Many SSH requests
by Cristiano Kubiaki Gomes 03 Apr '21

03 Apr '21

Hi there, O noticed many ssh requests to my Debian VM running a Relay and I am wondering if this is normal or if this is happening only with me. Anyone else see this ssh attemptives? Is it normal? sshd[27004]: Failed password for root from 45.91.226.235 port 41012 ssh2 sshd[27004]: Received disconnect from 45.91.226.235 port 41012:11: Bye Bye [preauth] sshd[27004]: Disconnected from authenticating user root 45.91.226.235 port 41012 [preauth] sshd[27006]: pam_unix(sshd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=108.36.253.227 user=root It's many different ips and trying to access in many different ports. Thank you!

syn flood iptables rule
by Toralf Förster 02 Apr '21

02 Apr '21

The following 3 statements # Make sure NEW incoming tcp connections are SYN packets; otherwise we need to drop them. $IPT -A INPUT -p tcp ! --syn -m state --state NEW -j DROP # DDoS $IPT -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m recent --name synflood --set $IPT -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m recent --name synflood --update --seconds 60 --hitcount 10 -j DROP seems to work and to help here ata fast Tor relay. CPU went down from 109% to 95%. There're 500 connections less than before for a Tor fast relay. The /proc/net/xt_recent/synflood is quickly filled. Unfortunately I cannot change the "ip_list_tot" of "xt_recent" b/c I do use a non-modular kernel. Does anybody knows a circumvention? Are there any objections against this approach? -- Toralf

ipv6 ORPort + DIRPort too ?
by Petrusko 01 Apr '21

01 Apr '21

Hey, I've set up a new relay, available with ipv4 and ipv6. And I'm not sure if I can serve DIRPort on the ipv6 too ? In the torrc file, I've config : ORPort 9001 ORPort [xxxx:xxxx:xxx:x:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxx]:9001 DIRPort 9030 Is it allowed to add something like this, to advertise on ipv6 too ?? : DIRPort [xxxx:xxxx:xxx:x:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxx]:9030 Thank you all !

Help with FreeBSD relays
by xplato 31 Mar '21

31 Mar '21

Greetings, I am a bit of a noob here so please bear with me. I ran a relay using Ubuntu with very few issues however I decide to add an additional relay and decided to use FreeBSD. They will only run for around 18 hours and then they shut down. I have adjust the torrc file every way I know how and increased the Max vnodes thinking this may have been my issue. I can post the sysrc and torrc if needed. Anyone that might help me figure this out I would be grateful otherwise I am going to reluctantly move them both back to Ubuntu. Thanks, Dan Sent from ProtonMail for iOS

relay impersonation (contactinfo)
by nusenu 31 Mar '21

31 Mar '21

Hi, I'd like to raise your awareness of an ongoing scheme of questionable entities that make use of your name or relay contactinfo and/or relay nicknames. Those using other people's relay _nicknames_ got and get spotted by multiple people already and are somewhat obvious (at least for now), but I'd like to highlight those using familiar names in contactInfo that are likely less frequently uncovered because people lookup their relays by searching for their relay nicknames (and not so often by searching their contactinfo). So here are two practical things that you can do to help uncover more of them: - list your relay fingerprints under the well-known tor-relay URI: https://<your domain>/.well-known/tor-relay/rsa-fingerprint.txt and add "url:<your domain> proof:uri-rsa ciissversion:2" to your ContactInfo to allow for automated linkability verification. This protects your relays against spoofing of the url field. A domain is not required: You can use github-pages or similar if you do not have a domain. more details: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/torspec/-/blob/master/proposals/326-… https://nusenu.github.io/ContactInfo-Information-Sharing-Specification/ Thanks to the 291 relays, that allow for automated verification already. Verifiable relay groups also get graphs on OrNetStats, for an example see: https://nusenu.github.io/OrNetStats/artikel10.org.html - search for your names/nicknames/org names/... in the ContactInfo field. On Relay Search you can do so using "contact:searchstring" Be creative in your search terms. This even makes sense if you do not run relays at all but your name is somewhat known in this context. kind regards, nusenu -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: tor relays rosiwig429(at)lidte(dot)com Date: Tue, 30 Mar 2021 23:55:01 > 2021-03-29 > > | Up | Ext | JoinTime | IP | AS | CC | ORp | Dirp | OS | Version | Nickname | eFamMembers | FP | > |------+-------+------------+----------------+------------------------------------------+------+-------+--------+-------+-----------+------------------+---------------+------------------------------------------| > | 1 | 1 | 06:25:11 | 103.82.32.14 | CMC Telecom Infrastructure Company | vn | 9001 | 9030 | Linux | 0.4.5.7 | coffswifi5 | 1 | B8D95BB1AAFB6F234EC50A100F46E4CC8E8E90FB | > | 1 | 1 | 07:34:40 | 78.138.135.110 | Ojsc oao Tattelecom | ru | 9001 | 9030 | Linux | 0.4.5.7 | artikel5ev3b2 | 1 | 771C9BC56DF4B29BA97CAA9387FB1FC140CFE3E3 | > | 1 | 1 | 13:43:04 | 103.56.156.143 | VNPT Corp | vn | 9001 | 9030 | Linux | 0.4.5.7 | CalyxInstitute18 | 1 | 04998AB63A49C4A0B5A5CD2994D95D098D2B5399 | > | 1 | 1 | 14:28:18 | 77.245.158.134 | Niobe Bilisim Teknolojileri Yazilim San. | tr | 9001 | 9030 | Linux | 0.4.5.7 | Merlin2 | 1 | B4285A497939D190739C976B947053D6CC0AE07C |

