Generally openssl security fixes do not change API/ABIs. In this case I built the newer release without export ciphers, thought that seems an unlikely cause. Perhaps it was memory corruption. Relay is running on non-ECC CPU, though the system has never exhibited any problems related to memory corruption in the past. Network equipment unlikely--Intel server-grade NIC. Has been running fine since the restart so I'll have to let it go unless it comes back at a future date.

The Address configuration parameter is only necessary if tor can't auto-detect its own external IP. When tor downloads the directory, it uses the external IP that the authority / mirror supplies as its external IP. Does your tor instance download the directory, and correctly guess the external IP? teor teor2345 at gmail dot com pgp 0xABFED1AC https://gist.github.com/teor2345/d033b8ce0a99adbc89c5 teor at blah dot im OTR C3C57B23 349825DE 929A1DEF C3531C25 A32287ED

Unreachable ORPort - Potential ISP block?
by CJ Barlow 05 Apr '15

05 Apr '15

I'm attempting to run a Relay but I haven't been able to get it the ORPort to be confirm as reachable. I've tried lots of things but I'm hoping there is something I haven't thought of yet that can make this work! I've got a 50Mbps symmetrical connection (without data caps) that I would love to have the Tor network utilize. Hardware info: - Asus RT-N66U running DD-WRT - Raspberry Pi 2 running Raspbian - SanDisk MicroSDHC UHS-I 16GB Here are all the steps I've taken: - Formatted the MicroSDHC with Win32DiskImager. - Followed the Instructables Raspberry Pi Tor Relay configuration guide. - Port forwarded via NAT/QoS then Port Forwarding. Protocol is set to TCP, double-checked IP is what is assigned to Raspberry Pi 2 and enable box is checked. - ORPort set to 9001. Also changed ORPort to 443, did "sudo service tor reload" and changed the port in the forwarding section of my router. - Tried router DMZ for Raspberry Pi LAN IP. I would really like to get this to work, if possible. I can't run an Exit node on my connection but since my connection sits unused for most of the day it should be put to good relay use.

Just to update, I got it to work! :-) I added a Dynamic DNS to the router and once it was established I reloaded Tor. It immediately found the ORPort and then did the bandwidth self-test. ("Self-testing indicates your ORPort is reachable from the outside. Excellent. Publishing server descriptor.") I haven't seen anything else in the log, yet.

Your relay is not yet published so it cannot be viewed in https://atlas.torproject.org Can you connect locally with nc/netcat/ncat? You should run 'netstat -nt' to check whether you get ESTABLISHED since netcat won't say anything if it's timing-out or connected. As you are behind a NAT you need the Address configuration parameter in `torrc` to tell outside systems the public IP.

moira1 bwauth reporting double?
by starlight.2015q2＠binnacle.cx 05 Apr '15

05 Apr '15

I find it a bit odd that moria1 is reporting exactly double the bandwidth for the relay here: Binnacle 4F0DB7E687FC7C0AE55C8F243DA8B0EB27FBF1F2 gabelmoo Bandwidth=7385 Measured=5810 tor26 Bandwidth=7385 Measured=6090 moria1 Bandwidth=7385 Measured=18700 GuardFraction=47 longclaw Bandwidth=7385 Measured=6140 Actual bandwidth is 75 MBits or 9375 KBytes, so the other auth's look good. Anyone have any idea? Switched to VZ FiOS about a month ago and I also note that the measured rate has gone up considerably and the bwauths have gone from providing disparate measurements to being mostly in sync (aside from moria1). I wonder at the cause of improvement and suspect it's one of 1) ongoing "Bandwidth Authority Renovation" https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/13630 2) Verizon improving their core network --I've seen some big routing and ping latency changes in PingPlotter 3) sliding window average applied by the bwauth's to prevent rapid ascension of new and potentially evil relays Also I see dizum has a terrible view of the relay, not even observing it as "fast" and Faravahar thinks it not "stable". Please could anyone who has some specific information comment. Thanks

