obfs4 bridge port question
by torix＠protonmail.com 11 May '20

11 May '20

I am looking at the post install instructions here after putting up my first bridge: https://community.torproject.org/relay/setup/bridge/post-install/ and thought I would try out the bridgeline for it. Bridge obfs4 <IP ADDRESS>:<PORT> <FINGERPRINT> cert=<CERTIFICATE> iat-mode=0 I have all the parts mentioned in the text except for <PORT>. I have ExtORPort set to auto, so I never picked a port in my torrc. How do I get there from here? TIA, --Torix Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.

bridge down
by Anonforpeace 11 May '20

11 May '20

Apologies for the length but detail is important. My bridge pc's internal power supply had to be replaced, and was down for a week. After the replacement, I restarted the daemon and the tor service. Everything seemed normal except that it's not reachable from outside. No configurations have been changed. The only difference I see is a message in the log indicating that the network speed has changed/slowed down. The forwarded port in the router is the same. The torrc file has not changed. I can surf the web. Literally the only change is the replaced power supply. Any ideas? Thanks

Could this be what's causing > it to stay offline?? No. The advertised bandwidth tells you how much traffic you were able to handle in the last week. For bridges the advertised bandwidth doesn't influence how much traffic you receive. If you were offline for a week and your relay is still not reachable from the outside that's the reason why your advertised bandwidth remains low. Can you share the log lines that show your issue? Are you able to run a "normal" web service on that computer that is accessible from the internet? > -------- Original Message -------- > On May 8, 2020, 12:35 PM, Paul Geurts wrote: >> >> Option: Dynamic internal ip address so the FW rule does point to the >> right internal ip address? >> Machine has been off for a week so the lease could be expired. >> >> On Fri, May 8, 2020, 18:19 Anonforpeace <anonforpeace(a)protonmail.com> >> wrote: >>> Apologies for the length but detail is important.

Question on Unanttended Upgrades
by Keifer Bly 05 May '20

05 May '20

Hello, I am wondering, does using Unattended upgrades on Linux, when relay is configured using this configurator: https://tor-relay.co/ install tor updates automatically when they are released? Does the relay need to be restarted? Thanks very much. --Keifer

IPV6
by Dr Gerard Bulger 05 May '20

Is there any work going on which would allow Tor to work with IPV6 alone? i.e. no IPV4 OR ports etc. Gerry

Liberation Day article on running a relay
by Imre Jonk 05 May '20

05 May '20

Hi all, Today the Netherlands celebrates the 75th anniversary of our liberation from Nazi Germany by allied troops in 1945. Normally there would be festivities around the country with presence from organizations like Bits of Freedom and Amnesty, but those are cancelled because of the ongoing pandemic. That means that we celebrate from home this year, which leaves me with time to finish this article: https://www.imrejonk.nl/running-a-tor-relay/ The goal of the article is to answer frequently asked questions that aspiring relay operators might have, while linking to authoritative documentation of the Tor Project as well as this list for further information. Hope you enjoy reading it, feedback is welcome :) Imre

Feature request to aide bridge operators
by nottryingtobelame＠protonmail.com 05 May '20

05 May '20

I brought up a new bridge and thought everything was fine according to the logs (OR port accessible, check, server descriptor published, check, etc.). I didn't see any activity on it after awhile, so I tried to test it and was unable to connect. Turns out, I forgot to open the randomized server transport port. I think it would be really nice if there was a log entry confirming the OBFS4 port is open and accessible. Currently the only entry you get related to this is "[notice] Registered server transport 'obfs4' at '[::]:35375'". Wondering how the community feels about this. Thanks.

Hi, got multiple abuse in the last 2 weeks. 2 relays with 2 IP run on the server. Someone is always hammering my OR port on one IP.