Recent Postings

Hello fellow Tor Relay operators! Recent activity on this mailing list has given me a headache... Let me explain. I subscribed to this mailing list to keep up to speed with new technical developments, trouble shooting advice and security advisories. If there is a mailing list that covers this criteria, please let me know because that is where I want to be. This recent 'noise' about Mr Stallman is, in my opinion, unnecessary and unwarranted on this particular mailing list. It reminds me of a similar episode on this mailing list a while back where someone appeared to have a personal problem with someone who ran a hosting company - I nearly wrote something about that. My relay has been chugging away at home for many years and bandwidth assigned to the network has steadily increased as my home broadband capability has improved. I am happy that it contributes to Tor and might help people in genuine need - be it politically, racially, sexual orientation wise or as a whistle blower. Finally, I would like to thank the poster who highlighted the OpenSSL vulnerability - my relay was promptly updated. To quote someone else and because I like this persons' sigh-off: With respect, Rattus Norvegicus Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.

This past week's most active discussion has forced my hand
by Isaac Grover, Aileron I.T. 30 Mar '21

30 Mar '21

Good morning from Wisconsin, Back in 2019, I was involved in a discussion on this list to seek out hosting providers friendly to Tor exit nodes so that the list on the Tor Project website could be updated and geographic and provider diversity could be improved. Because our twins were newborns at the time, the project took a back burner but I had built up the initial automation and templates for the contacts. Would there be any interest in reviving this project for the aforementioned reasons? Make your day great, Isaac Grover, Senior I.T.

Tor [0.4.5.7] {Bridge} IPv4 not found
by Someone 30 Mar '21

30 Mar '21

Hey, I'm running Tor [0.4.5.7] on Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS and started running my first bridge following the exact tutorials on the community guide for running bridge. However, the syslog says(resulting in non-reachability of the port.): Tor[6278]: Unable to find IPv4 address for ORPort 11120. You might want to specify IPv6Only to it or set an explicit address or set Address. Here's my torrc conf: BridgeRelay 1 ORPort 11120 IPv4Only ServerTransportPlugin obfs4 exec /usr/bin/obfs4proxy ServerTransportListenAddr obfs4 0.0.0.0:356 IPv4Only ExtORPort auto ContactInfo __REDACTED_FOR_PRIVACY__ Nickname dubridge Steps done: Saw the router configuration (IPv6 disabled in there). Thought maybe some issue with dynamic/static IP so configured DHCP ADDRESS RESERVATION to get a static IP. Followed a similar thread on this topic by a guy recently so wrote IPv4Only in front of both ORPort and obfs4 Thanks! Someone

My tool I made which makes running relays on Windows very simple.
by Keifer Bly 28 Mar '21

28 Mar '21

Hi all, So this is a tool I developed for tor which makes running relays on Windows very simple. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpk6yvUWQqU Features: Example torrc file which can be configured as wanted. Automatically checks if tor is running the newest version on startup, if not updates to newest version. One button configuration to configure relay to start when Windows starts. Generates a tor log file which can tell tor messages. Drawbacks: Only supports vanilla bridges. Configures Windows Defender Firewall automatically to allow tor traffic, but other firewalls will need to be manually configured. Cheers. --Keifer

