My Fallback Directory Mirror is going down
by Viktor Nikolov 04 Jan '19

04 Jan '19

Hi! My Fallback Directory Mirror B6904ADD4C0D10CDA7179E051962350A69A63243 at 81.2.209.10 is going down permanently because my provider decommissioned the data center where I had my HW. :-( I will likely host my HW at a new provider soon, but at a new IP address. Viktor

openinternet.io: Tor Relay Configuration: 'MyFamily' missing and public munin graphs
by nusenu 03 Jan '19

03 Jan '19

Hi sysop (openinternet.io), thanks for helping the tor network by running relays. please do not forget to set your "MyFamily" configuration parameter on all your relays, so Tor clients are not at risk of using your relays in multiple positions in a single circuit. https://nusenu.github.io/OrNetStats/endtoend-correlation-groups Some more background: https://hackernoon.com/some-tor-relays-you-might-want-to-avoid-5901597ad821 Let us know if you need any help with this. Also note that it is very discouraged to publish munin network traffic graphs of tor relays (5min granularity) please remove them. kind regards, nusenu -- https://twitter.com/nusenu_ https://mastodon.social/@nusenu

Hyperlink in ContactInfo
by Ilka Schulz 03 Jan '19

03 Jan '19

Hi, I wrote a little PHP-based contact page and put the link to the /ContactInfo/ of my relay's /torrc/. I added some HTML tags (/<a href=...> ... </a>/) to let Tor Metrics show the link as such; but, of course, the string is sanitized properly, so the /Contact/ field on Tor Metrics shows the literal HTML tags. Is there any chance to show the hyperlink on Tor Metrics, so that visitors can directly click on it? The same would be interesting for clear text email addresses. Regards, Ilka

Compatibility issue with OpenSSL 1.1.1a
by Nick Mathewson 02 Jan '19

02 Jan '19

Hi, folks! You should know that there is a compatibility issue between Tor and OpenSSL 1.1.1a, when TLS 1.3 is in use. Only OpenSSL 1.1.1a is affected; other OpenSSL versions are not. The effect here is that Tor relays using this version of OpenSSL will not be able to negotiate TLS 1.3 connections with one another. This is caused by a regression in OpenSSL 1.1.1a's implementation of tls13_hkdf_expand() function. For more information, see https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/28616 We're looking into possible mitigations. best wishes, -- Nick

300mbps FreeBSD Tor relay on HPE MicroServer Gen10 (AMD X3421)
by Neel Chauhan 02 Jan '19

02 Jan '19

Hi tor-relays@, I have a Tor middle relay NeelTorRelay2 hosted on a 50 megabit symmetrical Verizon FiOS (FTTH/GPON) connection. The server used is a HPE MicroServer Gen10 (AMD X3421 quad-core version, 8GB DDR4 RAM). This relay can be seen here: https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/D5B8C38539C509380767D4DE20DE… My relay runs FreeBSD 11.2 and Tor runs in a "jail". I am using AESNI and Tor is configured to use OpenSSL cryptodev. Here's the situation: I will be moving apartments in a few days, and Verizon is upgrading my broadband speed to 300 megabits symmetrical. I plan to use this extra bandwidth for Tor. Right now, I set my RelayBandwidthRate to my line speed (yes really!), and plan to increase this setting according to my new speed. I know that Tor is not optimized for multicore CPUs, and that's the reason why I am posting here. My question is that can Tor work on the HPE MicroServer Gen10 with the AMD X3421 (or one with a similar computer of any brand with a similar performance CPU, whether desktop or server, Intel or AMD) with all 300 megabits to a single instance or would I need two instances (each at 150 megabits each)? Looking at my top usage, I average at about 20-30% CPU usage on my 50 megabit relay. Also keep in mind that: * I am using my own router instead of Verizon's and I plan to keep doing so * I want to keep using FreeBSD on my server and do not want to run Linux * I would prefer to have a single instance, but can use multiple if I have to * When I move, I will upgrade my server to FreeBSD 12.0 * My server supports hardware accelerated AES and SHA. I am using this on FreeBSD with the aesni kernel module and Tor with "HardwareAccel 1" and "AccelName cryptodev" Thank You, Neel Chauhan === https://www.neelc.org/

Hello, Do I have to worry about those many warns on my log file? [warn] Tried to establish rendezvous on non-OR circuit with purpose Acting as rendezvous (pending) I found some old posts on this warn, but I don't understand if it is a security issue and what I have to do to fix this. Someone could tell me if there is something that I can do to fix this and improve security of my Debian -derived machine? Thanks Gigi
