Moving my obfs4 bridge from tor expert bundle to Debian, and have some questions. Thanks.

Hi all, So I am switching the OBFS4 bridge I was running via Tor Expert Bundle on Windows 10 over to running it via Debian app for Windows 10. This app is on the Windows store at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/debian/9msvkqc78pk6?activetab=pivot:overv… Essentially, it is an app that lets you run Linux packages on Windows. I made the switch so that I could keep tor and obfs4 up to date using unattended upgrades. However, for some odd reason, despite the fact I backed up the tor identity keys and pasted them into the keys directory when I moved over, the bridge is still generating new keys on startup. I copied the key files from my expert bundle bridge to /var/lib/tor/keys directory in the Linu terminal, I copied all of the files. It’s a bridge so no big deal I guess, but wonder why that is happening. https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/780F4E3ADBC574A63CE8155C0911… And, I tested to see of unattended upgrades was working correctly after configuring it with these instructions: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TorRelayGuide/DebianUbuntuUpd… And got this the attached photo as a result, does this mean it is keeping tor and obfs4 up to date? Thanks very much. tor update test.PNG <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1c5TinBlApx5YuObiwt8pkl9w_F74O0JL/view?usp=…> --Keifer

BadExit

Oh the shame! Never had that tag on my exit before. I assume it was due to a bad boy attacking an IP, pointed out by my ISP, and the ISP put my server "under mitigation". I assume some filtering, which of course would have looked bad to TOR users. I did not spot the ISP's email for 30 minutes, but then I was able to block the offended IP. Within minutes of doing that the ISP said attack stop and my server was removed from mitigation. However the next day badexit tag on my exit and remains there How long does the tag last? I go to my other, overseas exit, a family member, to see the tag is aslo applied there to. Do family members get tarred with the same brush? I have turned both into relays for the time being. Or have I got this wrong. Is it a DNS thing? Are no some DNS providers causing issues forcing the tag? I am not using opendns. Gerry

tor on Centos version question
by torix＠protonmail.com 24 Mar '20

24 Mar '20

I can see that my Debian relay went from 0.4.2.6 to 0.4.2.7 a few days ago automatically with auto updates set up. However, my hosted relay, which runs on Centos 7, is still at version 0.3.5.8. I am using the epel repo version. Is that okay? Or should I have added a tor repo? TIA, --Torix Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.

Re: [tor-relays] Dirport9030
by Nuno Rego 24 Mar '20

24 Mar '20

As I said, I'm still learning. I have a server at Hetzner with a monthly limit of 20TB, and I am trying to adjust the speed so that it does not exceed 20TB at the end of the month. The problem is that whenever I place the BandwidthRate and BandwidthBurst above 10MB I lose the Guard, HSdir and V2Dir flags. On the page https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#search/TugaOnion I see that DirPort is 0 instead of 9030. I have the BandwidthRate and BandwidthBurst at 9MB and everything is fine, but I will reach the end of the month and I only spent about 10TB. Cumprimentos; TugaOnion -- Securely sent with Tutanota.
