don't publish detailed metrics about your relays

Don't publish detailed metrics about your relays. Here is a good example what NOT to do with your relays: http://51.77.135.89:19999/#menu_net_submenu_eno1;theme=slate http://51.75.144.43:19999/#menu_net_submenu_eno1;theme=slate The relay guide has detailed guidelines on what granularity is considered safe. -- https://mastodon.social/@nusenu

"Our IP Address has changed from" log lines
by torix＠protonmail.com 17 Aug '20

17 Aug '20

Dear list, I get this on just one of my relays - "Our IP Address has changed from xxx toxxx; rebuilding descriptor (source: METHOD=GETHOSTNAME HOSTNAME=xxx). Aug 11 00:33:54.000 [notice] Your IP address seems to have changed to xxx (METHOD=GETHOSTNAME HOSTNAME=xxx). Updating." This is 99% of my tor log. What's going on? Is this normal for a middle relay and somewhere I've set the log level to be too sensitive? My torrc log line: Log notice file /var/log/tor/notices.log # location to log … [View More]

need help with riseup account
by potlatch 14 Aug '20

14 Aug '20

Hello server operators, I have a favor to ask of someone with a riseup.net email account. I have an account but screwed something up changing passwords. Riseup won't/can't help me fix the problem or issue new access codes. My anonymous email account is useless. This would not be a problem but I travel (pre and post Covid) to countries where I have exit relays. [1-9] Exit relays in some of these countries are problematic--it's why I put them in hard-to-reach places. I would like to re-establish … [View More]

Guard flag got removed after only 48 hours of downtime.
by William Kane 11 Aug '20

11 Aug '20

Please discard the previous (empty) email, it was an error on my end. Today, I noticed that my guard flag has been taken away: https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/47E1157F7DA6DF80EC00D745D73A… Does this have to do with the recent two, major downtime's of the relay? While I wasn't monitoring the server, the kernel decided (or rather oom-killer did) to reap the tor process for consuming too much memory (keep in mind, this is a virtual machine with only 1GB of RAM which running … [View More]
