No port IPv4 80 so not an called exit even when 443 open wide.
by Dr Gerard Bulger 14 Dec '20

14 Dec '20

It is now out of date that Tor servers are required to have port 80 IPv4 open, even if limited to a single Class A network in order that the relay can be labelled as an exit. Port 443 should be enough. For reasons I do not understand, if I open port IPv4 80 to a wider range I get abuse notices within a day, usually DMCA, as if some man in the middle is scanning the html! So far, wide open IPv6 port 80 attracts zero attention from those alleging abuse. http://example.com called as an IPv4 address cannot be reached by my tor exits as port 80 IPv4 too limited. Port 443 IPv4 and IPv6 on my exits are wide open to all, and we should all be on https anyway. https://example.com can be reached from my exits. Example.com does have an IPv6 address so in theory can be reached from my exits on port 80 as IPv6 port 80 is wide open I assume not used as the DNS requested for example.com gives IPv4 address. Can an Exits now be defined as an exit with port 443 open IPv4? And then tested that is an exit with https requests not http. Gerry Bulger

My app which makes running tor relays on Windows Very Simple
by Keifer Bly 12 Dec '20

12 Dec '20

Hi all, So this is a software peice I have been developing which makes running tor relays on Windows very easy. All the user needs to do is write their torrc. The app installs tor, and configures all once the torrc is written by itself. Here is a video showing the app: Features Automatic Tor download and installation (via Choclatey) Type the torrc file, and the app configures and points tor there for you. Attempted automatic firewall configuration. Automatic creation of log file. Cons: Currently only directly support vanilla bridges. OBFS4 will have to be manually downloaded / configured. ATTEMPTED firewall auto configuration. It auto adds a rule to Windows Defender Firewall to allow the traffic, but can't configure router firewalls, etc. Let know what you think. I have successfully gotten tor up and running through this. If chocolatey changes their install scripts, this will need to be updated. I can send the source code if interested. Programming Language: C#/.Net Tor Windows App.mp4 <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZJ4EKXbu2Clyzc5WdNdxSWquswhdvSTJ/view?usp=…> --Keifer

Shutdown of my exit relay
by Sarah Harvey 05 Dec '20

05 Dec '20

Hi folks, Through an error on my part, my exit relay got taken down (as12876.tor.shh.sh with fingerprint D7082DB97E7F0481CBF4B88CA5F5683399E196A3). I'm in the process of getting a replacement, but the fingerprint and IP will change as a result, and of course it will take time for it to regain consensus in the network. I believe I had also asked for it to be added to the fallback directory list since at the time it was high-traffic and stable. In this case I recommend removing it from this list until I can find a suitable replacement. Many apologies, -Sarah

Call for Testing - New Feature: Relay IPv6 Address Discovery
by David Goulet 28 Nov '20

28 Nov '20

Greetings everyone! We've very recently merged upstream (tor.git) full IPv6 supports which implies many many things. We are still finalizing the work but most of it is in at the moment. This is a call for help if anyone would like to test either git master[1] or nightly builds[2] (only Debian) to test for us a specific feature. The feature we would love for some of you to test is the IPv6 address discovery. In short, with this new feature, specifying an ORPort without an address will automatically bind tor to [::]:<port> and attempt to find the IPv6 address by looking at (in this order): 1. "Address" from torrc 2. "ORPort address:port" from torrc 3. Interface address. First public IPv6 is used. 4. Local hostname, DNS AAAA query. If all fails, the relay will simply never publish an IPv6 in the descriptor but it will work properly with the IPv4 (still mandatory). The other new thing is that now tor supports *two* "Address" statement which can be a hostname or IPv4 or IPv6 now. Thus this is now valid: Address 1.2.3.4 Address [4242::4242] ORPort 9001 Your Tor will bind to 0.0.0.0:9001 and [::]:9001 but will publish the 1.2.3.4 for the IPv4 address and [4242::4242] for IPv6 in the descriptor that is the address to use to reach your relay's ORPort. Now, if you happen to have this configuration which I believe might be common at the moment: ORPort 9001 ORPort [4242::4242]:9001 The second ORPort which specifies an IPv6 address will supersede the "ORPort 9001" which uses [::] and thus you will bind on 0.0.0.0:9001 and [4242::4242]:9001. You should get a notice log about this. Thus the recommended configuration to avoid that log notice would be to bind to specific addresses per family: ORPort <IPv4>:9001 ORPort <IPv6>:9001 And of course, if you want your relay to _not_ listen on IPv6: ORPort 9001 IPv4Only In your notice log, you will see which address is used to bind on the ORPort and then you will see the reachability test succeed or not on the address that tor either used from the configuration or auto discovered that is the address you are supposedly reachable from. Man page has NOT been updated yet, it will arrive once we stabilize the IPv6 feature and everything around it. Please, do report (on this thread) _anything_ even slightly annoying about this like logging or lack of logging and so on. This is a complex feature and errors can be made thus any testing you can offer is extremely appreciated. Thanks!!

