Arch Linux packages?
by Eric Hocking 05 Oct '14

Hi all, I looked through the Arch Linux repository, and wasn’t able to find any packages for Tor or arm. Does anyone use archlinux that could create a package for Tor and arm?

French Flag
by Sebastian Urbach 02 Oct '14

02 Oct '14

Hi, I saw that a lot of services around tor are using a bright blue in the french flag. It should be a dark blue like the one used in the Dutch flag for example ... The following services are concerned: Atlas Globe Compass Oniontip (already fixed, thanks Donncha) If there are more services around that i don't know about then i would like to ask if someone could check them as well. It hurts a bit to see the Tricolore like that ... Thanks -- Mit freundlichen Grüssen / Sincerely yours Sebastian Urbach ----------------------------------------- Definition of TOR: 10% luck, 20% skill, 15% concentrated power of will, 5% pleasure, 50% pain and 100% reason to remember the name! -----------------------------------------

When I restart tor with that option enabled I get: " 2014-10-02 00:52:38,199 [WARNING] Obfsproxy (version: 0.2.3) starting up. 2014-10-02 00:52:38,199 [INFO] Entering server managed-mode. 2014-10-02 00:52:38,200 [INFO] No transports launched. Nothing to do." I noticed it says version 0.2.3 starting up. $obfsproxy --version gives me O.2.12 Why is tor starting the old version? This must be the reason it is not working since scramblesuit was only rolled into obfsproxy in version 0.2.6 . How do I get $sudo service tor start To start obfsproxy v0.2.12?

Scramblesuit
by Jan Nielsen 02 Oct '14

02 Oct '14

Hi. I am trying to enable Scramblesuit for my bridge. I am wondering if there is a method to verify that it is working, similar to how obfs3 shows "registered server transport". There is not much out there about scramblesuit but there is one mention that the log should show " registered server transport scramble suit". Tor version is 0.2.5.8-rc Obfsproxy version 0.2.12 ExtORPort auto ServerTransportPlugin obfs3,scramblesuit exec /usr/bin/obfsproxy managed Oct 01 03:03:28.000 [notice] Registered server transport 'obfs3' at ' 0.0.0.0:39491' Is there something wrong with my config? Thank you.

Failed to load Scramblesuit
by Christian 01 Oct '14

01 Oct '14

Dear fellows, maybe you can help out. And maybe I missed some information on my Tor version. I run an obfuscated bridge (Tor 0.2.5.8-rc (git-eaa9ca1011e73a9d)) on Ubuntu 12.04 and wanted to enable the scramblesuit pluggable transport. When changing my line in torrc to ServerTransportPlugin obfs3,scramblesuit exec /usr/bin/obfsproxy managed I get the following warning in the logs: [warn] The communication stream of managed proxy '/usr/bin/obfsproxy' is 'closed'. Most probably the managed proxy stopped running. This might be a bug of the managed proxy, a bug of Tor, or a misconfiguration. Please enable logging on your managed proxy and check the logs for errors. [notice] Failed to terminate process with PID '18171' ('Success'). Obfs3-only works like a charm without complaints. (ServerTransportPlugin obfs3 exec /usr/bin/obfsproxy managed) I set my ExtORPort to "auto", pyptlib is installed, packages from obfsproxy and pyptlib are in the right locations and I use the shipped apparmor profile for Tor for Ubuntus. Even if I stop apparmor service, I don't get better results. I thought it was a permissions problem somehow as --log-min-severity=debug --log-file=/home/me/obfs.log won't even create the logfile so that obfsproxy fails from the very beginning. But, as I said, obfs3-only works without problems. Any ideas? Thank you in advance. Kind regards christian

Bandwidth not being used by Tor on Gigabit dedicated server

Hi, My Tor node is not utilizing the bandwidth available to it. I have tried setting RelayBandwidthRate to various values with no change whatsoever in bandwidth usage. Running for 5 months with 99.77% uptime: https://globe.torproject.org/#/relay/1F6598EA09A82E7A5D3131E71A97C806E6FDA4… My node has used a maximum of about 4MB/s or about 40Mbps.

Hey fellow ops, Just an FYI today that Icetor lost two of it's fastest two exits that were hosted with Greenqloud here in Iceland, obviously would not recommend them as an ISP in the future regarding exit hosting. About two weeks ago we got notification that abuse notices were breaking their EULA and would be the reason for the termination. Today they shut down the nodes about 5 hours earlier than indicated, no ability to do data migration or save keys. Needless to say I'm not very happy with the entire situation and how it was handled. We'll soldier on with our remaining two exits and ifanyone is thinking of spinning up an exit in the future Icetor is still able to handle abuse contact for the relay. -Jason
