Atlas is now Relay Search!
by Iain R. Learmonth 16 Nov '17

16 Nov '17

Hi All, You may notice that Atlas has a new look, and is no longer called Atlas. For now no URLs have changed but this is part of work to merge this tool into the Tor Metrics website. The style is determined by the Tor Metrics Style, and modifications have been made to fit this. The decision was made to deploy these changes before the actual integration into metrics.torproject.org to allow for other issues to be worked on. This was a big change and it was tricky maintaining two branches of the codebase. Issues should still be reported on the Metrics/Atlas component in the Tor trac if they arise. When we come to full integration, URLs will change but there will be a period where we maintain redirects to prevent any URLs from breaking while waiting for being updated. Thanks, Iain.

Hello All, I use to review my bridges as well as my relays on Atlas. Now I don't find my bridges on nyx. Is this something I'm doing wrong?

How do I use a different IP address? I only got one. Should I pipe the traffic through a proxy (somewhere else)? Yeah, I though about to use the Tor browser but for my girlfriend I think not.

URLs that are supposed to show node details don't work either, only the broken query page is shown. I tested this both with existing Atlas bookmarks and URLs copied over from Chrome. -Ralph

Re: [tor-relays] my IP got blocked

Sadly I run a only a relay therefore this is a troublesome action. So if more admins do this, I could be in trouble. After reading all the answers, there seem to be only two solutions: 1. hoping that my IP get unbanned 2. shutdown the relay (3. surf over a proxy or VPN) Kind regards Kalle >> Hi everyone, >> >> >> I`ve got an issue with my local IP address.

PSA: exclude /var/lib/tor/diff-cache/ from your backups
by Roman Mamedov 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

Hello, Turns out that dir is highly variable, and judging from the name, also disposable. In my case it was responsible for about 20 GB of churn over a month, i.e. it took 25 GB to keep incremental backups of two Tor nodes with only 2 GB each in root FS (and I was wondering what's going on with my backup location's free space...) Dear Tor project: this is very bad style to keep that in /var/lib, content with properties like this must go into /var/cache/ [1], where it would be automatically excluded from backups by default policies in most backup systems. [1] http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#VARCACHEAPPLICATIONCACHEDATA -- With respect, Roman

Tor 0.3.2.4-alpha - debian packages available (important for fast exits)
by nusenu 13 Nov '17

If you are running a fast tor exit relay this fix is especially relevant for you: Nick Mathewson: > o Major bugfixes (exit relays, DNS): > - Fix an issue causing DNS to fail on high-bandwidth exit nodes, > making them nearly unusable. Fixes bugs 21394 and 18580; bugfix on > 0.1.2.2-alpha, which introduced eventdns. Thanks to Dhalgren for > identifying and finding a workaround to this bug and to Moritz, > Arthur Edelstein, and Roger for helping to track it down and > analyze it. Debian packages are available via deb.torproject.org now. If you want to stay with stable releases have a look at the following resolv.conf options: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/DnsResolver#Tuningeventdn… -- https://mastodon.social/@nusenu twitter: @nusenu_

New on relays and Tor
by Alfredo Bollati 13 Nov '17

Hi all I just started investigating and getting involved with Tor project. I have configured my router to port forwarding on one of its ports. Is there a way or some steps to follow in order to confirm that my bandwidth is being used by the relay? I have checked and the port it's open. Thanks -- Alfredo Bollati
