offline for a while. I had been checking it regularly and everything said it was running fine until it randomly popped up and said it had been offline for the last three hours. I restarted the software immediately however by the time it appeared again it had lost the stable flag. I am little bit annoyed right now because I had been working to get the stable flag for the last several days and finally had it, then the tor network https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/DB1AF6477BB276B6EA5E72132684… came out of nowhere and suddenly said it had been offline for the last three hours despite the fact that I had been checking it every few minutes before hand and it said it was operating normally. I am also wondering, does how long a relay is offline for after loosing the stable flag effect how long it takes for the relay to regain it’s stable flag? Thank you. I am sorry if I seem frustrated, however it’s a bummer to me that I would have the stable flag then it would just come out of the blue that it had been offline for three hours despite saying online and working fine during that time when I did check it. Thank you very much.

Tor Browser and Relay
by Gary 11 Apr '18

11 Apr '18

Hello. I wish to know if it is possible to have Tor Browser use my relay for traffic instead of its own client on start up. At the moment if you change the proxy settings to your relay after startup 1) an observer would of noticed the specific Tor Browser traffic AND the relay 2) Tor Browser checks settings upon startup and if the proxy server setting is changed (eg 127.0.0.1:9050 instead of 127.0.0.1:9150) then it will refuse to start up. This isnt necessary a problem as you can just re-install / re-extract the bundle but upon start up you are still left with the default setting / specific Tor Browser traffic again. I am aware extra bytes will show up on relay search, is this better than not using Tor for my use at all? Thanks.
