A relays primary entry guards
by [REDACTED] 28 Dec '19

28 Dec '19

Hi, from time to time i see that message in the logs of my guard relay: 21:09:06 [NOTICE] I learned some more directory information, but not enough to build a circuit: We're missing descriptors for 1/2 of our primary entry guards (total microdescriptors: 6270/6294). That's ok. We will try to fetch missing descriptors soon. 21:09:06 [NOTICE] Our directory information is no longer up-to-date enough to build circuits: We're missing descriptors for 1/2 of our primary entry guards (total microdescriptors: 6270/6294). That's ok. We will try to fetch missing descriptors soon. The message itself is clear to me and i usually dont get any errors related to that but i would like to know for what does a (guard) relay has primary entry guards? I thought only clients need guards so what is a relay doing with primary entry guards?

toranon (977)?!?
by Kenneth Freeman 27 Dec '19

Messing around with my new computer I get this: [warn] /run/tor is not owned by this user, but by toranon (977). Perhaps you are running Tor as the wrong user? Duckduckgo displays hentai results. Go figure.

Tor exit relay not publishing sever on metrics?
by John Csuti 26 Dec '19

26 Dec '19

Hello, I have ran a exit relay for 3 days now with fingerprint 2895F832741B692363DA7B0574688599E8B89369, and still have not shown in the metrics? is there something I'm doing wrong? On start up i do get this "Self-testing indicates your ORPort is reachable from the outside. Excellent. Publishing server descriptor." I was also wondering maybe I screwed something up in the config I could send a copy of my config if needed. Thanks, John Csuti Thanks, John Csuti ‭(216) 236-3309‬ https://www.coolcomputers.info/

Hey, so my bridge at https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/386E99371B8CD938248940B754F1… Is suddenly not getting the stable flag despite having been running for weeks on end, was this flag removed for bridges? Also, is it possible to have a bridge running on more than one port? Thanks very much. -- --Keifer

Tor 0.4.2.5 - Unable to Run Tor Relay on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS VPS
by David Croft 23 Dec '19

23 Dec '19

Hi, I'm unable to start newly setup/configured guard/middle relay Tor version 0.4.2.5 after setup & configuration of Tor on an Ubuntu 18.04 VPS server. I'm already running a couple of Guard relays on Ubuntu 18.04 with the same VPS provider who allows for Tor Guard/Middle relays. I've followed a blueprint for setting up the Tor relay on Tor 0.4.2.5 which worked no problem on 6 other relays I've configured & operated without issue in the last month on Ubuntu 18.04 Tor version 0.4.1.6. I've carefully reviewed the steps I've taken to ensure I haven't made any errors during the setup/configuration process. The issue described here is accompanied by the arrival of 0.4.2.5 & this is, in fact, the first time I've tried to set up a Tor relay on 0.4.2.5. I've also included a screenshot that highlights the issues. I realize there might very well be other possible reasons for these errors, so I keep an open mind & will be grateful for any support or advice.

Tor-bridge list
by lists＠for-privacy.net 19 Dec '19

19 Dec '19

Hello, I put a bridge on an unused server. Currently listed on Tor-metrics. https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/48022B9A9402CB6D9918C03B8AFD… But the IP per mail will soon have the "bad guy's". That would be too bad. With 2 Tor-instances, the server has reached 80-100 MiB/s Does the Tor-project have any other more secret bridge lists? Another question: Is it useful to offer other transport protocols than obfs4? -- ╰_╯ Ciao Marco!
