VPS w/FDE suggestions?
by MRob 22 Feb '24

22 Feb '24

Hello- Im looking for <= $6/mo VPS suggestions for general non-tor server and also for tor. Some super-cheap hosts pre-install O/S and give root but I want to install O/S myself so can put in FDE. Hard to see which hosts can do this. I tried Linode before and yes, could get FDE ($5 1GB, 1CPU, 25GB, 1TB) Is IONOS any good? Can I get FDE there?? ($2 1GB, 1CPU, 10GB, ?TB) ($3 2GB, 2CPU, 80GB, ?TB) ($6 4GB, 2CPU, 160GB, ?TB) Others caught my eye: hudsonvalleyhost ($3.95 1GB, 1CPU, 25GB, 20TB) ($6.95 2GB, 2CPU, 50GB, 20TB) liquidweb ($5 1GB, 1CPU, 30GB, 1TB) digitalocean ($6 1GB, 1CPU, 25GB, 20TB) ovhcloud ($4.20 2GB, 1CPU, 20GB, 100Mbps unmetered) ($5.50 2GB, 2CPU, 40GB, 500Mbps unmetered) brownrice ($5.95 3GB, 1CPU, 10GB, unlimited)

7000 concurrent connections
by snowmanonahoe＠skiff.com 20 Feb '24

20 Feb '24

Hello all, I'm interested in running a relay. I should meet all the requirements for a guard/middle, except handling 7000 concurrent connections, which I'm unsure of. The website seems to tell me to try it and see what happens, but what exactly am I watching out for? Is the router going to fail entirely, slow down, or something else? Thanks in advance.

Hi, with Tor version 0.4.7.x being EOL, the docker image for the webtunnel bridge deserves an update, as it still uses 0.4.7.13 ! Regards, C. -- Sent with https://mailfence.com Secure and private email

Getting spammed with 404 "Consensus is too old" warnings
by snowmanonahoe＠skiff.com 16 Feb '24

16 Feb '24

Hello all, Obfs4 bridge. Here is the exact warning text: Received http status code 404 ("Consensus is too old") from server 203.0.113.45:443 while fetching consensus directory. They appear in irregular intervals between 2 and 45 minutes. The heartbeat messages indicate the relay is working fine. The IP address is the same every time, and it's not mine. Anything to worry about?