Reminder: EOL of my 4 tor relays (2 guards, 2 exits).
by Lisa Winter 28 Mar '21

28 Mar '21

Hello people, Lisa here (not my real name, neither is this my e-mail address - it was not stolen however, the owner allows me to use it -, nor is it associated with any of my relays that you could possibly find on the Tor Metrics page). I used to contribute physical resources to the Tor project for a long time now (I don't want to get into too many details, so let's say somewhere between 4 to 7 years) - paying for the co-location of two high-performance dedicated machines , handling nasty abuse reports, you name it.. Anyway each dedicated server was running two Tor instances occccn each single, public IPv4 and IPv6m as this is the maximum AES hardware acceleration was supported by both physical CPU's, so one instance averaged up to 250mbit/s under full load :-D However, I am sick of all the needless communication with my hosting providers, who are well aware of what I am doing with their equipment, yet idiotic jewbie support still spams me with abuse reports, occasionally null-routing entire IP's which was not part of the conract (I have a custom contract co-locating two, older machines).. I am also sick of the Tor staff allowing companies like Team Cymru (short explanation; Team Cymru collects and sells metadata of network connections but not only metadata, also other "valuable" information like zero-day exploits to anyone willing to pay the right price, and much more - they host a bunch of Tor relays and ridges too, which in my opinion should all get the BadExit / similar flag preventing them from being used at all. Tor code development also moves at a snails pace, we still don't have proper patches for circuit exhaustion attack, comparable to HTTP SlowLoris. I will hereby distance myself from the tor project completely, and not come back ever. Please get your shit together @TneTorProject. "Lisa"

In the spirit of cancel culture, I will be increasing my exit and guard relay traffic from 100mbps unthrottled pipes to 240. If we are to scrutinize the past actions of every great inventor, thinker, and innovator while disregarding achievements based on personal demerits then there would be no technological advancement. My belief in the mission and purpose still stands. It's about being apart of something bigger than myself or any specific individual regardless of opinion.

BTW, a message I posted a couple of weeks ago got no responses, so I will ask the most important question again here. What are the new requirements for an HSDir flag? Before last fall, a minimum of 96 or 97 hours of uptime was the only requirements for a relay to be assigned the HSDir flag, but that is clearly not all that is necessary now. Scott Bennett, Comm.

problem with new obfs4 bridge

Hello, We’re trying to get a 10GbE dual-stack public obfs4 bridge online, but presumably having some trouble with obfs4.

Possibly of note, our firewall does not use connection tracking and applies the same rules as our exit relays which use the same ports. Pro-active note: The bridge shares the same 23.129.64.0/24 subnet as Emerald Onion's Tor exit relays, so there is no risk of a user entering and exiting our physical network (see "2.2. Path selection and constraints"): https://github.com/torproject/torspec/blob/master/path-spec.txt Cheers, -- Christopher Sheats Executive Director for Emerald Onion Email: yawnbox(a)emeraldonion.org Phone: +1 206-739-3390 Web: https://emeraldonion.org/

Tor project helping to attempt to cancel Richard Stallman
by Jeffrey Cliff 26 Mar '21

26 Mar '21

I've been running a relay/exit node for many years. Tor user since ~2004. To the extent that my voice means anything at all here, I would like to strongly condemn the Tor project joining the attempt to cancel Richard Stallman. Stallman represents software freedom to me generally and as of today I will be shutting down my exit node in protest of this action by the Tor Project. I hope the rest of you out there, who depend every day on GNU project code which would not exist without RMS's project, might consider joining me. Jeff Cliff former tor exit node admin

Active MetricsPort logs "Address already in use"
by Alexander Dietrich 25 Mar '21

25 Mar '21

Hello, when I activate the "MetricsPort" feature, the Tor log reports that it is going to open the port, then it says "Address already in use". According to "netstat", the address is indeed in use, but by "tor". Sending GET requests to the address returns empty responses. Any ideas? Kind regards, Alexander -- PGP Key: https://dietrich.cx/pgp | 0x52FA4EE1722D54EB

Tor 0.4.5.6 and missing IPv6
by Marco Predicatori 25 Mar '21

25 Mar '21

Hi, I've recently upgraded to Tor 0.4.5.6. Everything seems to work fine, but in the notices_log file I have a lot of these lines: [notice] Unable to find IPv6 address for ORPort 9001. You might want to specify IPv6Only to it or set an explicit address or set Address. I don't have IPv6, and any line mentioning IPv6 in the torrc file is commented. Is there anythng I need to do in order to get rid of those notices, or can I just let them be? Thanks, Marco -- https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/A4E74410D83705EEFF24BC265DE2…

Security advisory: Please upgrade to today's OpenSSL.
by Nick Mathewson 25 Mar '21

25 Mar '21

Hi, all! There is a new version of OpenSSL out today, with a security advisory that affects Tor. The vulnerability is CVE-2021-3449, as described on https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv/20210325.txt . It affects OpenSSL versions 1.1.1 through 1.1.1j. OpenSSL 1.1.1k is the first version with a fix. I haven't tested this bug, but I believe that it would allow an adversary to remotely crash Tor relays and authorities. It won't have any effect on Tor clients. I suggest that everybody should upgrade to the latest OpenSSL when it becomes available on their platform. best wishes, -- Nick