Manual Relay Guide for OS X
by Zachary Alberico 04 Apr '15

04 Apr '15

Hi Tor-Relays, I wrote the following documentation after figuring out how to get my Tor relay working with a manual install. The goal is to give easy to follow and concise instructions that explain just enough to understand what you're doing. I'm trying to find out the best way to make this available - would it be possible to add it to the externally facing documentation? I'd also really appreciate it if someone looks it over and sees if I made any typos/forgot something. I can help with whatever needs to be done. Thanks, Zach ### Manually configuring a Tor Relay on OS X (Yosemite, Tor 0.2.5.11) This guide walks you through the process of configuring your very own tor relay explaining each step along the way. First install homebrew which will allow us to install the most recent version of Tor (http://brew.sh) The following command pasted into a terminal will download and install homebrew. {code} ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" {code} Once that completes we'll use homebrew to install tor with the following command. {code} brew install tor {code} At this point tor should be installed and the homebrew command should have printed the following: {quote} You will find a sample `torrc` file in /usr/local/etc/tor. It is advisable to edit the sample `torrc` to suit your own security needs: https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq#torrc After editing the `torrc` you need to restart tor. To have launchd start tor at login: ln -svn /usr/local/opt/tor/*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents Then to load tor now: launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.tor.plist {quote} Notice that it mentions the location of the torrc file (we're going to edit that next). It also explains how to have tor run at startup and how to start it now. Before we go ahead and run those commands let's create the location logging is supposed to go since for some reason it doesn't already exist. These commands are creating directories. {code} mkdir /usr/local/Cellar/tor/0.2.5.11/var mkdir /usr/local/Cellar/tor/0.2.5.11/var/log mkdir /usr/local/Cellar/tor/0.2.5.11/var/log/tor {code} Similarly create the following for the DataDirectory if it doesn't already exist. {code} mkdir /usr/local/Cellar/tor/0.2.5.11/var/lib mkdir /usr/local/Cellar/tor/0.2.5.11/var/lib/tor {code} Next let's edit the torrc.sample file and save it as torrc. To open its location in a finder window use the following command: {code} open /usr/local/etc/tor {code} Then open the torrc.sample file in your chosen editor (text edit works fine). Read through the file and try to understand what each of the options are, at a minimum we're going to want to uncomment and use the following options. {code} #Sets the logging location Log notice file /usr/local/Cellar/tor/0.2.5.11/var/log/tor/notices.log #Sets the DataDirectory DataDirectory /usr/local/Cellar/tor/0.2.5.11/var/lib/tor #If you're only configuring this as a relay SocksPort 0 #Your main ORPort ORPort 9001 #Name of your relay Nickname supercoolrelay #Bandwidth limits RelayBandwidthRate 5000 KB RelayBandwidthBurst 10000 KB #Way for the tor project to conact you ContactInfo Random Person <a special email you should make just for this>@gmail.com #What port to advertise for directory connections DirPort 9030 #If you don't want to run an exit (if you're able to run an exit please use the file default!) ExitPolicy reject *:* # no exits allowed {code} Once you've uncommented/edited those lines save the file as torrc and exit. Now it's time for an oversimplified and possibly inaccurate lesson about Networking. You are probably sitting at a home network at a computer connected wirelessly or wired to a router which is connected to a modem which is connecting you to the outside Internet. Your entire network connection has one IPv4 address facing the outside world. Your router then uses NAT which stands for Network Address Translation to remap traffic to the unique IP addresses you have per device on your local intranet. When we configure 'port forwarding' we're telling your router to take the ports we need on your computer's local IP behind the router and forward them to the ports exposed to the real internet as part of this NAT process. In this case this allows the tor relay we've configured to receive incoming connections on the port we've specified. Unfortunately this process is different for every router, but in order to provide an example I'll show what the changes look like for an Apple Airport Extreme and hopefully you'll be able to translate them to your own router's settings. First though we need to know your computer's local IP. Open System Preferences Click Network Click Advanced Click TCP/IP In this window you should see "IPv4 Address: XX.X.X.X" That's the address we need. Next open Airport Utilty (this is to configure port forwarding on an Apple Airport Extreme router) Click on the Airport Extreme Click Edit on the tooltip that pops up Click Network Notice the Port Settings Box, Click + Add the following settings: Description: Tor Ports Public UDP Ports: 9001, 9030 Public TCP Ports: 9001, 9030 Private IP Address: XX.X.X.X (this is the IP we found in Network) Priave UDP Ports: 9001, 9030 Public TCP Ports: 9001, 9030 Click Save Click Update (note the router will reboot) Note: This example shows the default ports we configured in our torrc, if you need to or decide to use different ports you'd have to configure the forwarding differently. I think only the TCP settings matter here, but I ended up setting both while trying to get this to work. Now we can set tor to launch on startup as well as start it right now with these two commands. {code} ln -svn /usr/local/opt/tor/*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.tor.plist {code} Note: If you make changes to torrc in the future you need to restart tor. You can restart tor with the following command. {code} pkill -sighup tor {code} Now let's check out the logs and verify things are working. This command will show the end of the log and any new lines as they appear. {code} tail -f /usr/local/Cellar/tor/0.2.5.11/var/log/tor/notices.log {code} In a few mintues you should see the following lines if things are working: 19:29:38 [NOTICE] Self-testing indicates your ORPort is reachable from the outside. Excellent. Publishing server descriptor. 19:29:36 [NOTICE] Self-testing indicates your DirPort is reachable from the outside. Excellent. If you see something like the following it's irrelevant: Apr 02 22:33:02.000 [notice] Have tried resolving or connecting to address '[scrubbed]' at 3 different places. Giving up. And if you see this it's not working (the X's here represent your public internet facing IPv4): Apr 03 17:10:41.000 [warn] Your server (XX.XXX.XXX.XXX:9001) has not managed to confirm that its ORPort is reachable. Please check your firewalls, ports, address, /etc/hosts file, etc. Apr 03 17:10:41.000 [warn] Your server (XX.XXX.XXX.XXX:9030) has not managed to confirm that its DirPort is reachable. Please check your firewalls, ports, address, /etc/hosts file, etc. If you're still having trouble try hopping on IRC. ###

