Atlas: Short term bandwidth charts missing ?
by mistral.relay＠posteo.net 28 Jan '17

28 Jan '17

Maybe it's just me - but I tried three different browsers and usually can't see the short term usage charts on Atlas, i.e. 3-days and 1 week bandwidth charts are usually just blank. Two random examples where I can't see the charts (but there is data; monthly and yearly charts showing up quite well): https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/F3F8B1A79C6781609B443CF0C1A130C85EB60… https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/7D278652898C38878F51D93969EB88C497BFB… Sorry, if this is my local issue but I just can't find the reason for it...

Please enable IPv6 on your relay!
by Moritz Bartl 28 Jan '17

28 Jan '17

Hi! We still have a depressingly low number of relays that support IPv6 (currently only ~120 of ~1900 relays). If your host supports IPv6, please enable it, especially if you run an exit! This has to be done explicitly. https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/IPv6RelayHowto In short, you add: ORPort [IPv6::address]:port IPv6Exit 1 ExitPolicy reject6 *:* (or a more open exit policy respectively) Thanks! -- Moritz Bartl https://www.torservers.net/

Which is best for Tor: libevent v.2.0.22 or v2.1.8?
by Steve Snyder 26 Jan '17

26 Jan '17

With the long-awaited v2.1.8 of LibEvent recently released, this brings up the question: which is more suitable for use with contemporary versions of Tor, the older v2.0.22-stable or the shiny-new v2.1.8-stable? Thanks.

Fwd: US-CERT Avalanche Notification INC000010
by Monkey Pet 24 Jan '17

24 Jan '17

I received the following email from my ISP, the IP belongs to the tor exit node. I am wondering if the DHS is sending it out to all tor exit nodes? We received a notice from Homeland Security that a device using your current IP address is infected the Avalanche Malware. The full details are below. Please run antivirus and network security software on all your devices immediately. Thank you, ISP A trusted third party notified the Department of Homeland Security United States National Cybersecurity & Communications Integration Center (NCCIC) that one or more machines on your network was infected with malware associated with the Avalanche botnet infrastructure during December 2016. Avalanche is a large global network hosting infrastructure used by cyber criminals to conduct phishing and malware distribution campaigns and money mule schemes. A system infected with Avalanche associated malware may be subject to malicious activity including the theft of user credentials and other sensitive data, such as banking and credit card information. Some of the malware has the capability to encrypt user files and demand a ransom be paid by the victim to regain access to those files. In addition, the malware may allow criminals unauthorized remote access to the infected computer. Infected systems could be used to conduct distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. For additional information, please see the following US-CERT Technical Alert (TA16-336A): https://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/alerts/TA16-336A

Re: [tor-relays] 'MyFamily' .... torworld.org
by Paul 20 Jan '17

Hey, why don’t you just explain to the relay mailing list what it is all about..? Why are you different to "abuse [AT] torworld.org " and where are you probably the same ? What is your idea (business model) behind , why are supporting Tor in such a heavy way ? What are your driving forces...? Its not a must, but it would be less suspicious for somebody with you size! Thanks and Regards - to whom ever - Paul Am 19.01.2017 um 05:22 schrieb e: > Thanks for the heads up Paul.

Middle relay still an useful contribution?
by Ortez 20 Jan '17

20 Jan '17

Hello tor relay operators, I'm thinking about creating another tor middle relay, but i'm not sure if this is still a good contribution to the tor network. When i'm looking at some of the relay stats out there, there are so many middle relays, which getting almost no traffic. If i purchase a server, i want to make sure the money i will spend every month will make a difference. I know, an exit node may be the better option and those will get a lot of traffic, but i'm not very happy with the consequences which i may face. It's also very difficult to find a provider, which is cool with an exit node. Whats your opinion?

Proton now takes Tor
by Gumby 19 Jan '17

19 Jan '17

Nice to finally see this... "The encrypted email provider announced Thursday it will allow its users to access the site through the Tor anonymity service. The aim is to allow its more than 2 million users access the provider by taking "active measures to defend against state-sponsored censorship," such as government-mandated blocks at the internet provider level. Users of the Tor Browser can now access the site at https://protonirockerxow.onion. "
