Question on bridge hibernation
by Keifer Bly 18 Aug '24

18 Aug '24

Hi, So for my bridge at https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/4D6E3CA2110FC36D3106C86940A1… Is set to hibernate once it reaches a certain traffic level (this is to prevent massive charges to my VPS). Now that is in hibernation, when will it start again, and how would this effect how it's distributed? Are bridges that are hibernating removed from relay search? Mew to hibernation, thanks.

Recent Tor versions not reloading config on / ignoring HUP kill signal.
by George Hartley 10 Aug '24

10 Aug '24

Hi, I think this started with release 0.4.8.10, but both of my Tor relays no longer reload their config when doing for example: - systemctl reload tor@exit Here is the relevant part of the unit file: > [Unit]Description=Anonymizing overlay network for TCP > After=syslog.target network.target nss-lookup.target > > [Service] > Type=notify > NotifyAccess=all > ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/tor -f /etc/tor/torrc_%i --verify-config > ExecStart=/usr/bin/tor -f /etc/tor/… [View More]

Directory authorities not giving weight to a relay
by smoothop＠tutanota.de 03 Jun '24

03 Jun '24

Greetings everyone! Almost three months ago I have set up my first node. Everything seemed to be going great at first and as documented in the tor lifecycle blog post. A few days after being set up the weight drastically dropped to around twenty. This seemed a bit odd since that same blog post doesn't mention anything about weight dropping so much, but it does about bandwidth, ao I just shrugged it off and assumed it was normal. Anyway, fast forward to today, and the weight hasn't really … [View More]

Tor relays Bazinga and JPsi2 to be shut down
by Random Tor Node Operator 03 Jun '24

03 Jun '24

Hi all, I have been operating the relays - Bazinga B198C0B4B8C551F174FBB841A172616E3DB3124D - JPsi2 F6EC46933CE8D4FAD5CCDAA8B1C5A377685FC521 for about 10 years. The hosting provider stops providing their current service and their successor services are not Tor-friendly anymore. Hence, these relays will be shut down by June 2 2024. My third relay - SafeAndEffective A508096AA0C899F4E6ECD1D9C35037B89008BCBA is unaffected.

We need to talk about the latest DDoS affecting the Tor network
by koizoi 25 May '24

25 May '24

For several weeks now, users have been complaining (see https://www.reddit.com/r/TOR/comments/1cnmsdz/tor_extremely_slow_lately/, https://forum.torproject.org/t/is-there-currently-a-major-ddos-affecting-th…, etc) about degraded performance (slow speeds, timeouts) when using Tor, both to access v3 onion sites and clearnet websites. In my personal experience, most v3 onion services are responding so slowly that they're completely unusable. it turns out that's it not just people's imaginations, … [View More]

disable conflux on exit relay?
by applied-privacy.net 13 May '24

13 May '24

Hello, conflux appears to be the primary source of bugs and crashes for us in the past few months and there have been numerous issues related to it on gitlab. from the tor manual page: ConfluxEnabled 0|1|auto If this option is set to 1, general purpose traffic will use Conflux which is traffic splitting among multiple legs (circuits). Onion services are not supported at the moment. Default value is set to "auto" meaning the consensus is used to decide unless set. (… [View More]

response to zimmer family hitting max descriptor size
by code9n＠pm.me 07 May '24

07 May '24

Hi, re. # Questions & Answers * Q: zimmer family hitting max descriptor size https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/tor/-/issues/40837 Any news on a possible solution to this ongoing issue? tl;dr: more powerful relays rather than large numbers of them. *Please note I have very little idea what I'm talking about here and there's probably something I don't know about or just don't understand. If a family has a very large number of exit relays but the capacity of each one is not that great … [View More]