multi-instance Tor support for *BSD packages
by Nusenu 02 Apr '15

02 Apr '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Dear Tor package maintainers for FreeBSD and OpenBSD, I wrote/I'm writing an ansible [1] role for tor relay operators [2]. Besides supporting Linux I'm also aiming to supporting OpenBSD and FreeBSD. Tor does not scale well across multiple CPU cores, to work around this issue relay operators frequently choose to run multiple tor instances on a single host. To better support tor relay operators with this common task tor's official RPM packages recently got multi-instance support [5] and a ticket for the official debian package has been filed [6]. To better know how to proceed with my ansible role - where multi-instance support is a core feature - I'd like to know how you think about adding easy multi-instance support to your packages as well? One way to configure a BSD system to run multiple tor instances would be to defined multiple services tor0, tor1, ... [3], but that doesn't strike me as a particular clean solution [4].

New relay not recognised by weathermap
by Sharif Olorin 30 Mar '15

30 Mar '15

Hi all, I configured a new relay[0] yesterday, and recently tried to sign up for the Weathermap[1], wherein I get a "could not locate a Tor node with that fingerprint" error message. The node's definitely been up for more than an hour, and Atlas can see it[2]. Is this expected behaviour, or might it indicate an issue with my configuration? I've checked everything on the "potential problems" list - the node does exist, the fingerprint is correct, it's been up for more than an hour, hasn't been down for over a year, and running a recent (0.2.5.11) version of Tor.

Re: [tor-relays] Installing obfs4 on Raspberry Pi bridge
by jchase 30 Mar '15

30 Mar '15

Thanks for your answer. Your instructions were good and explicit, but you hit on two of the problems I run into. I installed tor 0.2.5.11-1 from torproject.org and got two error messages that I couldn't solve. I would have to go back and re-install 0.2.5.11-1 to tell you what they were. In any case they weren't configuration problems. I had pretty much the same problem months ago when I installed a tor 0.2.5.x on Pi. Which leads me to want to use a raspbian repo. only I am unable to get /etc/apt/sources.list to recognize http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/pool/main/t/tor/ (or variations thereof) as a repository. And in my main raspian repo tor doesn't go any higher than 0.2.4.26 . So simply updating tor does not work. How do I add http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/pool/main/t/tor/ http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/pool/main/o/obfs4proxy/ http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/pool/main/libc/libcap2/ as one or more alternative repositories or force an install?

https://globe.torproject.org/#/relay/9DCF76179FCF47224D235ECD4A6165FED22ECE… So, i am running exit node. My provider send me an email .. "This IP is infected with, or is NATting for a machine infected with s_downloaderbot-mxb" Any idea what can i do with this problem ? Now i can see my IP in my server exit policy ... After my "delist action" is clean .. http://www.senderbase.org/lookup/ip/?search_string=37.157.192.208 I need just wait ? And all outgoing packet from my server still droped ? Thanks ..

Tor relays automatically add themselves to > their exit policy by default. Thanks for the correction.

