Relays operators meetup @ FOSDEM 2018 ?
by Nicolas Braud-Santoni 03 Feb '18

03 Feb '18

Hi, I might be able to organise a relays operators meetup at FOSDEM, early February. (This is contingent on me being able to come, though.) I wanted to ask whether there are other relay operators who are planning to go, and which times would work; I made a quick poll to this effect : https://framadate.org/HpPbnRwOYNmK6D5G Feel free to add yourself without filling your availability yet, if you will be around but haven't looked at the schedule yet. I know we had the yearly meetup at 34C3 quite recently, but after discussions there it seemed like a good idea to reach out to relays operators who don't necessarily attend congress, to people who don't yet run relays but have questions, and do so in a different context than congress. Best, nicoo

I do wonder why the follwoing iptables rule does fire more often than expected althought there're much less (<100) new outgoing Tor exit connections within 1 second at my Tor exit relay: /sbin/iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --destination-port 443 --syn --match connlimit --connlimit-above 2000 --connlimit-mask 0 --connlimit-daddr --match limit --limit 1/second --limit-burst 1 -j LOG -- Toralf PGP C4EACDDE 0076E94E

75 Exit Relays (48 currently running) - AS 197226 SPRINT SA (PL) - No Contact/MyFamily
by nusenu 01 Feb '18

01 Feb '18

Dear anonymous relay operator, thank you for adding so many exit relays this month in AS 197226 SPRINT SA (PL) (netblocks 185.234.218.x and 77.87.79.x) we would really like to keep these relays on the network, but they do not have any contact information and MyFamily configuration set - which is required for such big relay groups. If you are the relay operator, please set a working contactInfo and proper MyFamily configuration and drop an email to bad-relays(a)lists.torproject.org. If they do not hear from you, tor directory authorities might decide remove these relays. It would be a shame to loose so much bandwidth. thanks for your understanding, nusenu

High number of simultaneous connections from a single host
by zless 01 Feb '18

01 Feb '18

Hello everyone, I was inspecting my node and just saw that it has a very high number of connections. It jumped from the normal 6000-7000 to more than 17000 simultaneous connections. Looking at the connections with `ss` I see some hosts with over 1000 connections while the majority is usually bellow 10. Here are some stats with the IP and the associated number of simultaneous connections: 212.32.226.237 : 1531 207.244.110.200 : 1520 162.210.192.70 : 1471 207.244.70.120 : 1455 198.7.59.194 : 1454 212.32.239.28 : 1450 5.79.103.239 : 1414 5.79.103.238 : 1401 51.15.162.120 : 1379 37.48.104.231 : 56 5.79.72.66 : 26 37.48.105.240 : 25 212.83.3.154 : 25 78.46.99.242 : 23 178.63.47.145 : 18 46.4.84.142 : 17 213.133.100.55 : 17 46.4.106.87 : 15 144.76.18.214 : 14 Is it normal for a single host to produce so many connections? How do you people handle such situations? Thanks

What's the priority right now?
by Conrad Rockenhaus 01 Feb '18

I’m ready to get node #3 up right now…so what’s the priority for high speed nodes right now, exits or relays? Just wanted to know before I brought it online. This one is based in the great land of Canada :D. Thanks, Conrad

0.3.2.9 not reporting bandwidth in atlas
by Paul Templeton 31 Jan '18

Is it me or is there some issue. Since I've upgraded to version 0.3.2.9 there has been no update to the bandwidth graphs. family:867B95CACD64653FEEC4D2CEFC5C49B4620307A7 Paul 609662E824251C283164243846C035C803940378

MyFamily and ContactInfo fields are required for operators running multiple tor instances
by nusenu 31 Jan '18

31 Jan '18

Hi, I'd like to highlight that today the following two sentences requiring ContactInfo and MyFamily for operators running multiple relays got added to the tor manual page [1]: > ContactInfo **must** be set to a working address if you run more than one > relay or bridge. (Really, everybody running a relay or bridge should set > it.) > > > MyFamily **must** be set correctly if you run more than one relay or > bridge. (That is, every relay should list all the others as described > above.) The main motivation for this change have been suspicious tor relays that bad-relays@ ML decided to remove but had no way direct way to contact and so was forced to make hard decisions. With these clear statements bad-relays@ ML group can handle problematic cases better. regards, nusenu [1] https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/tree/doc/tor.1.txt#n1717 -- https://mastodon.social/@nusenu twitter: @nusenu_

Tor uses up all available memory and eventually quits
by georgemaschke＠posteo.de 31 Jan '18

31 Jan '18

I am running a Tor (0.2.5.16 on Debian Linux) relay on a VPS with one gigabyte of RAM and no swap partition or swap file. The hosting company states that it doesn't support swap in order to prolong the life of its solid state drives. Tor gradually uses up more and more memory until its percentage usage is in the high 90s. Then Tor quits. This happens within about 48 hours of launch. What can I do to resolve this problem? Thanks!

#2667 [Core Tor/Tor]: Exits should block reentry into the tor network
by nusenu 31 Jan '18

31 Jan '18

> Comment (by arma): > > I continue to think that teaching exit relays to avoid allowing exit > connections to known relays (IP:ORPort) is a good and useful step. > > We keep running across messy situations where letting somebody connect to > a relay from an exit relay's IP address turns into a security surprise. Does that mean that exits will no longer be able to run tor clients (ie. to run apt updates via tor)? -- https://mastodon.social/@nusenu twitter: @nusenu_

Attack or issue? 4 / 11 M of traffic
by Stijn Jonker 30 Jan '18

30 Jan '18

Hi All, Since around midnight CET, my relay who was happily running almost the same amount of traffic in and outbound, has dropped to 4 Meg in, 11 Meg out according to SNMP on the host. (Cap: 10M/peak 12.5M). Lots of messages like: - Channel padding timeout scheduled 304317ms in the past. - Your computer is too slow to handle this many circuit creation requests! Please consider using the MaxAdvertisedBandwidth config option or choosing a more restricted exit policy. [45685 similar message(s) suppressed in last 60 seconds] Any suggestions what to check / verify for this? 328E54981C6DDD7D89B89E418724A4A7881E3192 Thx, Stijn
