Hello, yesterday I got within a minute three times the above warning in my log file on Tor 0.2.7.6. Could somebody please explain to me what it means and how to solve? Is there a source where I can possibly find answers on this and other warnings? Thanks in advance Paul

what's up(down) with gablemoo?
by starlight.2016q1＠binnacle.cx 21 Jan '16

Lately 'gabelmoo' had been bouncing down and up like a ping-pong ball. Because gabelmoo is a BWauth (of which only five exist) as well as a normal authority, the impact is greater than if it did not participate in bandwidth measurement. Disrupts the consensus median. Does anyone know anything about it? Thanks

Location of private key on Android?
by Christian Andersen 21 Jan '16

21 Jan '16

Hey guys, I'm running Orbot as a relay on my otherwise unused mobile. It works great! https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/B47A49120A51D28A6191BE9A67F102AA96F5F… But in case I ever need to move the relay to a real computer, or start using the mobile, I'll need the private key, but I can't seem to find it. My phone is Sony Xperia ZR, unrooted, running Android 5.1.1, 10.7.A.0.228 (possibly a Sony version number). Orbot is version 15.1.0-RC-2 (Tor 0.2.7.5-020120160125) I just updated from Google Play Store - I realize the version above (from the About-menu) doesn't reflect the Atlas-info. I don't know why. Root\Android\data shows no folders related to Orbot, I have unchecked "Hide system files" in the file managers I downloaded from Google Play store. - File Manager from ZenUI - File Manager from SAND STUDIO and - File Commander - File Manager from MobiSystems - - Which requires Premium to view hidden files(!). Any help is appreciated. Maybe i just need a non-sucky file manager? C A

arm /flags gives unknown
by Dr. Who 21 Jan '16

Since some months I monitored my tor instance via this one liner: echo "/info" | /usr/bin/arm -p | /bin/grep flags but it seems after updating to 0.2.7.6 it only gives my unknown as result. Has something changed the communication between tor and arm? Even manually I can only get this answer: >>> /info TeamTardis (330CD3DB6AD266DC70CDB512B036957D03D9BC59) address: 185.100.84.212:443 (ro) published: 06:28:21 2016-01-20 os: Linux version: 0.2.7.6 flags: unknown exit policy: reject 1-65535 contact: Team Tardis <drwho(a)posteo.is>

Running a relay, only, in win7
by je suis 19 Jan '16

19 Jan '16

Hello all I'm sorry if I'm writing to the wrong list. Until recently and since some months back, I ran a tor relay under Linux, during daytime (only have my laptop), with 2.5/5MBps speed. Not much, it took an hour or two to really start, but it worked, I hope it helped a bit. Now I find I need to spend time in win7 more and I'd like to keep on running a relay, but I can't seem to get tor to work. Since the FAQ only says what Linux users should do and all my searches turned out to have Vidalia involved, I don't know how to make this work, so I'm asking for help: is there a place where I can read, or could you tell me what I need to do to run a relay in win7? Thank you in advance, Vlad

Is atlas.torproject.org broken or changed? It seems to show only 1 month and longer graphs now.

I'd guess a bug in the version update script.

Relay 'Binnacle' experienced outages due to a loose fiber-option junction in the overhead wires that has been repaired. I believe it would make the list if not for this and do not foresee further trouble. Has a static IP and another Verizon FiOS relay qualifies, a positive reflection on the network. Available if desired. Can configure IPv6 on the HE tunnel here if helpful. $ python updateFallbackDirs.py DEBUG:root:Failed to get an ipv6 address for 4F0DB7E687FC7C0AE55C8F243DA8B0EB27FBF1F2.
