Building on a Udoo Dual

Does anyone know if the Tor Project has sources for top that can be compiled on a Udoo Dual? It's running Ubuntu 11.10 (oneiric) on a ARMv7 processor. I've tried following the instructions on https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian, but I get an Err http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org/ experimental-oneiric/main tor 0.2.4.17-rc-1~oneiric+1 (dsc) 404 Not Found [IP: 38.229.72.14 80] error when trying to run the "sudo apt-get source tor" command. I had no problem compiling on a Raspberry Pi, but of course this is a different animal. Thanks, Richard

I really have nothing to back this up but I would *think* that additional services on the same IP might mask the bridge from / confuse some active/reactive probing based bridge disovery attacks. Then again, if active probing is usually only done on a particular (ip, port) pair (the one that someone in China is connecting to, for example), then there's probably no difference anyway.

Exit nodes on a Gandi VPS
by Eric van der Vlist 15 Nov '13

15 Nov '13

Hi list, I am a (happy) Gandi customer and I'd like to support the Tor project by setting up an exit node on one of their VPS (https://www.gandi.net/hosting/iaas) As mentioned on the list of Good/bad ISPs, (https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/GoodBadISPs Gandi does accept Tor exit nodes. I have contacted their technical support who said they did support the Tor project but wouldn't ne able to do specific ARIN declarations and that it would be my responsibility to be reactive to abuse complaints. Despite this perspective (and Julien Robin's bad experience) I am still willing to give it a try. Gandi have data centers in Paris (France), Luxembourg and Baltimore (US) that I can use with the same cost and efforts and I am wondering which of these locations would be more useful for the community. Thanks for your advises! Eric

Bad idea to switch from a relay to a bridge?
by Nick 14 Nov '13

14 Nov '13

Hi, I've been running a very low bandwidth relay for a little while with my home ADSL connection, but given the up speed is so poor, and (more importantly) my ADSL provider has stopped switching my IP about every 24 hours, I'd like to switch to be a bridge. However, I'm wondering whether the fact that my IP is already known as a relay means that it wouldn't be useful? That is, if the people bridges try to foil are likely to just blacklist any relays they see by default (it wasn't an exit or guard). Thanks for any advice, Nick

Re: [tor-relays] Checking a bridge
by Gary Anderson 13 Nov '13

13 Nov '13

I have the same worry as Martin. I set up a bridge on AWS 2 weeks ago by following the instructions here https://cloud.torproject.org/ and choosing a bridge image for Ireland. Setup went well, log files on startup tell me my bridge contacts the tor network, and I checked I could use my bridge by explicitly configuring it in a tor client. But the traffic I see in arm is very small (around 100 MB / week) compared to what I observed when I tested a tor relay (over 2 GB in a week-end). On the other hand, I didn't find my fingerprint in Globe. Is there something wrong or can this be a normal situation that happens sometime ? Do all fingerprints end up in Globe ? T.

Traffic in port 9050 in a relay (denial of service attack?)
by jj tor 12 Nov '13

12 Nov '13

Hello all, I've set up a tor exit relay (0.2.4.17-rc, debian testing) on a VPS, and it's running well (about 20Gbs/day). But a lot of traffic (about 50%!) is using port 9050 for incoming connections. It's something more than random scans. Because I am worried, I've run tcpdump on this port and the packets length is about 50-60 bytes long. It seems like DOS or flood traffic: external ip tries to connect and my server refuses (RST, ACK), each time. My OR port is 9001, and, of course, SocksPort = 0 in my torrc. Do you think something is wrong with my relay? Why that traffic if my only tor port is 9001? Should I block that traffic using iptables?

Of course such a list goes out of date faster than a phone book. That is another reason that using a list is an exercise in futility. Even more thought required to see that. Thus it would be hit or miss to try to access their website using Tor.

Tor relays and exits exposing Privoxy publicly
by Claudio 11 Nov '13

11 Nov '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello everyone, Some months ago I encountered a situation where a user running an exit node with a publicly exposed privoxy (intentionally or not, I'm not sure) was constantly receiving a number of requests directed to advertisement networks. Fundamentally, someone is/was running an infrastructure using exposed Privoxies to perform some sort of advertisement fraud. It's been roughly documented also here: https://b.kentbackman.com/2013/04/15/rotpoion-botnet-powered-by-thousands-o… Out of interest, I gave a quick look at existing relays and exists and it turns out that there's ~20 nodes exposing Privoxy on public IPs.

Amazon abuse report
by Sanjeev Gupta 10 Nov '13

10 Nov '13

Hi, I am running a number of Tor relays, in my own DC and at Amazon Singapore. I got an email from Amazon last week, for the Windows instance: == Hello, It's come to our attention that one of your EC2 instances may be configured as a Tor exit node. Please note that any open proxy activity is prohibited in our AUP: http://aws.amazon.com/aup/ Please respond to this email detailing the corrective measures you plan to take. If you believe our findings to be in error, please provide additional information about how this activity relates to your use case. Regards, Amazon EC2 Abuse Team == Since Tor Cloud https://cloud.torproject.org/ suggests running on Amazon EC2, I am confused. -- Sanjeev Gupta +65 98551208 http://www.linkedin.com/in/ghane

Hy there. I did some graphs of the attacks raiding against the network and the method is quite interesting.

Relay-Bandwith
by Oliver Schönefeld 09 Nov '13

09 Nov '13

hey folks i'm having some issues with my bandwidth... my ISP is offering 50 Mbps downstream 10 Mbps up, so i thought i'd share 20 Mbps max and 15 Mbps avg (respectively 2560 KBps max and 1920 KBps avg) in a inner tor-relay. so i put the latter vaues in the bandwith-limits tab of the sharing options in vidalia with the download speed set to custom. However the tor metrics indicate an advertised bandwith of 317,44 KBps and the worldmap of vidalia even shows just 20 KBps :( So my question is now: Can this be improved and if so, what should i do about it? Or is this maybe because the relay isn't even up 24 hrs and the bandwith will level in somehow later? thx 4 any advice in advance, 1v3ry

Same boat but with two woman on two continents and both use Mshit and there is not a chance in the world that they will ever ever ever get jitsi, linphone, Ekiga or any of the other joke excuses for a Skype replacement going. Until there is a non-MS solution that lets non-techies use a service like that from behind NAT they are a HUGE waste of developer's time not to mention consumers. Take a look at the Ekiga mailing list, makes the problems people have with tor relay's seem like child's play. It is almost pathetic listening to them try to help people who WILL NEVER manage to get one up and running. It is a joke. My VPN blocks Skype. I tried hard to get rid of it but it is just not possible unless it's another geek that you are talking to. Complaining to MS or Apple can hurt actually, in the hopelessness area. May end up hanging yourself after trying to talk to them.