comparing tor patch levels on different OSes
by Nusenu 30 Mar '15

30 Mar '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 I wanted to know whether a particular OS tends to be more likely running outdated* tor releases than another. In case others are interested as well, here is the answer. OSX, OpenBSD and Windows are more likely running outdated tor releases than FreeBSD or Linux. Probably not really surprising.. A more detailed answer: (ordered from bad to better) | OS | outdated_fraction | outdated relays | outdated_cw_fraction | +--------+-------------------+-----------------+----------------------+ | Darwin | 24.6154 | 16 | 0.03 | | NetBSD | 22.2222 | 2 | 0.00 | | OpenBSD| 21.8750 | 14 | 0.05 | | Windows| 17.2189 | 291 | 0.01 | | FreeBSD| 9.1743 | 20 | 0.15 | | Linux | 8.8392 | 597 | 4.29 | (based on onionoo data from 2015-03-27) If you are missing an OS (like SunOS) in the list, than this means that it does not run any outdated release at all (outdated_fraction=0%). *) actually it is about whether the relay uses a recommended version as defined by dir auths https://consensus-health.torproject.org/#recommendedversions I "added" tor 0.2.7.x to the list to avoid flagging bleeding edge relays as outdated. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJVGKLtAAoJEFv7XvVCELh00SwQAJ9KR0DsZ/SaeAJTjbHg2rkU yD7vuyxnJuenoQKkm2IYRTUwKbqPMgLcHqVWGp6y84qMQQMlqLcUnpu11D/6KgGY N6TtpK7qmfploA64/34whQjFUf5mh8++9LjsdyrY3DkCv/6izz01t9KCwev0S40r Ik/2o3bE/v6Yhwrs1jL1kzm+ekTHHj21y6HOQVt9Bbe0Myfqo6jaqcd6Ilt2PDAX FoM5MqWNtrOLbWs5wYesZv6OTAvFGKx5GG0/6sNu/t5R9Z6yk/kkQNWVg87EGyaQ PNIwhXI7lnou4tuYgekqBM9TAY94im6EC789Q3uLj2q/nGzWNcjPpHU+1XCVtSeH dFnAZ/LeKVWMkUr2k08xNegsiN32QizPYW+2EMLpPml9cubTvP+4Y/YVx6Z1RNA+ eg1y6kd5l3ht97WOTTEXe6Wvl1AjHHpW5wGrd36+wpy40Ac9IlJqx2Qei4XrmWDN is9PUDqWCiMRQJCs9WVOKh0dgrdKve2/ipJB4i3O8viN/yzh9VXmzaJXqYa7Dkct CTW90uzVOQ/zM8usGkVJEgef9ICjxKqsPWQnhK68reHPbxZasOVTJ9EsCQZhPBeI MoslvWS/VvgFQ/Wvgj2zjS4LXieNbZMoPnX/SLC5dHyjs6WjGeOFgNslQJwcBNGe Q29d8/zH8q4tKBU5RpI5 =bbrP -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Installing obfs4 on Raspberry Pi bridge
by jchase 29 Mar '15

29 Mar '15

Hello, I run a bridge on a Raspberry Pi running Debian Wheezy and tor 0.2.4.26 . I have obfs3 installed and would like to upgrade to obfs4. So far this has not been possible. If I understand it correctly, my best bet is to update to tor 0.2.6.x and then install obfs4. Let me know if I'm wrong. And if I'm right, what is the easiest way to do that? Thanks, J. Chase

Interesting and useful tips s7r! Thanks for sharing. Props to all! undertuga -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [tor-relays] Installing obfs4 on Raspberry Pi bridge Time (GMT): Mar 28 2015 22:20:09 From: s7r(a)sky-ip.org To: tor-relays(a)lists.torproject.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, obfs4 will not run on 0.2.4.x , you need at least 0.2.5.x or 0.2.6.x First, upgrade your Tor. You can use torproject.org repositories. If you are running wheezy: 1. Add the repository: # echo "deb http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org wheezy main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list 2. Add the signing key: # gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv 886DDD89; gpg --export A3C4F0F979CAA22CDBA8F512EE8CBC9E886DDD89 | apt-key add â 3. Install keyring: # apt-get update && apt-get -y install deb.torproject.org-keyring Now upgrade your Tor, an apt-get -y install tor would upgrade to 0.2.5.1 1. You can install obfs4proxy from deb.torproject.org too: # echo "deb http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org obfs4proxy main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list # apt-get update && apt-get -y install obfs4proxy Now, modify your torrc to enable the obfs4 transport. Make sure you also add ExtORPort auto in torrc so it will report some useful statistics. obfs4proxy also supports obfs3, and some users still use that, so if you can be an obfs3 and obfs4 bridge at the same time (requires just one more open port) it would be great. Sample torrc entry for enabling obfs4 and obfs3: ExtORPort auto ServerTransportPlugin obfs3,obfs4 exec /usr/bin/obfs4proxy ServerTransportListenAddr obfs3 [::]:port ServerTransportListenAddr obfs4 [::]:port To make the bridge even better, you can bind obfs3 and obfs4 to lower ports (< 1024), if you have them free, such as obfs3 on 80 and obfs4 on 443 (for example). This will help users behind really restrictive firewalls who only allow connections on few ports. You can easily do this with libcap2-bin package: # apt-get -y install libcap2-bin # setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' /usr/bin/obfs4proxy To make this persistent after a reboot, edit the /etc/rc.local file and add this line before 'exit 0': setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' /usr/bin/obfs4proxy Hope this helps. If you don't want to use deb.torproject.org, everything required is also included in raspbian main repo: http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/pool/main/t/tor/ http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/pool/main/o/obfs4proxy/ http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/pool/main/libc/libcap2/ If you want to use raspbian repo, simply ignore the lines where you add deb.torproject.org to your sources.list file and just upgrade, install the required packages and modify your torrc file.