Here you go: #!/bin/bash IPTABLES="/usr/sbin/iptables" # Flush all old rules and tables. $IPTABLES -F $IPTABLES -X $IPTABLES -t nat -F $IPTABLES -t nat -X # Establish default policies. $IPTABLES -P INPUT DROP $IPTABLES -P FORWARD DROP $IPTABLES -P OUTPUT ACCEPT # Unconditionally allow local traffic. $IPTABLES -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT # Allow already established connections. $IPTABLES -A INPUT -i <NETWORK_INTERFACE> -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT # Allow Tor ORPort traffic. $IPTABLES -A INPUT -i <NETWORK_INTERFACE> -p tcp --dport <YOUR_ORPORT> -j ACCEPT Note that this is for a normal Tor relay, not a bridge - for a bridge, just opening the inbound obfs4proxy port is enough, though. You will have to make adjustments, namely specifying the name of your public network interface ("ip addr" or "ifconfig", either one will work on modern distributions). Make sure to also open the port sshd, your SSH daemon, bound to or you will be locked out from the system after executing the script (!). If you are on Arch Linux, you can save the script to /etc/iptables/iptables.rules (execute the script and then run "iptables-save > /etc/iptables/iptables.rules", after that the only thing left to do is to enable the according systemd service unit to automatically load the rules on boot ("systemctl enable iptables"). If on Debian, you can specify a script to run as soon as your public network interface reaches the "up" state, directly in your network configuration. Note that this will just drop unknown incoming connections (ICMP traffic as well, so you won't be able to ping your server anymore), usually the best measure, you could also configure it to reject unknown TCP packets but this will generate additional outbound traffic (which is what an attacker might want). Please also note that if you are running a IPv6 enabled relay, you will have to use ip6tables instead of iptables - you will also have to allow all incoming ICMPv6 traffic through ip6tables, with plain IPv4 you don't really need to allow ICMP packets, with IPv6, it's absolutely required.

Hi, So twice this week I've gotten this email from OVH: Dear Customer, We have just detected an attack on IP address 51.68.197.220. In order to protect your infrastructure, we vacuumed up your traffic onto our mitigation infrastructure. The entire attack will thus be filtered by our infrastructure, and only legitimate traffic will reach your servers. At the end of the attack, your infrastructure will be immediately withdrawn from the mitigation. For more information on the OVH mitigation infrastructure: http://www.ovh.com/world/anti-ddos/ Regarding the relay at https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/79E3B585803DE805CCBC00C1EF36… I am wondering, are relays being ddosed a normal thing?

Cheap Servers? There MUST be a catch

Worried about dominance of OVH for relays and exits? How about Google! Setting up a fast server is SO cheap on their https://cloud.google.com/ platform, it is tempting to set up relays, if not exits there. Looking at their T&Cs they do not seem to mention TOR or banning running a proxy, but a generic list of don't do bad things. I have two ubuntu servers doing running other programmes on there now, and so far cost me $0.78 with fixed IP4 addresses. I have not worked out how to attach IPv6 yet. Of course set DNS of the machines not to be Google's So tell me why this is such a bad idea. Gerry

I have gathered a lot of screendumps and logs, and I am sure somebody hat taken over their site, and Duckduckgo redirects all the traffic to these sites where NemID, has to confirm wh you are, when trying to get answers for the corona-test! These sites are: sundhed dot dk coronaprover dot dk There are no problems accessing these sites, with the correct setup of security settings for me! FYI the sundhed dot dk is owned by the Danish Welfare & Heakth system with an app called MinSundhed, which also have weird traffic redirections! Regards David Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email.
