Tor 0.4.2.5 - Unable to Run Tor Relay on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS VPS
by David Croft 23 Dec '19

23 Dec '19

Hi, I'm unable to start newly setup/configured guard/middle relay Tor version 0.4.2.5 after setup & configuration of Tor on an Ubuntu 18.04 VPS server. I'm already running a couple of Guard relays on Ubuntu 18.04 with the same VPS provider who allows for Tor Guard/Middle relays. I've followed a blueprint for setting up the Tor relay on Tor 0.4.2.5 which worked no problem on 6 other relays I've configured & operated without issue in the last month on Ubuntu 18.04 Tor version 0.4.1.6. … [View More]

Tor-bridge list
by lists＠for-privacy.net 19 Dec '19

19 Dec '19

Hello, I put a bridge on an unused server. Currently listed on Tor-metrics. https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/48022B9A9402CB6D9918C03B8AFD… But the IP per mail will soon have the "bad guy's". That would be too bad. With 2 Tor-instances, the server has reached 80-100 MiB/s Does the Tor-project have any other more secret bridge lists? Another question: Is it useful to offer other transport protocols than obfs4? -- ╰_╯ Ciao Marco!

Bridge Questions, Best Practices
by Eddie 19 Dec '19

19 Dec '19

Hi, Just setting up a new bridge, on a new VPS, to complement the relay I run at home and have a couple of questions regarding best practices. I set the bridge up from scratch, so it has no connections back to my relay fingerprint etc. as I understand that's "a bad thing". I've seen a few comments mentioning the lack of obfs4 bridges using port 443, so as I don't run any kind of webserver on the VPS I can do this. I also wanted to run an obfuscated bridge on port 80, but it seems … [View More]

by teor 18 Dec '19

Dear relay operators, I just wanted to let you know that RIPE has announced funding for The Tor Project to improve IPv6 support on relays. (RIPE is the European internet infrastructure organisation.) https://www.ripe.net/support/cpf/funding-recipients-2019 We'll have more details early in 2020, when we've worked out an implementation plan and a start time. Thanks for your patience with our current IPv6 support. And thanks to all those volunteer coders who have worked hard to get us this far.… [View More]

Consensus Weight low when compared to Advertised Bandwidth
by Neel Chauhan 16 Dec '19

16 Dec '19

Hi, After having my Primcast.com dedicated server suspended, I signed up for a dedicated server from Psychz Networks in their Dallas location to run a FreeBSD-powered Tor exit relay. https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/9B6672E247BC4656915DF03A470D… While Psychz is a bit more expensive than Primcast/ServerRoom (and that is with an special offer), I get a slightly faster server and far better customer support. One problem is that the consensus weight value is rather low in … [View More]
