Please help us find a working alternative to using MaxMind's GeoLite2 databases
by Karsten Loesing 14 Jul '20

14 Jul '20

Hi relay operators, as you might have heard, MaxMind has changed access and use of their GeoLite2 databases: https://blog.maxmind.com/2019/12/18/significant-changes-to-accessing-and-us… This affects Onionoo and tor, and I'm trying to find a working alternative on the following ticket: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/32978 Today I think I found a possible alternative by using data from another provider. But before I name it here, I'd first want to find out how accurate it is. I tried resolving relay IP addresses of relays that have been running in the past week and compared that to our existing lookups using MaxMind's October database. The result is that 7669 relays (93%) had the same country code and ASN. I put the remaining 7% on the following wiki page: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/MetricsGeoipComparison I'd like to hear from you which data source is right and which is wrong (or if both are wrong). If you'd like to help, please leave comments on the ticket or in the "Comment" column on that wiki page by February 19, 2020. Thanks for helping! All the best, Karsten

Hardware specs for a high-bandwidth Tor exit?
by Christian Pietsch 09 Jul '20

09 Jul '20

Dear Tor friends, the NGO I am volunteering for (Digitalcourage e.V.) has been running modest Tor exits for many years. Now we finally have the opportunity to run a high-bandwidth exit relay because we found a data center with a nice internet connection (20 Gbit/s) we may use. My question is: What kind of hardware should we buy to utilize this bandwith? I am told that we need an SFP+ networking card to connect to the fibre optics cable, but what CPU and mainboard would you recommend nowadays? It should fit into a 1 height unit 19" enclosure. If you prefer to tell me in person: I will attend the Tor meetup in Brussels on Friday <https://blog.torproject.org/events/tor-meetup-brussels> and the subsequent Freedom Not Fear event <https://www.freedomnotfear.org/>. Cheers, Christian -- Christian Pietsch | volunteering for Digitalcourage e.V., Germany Digitalcourage e.V.: https://digitalcourage.de/ BigBrotherAwards Germany: https://bigbrotherawards.de/ Betting living without Google: https://pad.foebud.org/google-alternatives

Re: [tor-relays] Improving Relay IPv6 - RIPE Grant
by ILikeTor 18 Mar '20

18 Mar '20

Hi, I was wondering how you will implement IPv6-only relays. What limits will you set on how many relays can be per /(something)? Will you allow only two relays per /64, for example? Do you have any plans for that already?

Consensus Weight Dropping/Authority Issues?
by John Ricketts 16 Mar '20

16 Mar '20

Hello, I have been watching the consensus weight and bandwidth of all of my 50 exit nodes drop consistently over the past few months. I have not made any hardware changes in my data center and actual customers have not complained about any performance issues. Operating systems and Tor version are up to date. I'm dedicating a significant portion of bandwidth to these nodes - 10gbit/sec. Am I having issues with the bandwidth authorities? I'm growing frustrated with my performance to resources ratio, I should be doing far better than this. Please throw ideas at me - open to any ideas. Thanks! John Quintex Alliance Consulting

Stable flag not appearing on my bridge.
by Keifer Bly 01 Mar '20

01 Mar '20

Hi all, So my bridge at https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/386E99371B8CD938248940B754F1… Is not getting the stable flag despite being running for several weeks with only minor interruption in between. Is the stable flag no longer used for bridges? Thank you. -- --Keifer

So here is my working script of automatically starting windows tor relays bridges when windows starts, and trying to write script to auto update.
by Keifer Bly 28 Feb '20

28 Feb '20

Hi all, So here is my script for automatically starting a Windows (Expert bundle based) relay or bridge when windows starts. Open a new notepad document. Then add the following to it: Cd c:/pathwheretorexpertbundleisindtalled tor.exe -f torrc.txt (assuming your torrc is a text file). Then save this file as batch file in the “startup” folder which should be at C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\*Windows*\Start Menu\Programs\*Startup* *What this does is it creates a script for windows to automatically run at startup that tells the os to point to the directory tor expert bundle is installed in and launch tor.exe and read the configuration file. This is tested and working for me. But I am still trying to write a script to automatically download and install the newest tor version when released as well as obfs4, proving difficult as the url changes with each version. Any thoughts are appreciated, thx very much.* -- --Keifer

Why MyFamily?
by [REDACTED] 27 Feb '20

27 Feb '20

Last week i got an email with a warning that some of my relays are missing the correct MyFamily setup and that i am a risk to do end-to-end correlation attacks together with a list of all relays i operate plus one relay which uses the same name than i use but is not operated by me. I already knew that not all of my relays have a correct MyFamily setup because as long as i am not sure if they will stay i usually dont include them in MyFamily because it is a pain to edit every torrc if they anyway will disappear again soon. I did it that way with all relays before and when i am sure that the hoster is okay with me and that i am okay with the hoster i always included them in MyFamily. In the received email nothing was written that someone might expect an answer from me so i deleted that email and to not trigger that warning again i deleted the contact info from these specific relays for now. A few days later i got a message that some of my relays will soon get rejected because i did not responded to the previous email. I explained why i do not have a correct MyFamily setup and i explained that one of these relays is not operated by me even if it has the same name than one of my relays. The answer of the bad-relays mailing list was that its important for them to know that one of the relays tried to look like me and that i can use a third-party tool for setting up the MyFamily and that further discussion about the MyFamily is more suitable for the relays mailinglist. What i learned from that: - The bad-relays team expect an answer to their emails even if they do not tell you that in the first email and rather send you a second email that they will soon reject your relays if you dont answer them. - I could do an end-to-end correlation attack (I knew that already and would not use the same name and contact info on my relays if i would like to do that) - It is possible for them to pin relays to specific operators without relying on the contact info or MyFamily entrys (I assume they guess that by looking at the relays names because otherwise they hadn't put a relay which is not operated by me into my warning message) - If setting up the MyFamily option is too painful for you then you can use a third party tool which is not part of the torproject - Relays names are free to choose and double entrys are okay but if someone operates an relay with a name you choosed before then you can report that operator to the bad-relays list because that operator might be malicious (Thankfully my relays are not called "Unnamed") So for what reason do i set the MyFamily option beside making a Hidden Service Guard discovery attack more easy?

DNSEL (exit relays list) service changes
by Iain Learmonth 27 Feb '20

27 Feb '20

Hi, In order to simplify the operation of the Tor DNS exit list service, which is used to identify if a connection is from a Tor exit relay, I am planning to remove the features that filter by exit policy. We recommend that if you are running an exit relay then you should dedicate an IP address to that and not be using it for other activities. As such, I do not think this is going to affect exit relay operators as exit relays are unlikely to be talking to services that their exit policy does not allow talking to anyway. Still I am asking here to make sure that this change isn't going to have any serious negative effects. Has any operator deliberately excluded anything from their exit policy in order to have TorDNSEL report to service operators that the connection is not from an exit relay? Thanks, Iain.
