Limiting Tor Resources
by AceOfSpadez79 09 Jun '20

09 Jun '20

When setting up a relay, we are told that Tor doesn't scale well beyond dual core systems. So with me having a 6 core CPU, is there a way to sandbox my relay and restrict system resources to say, at most 2 cores(4 threads) and 2 gigs of RAM? Now I know simply setting up a virtual machine could solve this, however I've had no luck getting the ORPort and DirPort to reach the outside world. Probably missed something in the Tor relay or KVM(hate virtualbox btw) documentation. \-AceOfSpadez79-

key expired and can't renew
by torix＠protonmail.com 08 Jun '20

08 Jun '20

Dear LIst, My bridge, tor version 0.4.2.7 stopped this morning with a bunch of lines like this: "It looks like I should try to generate and sign a new medium-term signing key, because the one I have is going to expire soon. To do that, I'm going to have to try to load the permanent master identity key. If the master identity key was not moved or encrypted with a passphrase, this will be done automatically and no further action is required. Otherwise, provide the necessary data using 'tor --keygen' to do it manually. [warn] We needed to load a secret key from /var/db/tor/keys/ed25519_master_id_secret_key, but i t was encrypted. Try 'tor --keygen' instead, so you can enter the passphrase." I put it up a month ago, so I assume this is the frst time the key needed to be changed. When I look at the keys directory, it looks the same as my still-running one, put ip 42 days ago. 42day one: /var/db/tor # ll keys total 28 -rw------- 1 _tor _tor 64 Apr 27 01:49 ed25519_master_id_public_key -rw------- 1 _tor _tor 96 Apr 27 01:49 ed25519_master_id_secret_key -rw------- 1 _tor _tor 172 May 26 02:00 ed25519_signing_cert -rw------- 1 _tor _tor 96 May 26 02:00 ed25519_signing_secret_key -rw------- 1 _tor _tor 888 Apr 27 01:49 secret_id_key -rw------- 1 _tor _tor 888 May 25 02:03 secret_onion_key -rw------- 1 _tor _tor 96 May 25 02:03 secret_onion_key_ntor Expired one: /var/log/tor # ll /var/db/tor/keys/ total 28 -rw------- 1 _tor _tor 64 May 9 01:29 ed25519_master_id_public_key -rw------- 1 _tor _tor 227 May 9 01:29 ed25519_master_id_secret_key_encrypted -rw------- 1 _tor _tor 172 May 9 01:29 ed25519_signing_cert -rw------- 1 _tor _tor 96 May 9 01:29 ed25519_signing_secret_key -rw------- 1 _tor _tor 888 May 9 02:09 secret_id_key -rw------- 1 _tor _tor 888 May 30 21:11 secret_onion_key -rw------- 1 _tor _tor 96 May 30 21:11 secret_onion_key_ntor I have never encrypted any tor keys; I just downloaded and installed it. Permissions seem the same on both. I can delete the keys directory and reinstall tor, but that's probably a hammer to kill a gnat. Hope that this has happened many times before and it's something simple. TIA, --Torix Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.

Unused Relay - Why?
by petrarca＠protonmail.ch 06 Jun '20

06 Jun '20

Hello all, my relay is set up to support 42 Mbps, however does not get any real traffic routed through it (605EE4375EE4C38215C8949F5808863749FD4F4A). I checked anything I could think of but everything looks fine to me. Anyone with an idea what could be wrong here? Many thanks!

Nyx questions
by G 02 Jun '20

02 Jun '20

I have a few questions involving mostly the connection information provided by Nyx. In the past I have used standalone tor as a proxy for Firefox. At times Nyx would show my internal 127.x.x.x as the 'originating' IP and other times would show my internet facing 183.x.x.x as the originating IP. I now have two Ubuntu machines with older OS versions running Tor Browser 9.5. One machine has Nyx (-i 9151) showing the internal 127.x.x.x while the other shows 24.64.x.x as the originating IP. What is the significance of these differences? On a different topic are the torrc options the same for standalone tor and tor packaged with Tor Browser? For example with Tor Browser can additional socks ports be opened and utilized (obviously while Tor Browser is active)? Thanks (sorry if this info is documented somewhere - not easily found?)

Ubuntu Focal
by Pac-Man 01 Jun '20

01 Jun '20

When will there be support for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS? There does not seem to be a repo setup where you can use focal. I have plenty of bandwidth and everything to run a really good relay, but getting any kind of help is not happening. I have reached out to the TOR Project community and have received no answer. HOW do you expect new people to become a part of the TOR network when no one is there to answer any questions? Everything on youtube is old and outdated and no one seems to want to keep any software projects going. Maybe one day I will be good enough at this to help people in realtime, but until then unless there is anyone that is willing to help me I am going to probably mothball my relay. I am sad about it but life goes on. Other projects have needs as well. Rgds, Nicholas Miller Pacman Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.

Hi all, So I am switching my OBFS4 bridge that was here https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/386E99371B8CD938248940B754F1… >From running on Windows to running on Debian, as the older computer I was running it on, Windows updates started causing it to not boot correctly haha.

I am wondering, does unattended upgrades as configured here: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TorRelayGuide/DebianUbuntuUpd… Keep OBFS4 up to date as well? Is it safe to use tor browser through teamviewer from the computer I am running the bridge on? Unfortunately the relay key for the former bridge was lost as the hard drive failed due to a Windows update causing it to crash, do the bridge relay keys have any other relevance than flags? Thanks very much. --Keifer

How long to bridges last?
by torix＠protonmail.com 27 May '20

27 May '20

Obviously with the 35th of May coming up, new bridges are immediately needed. I was wondering how long a bridge can be up before it becomes known and less useful. Is there a "shelf-life" for a bridge? Or does it depend on which pool the bridge gets put into? --Torix Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.

May 29th - Run and use Tor Bridges to bypass censorship and surveillance! (Online)
by gus 27 May '20

27 May '20

Hi, on May 29th 2020, members of The Tor Project will be online to support and explain how to help users in countries that censor the Internet. From 1200 UTC to 2000 UTC, we will teach you how to run a Tor bridge and answer questions about our anti-censorship technology. This event is public and open for everyone! The event will happen via text (not video or audio) on IRC, in the channel #tor-relays on irc.oftc.net. Learn here how to connect to our IRC: https://support.torproject.org/get-in-touch/ More info: https://blog.torproject.org/run-and-use-tor-bridges-irc-meetup ## About bridges Bridges are useful for Tor users living in oppressive regimes, and for people who want an extra layer of security because they're worried somebody will recognize that they are contacting a public Tor relay IP address. A bridge is basically a private Tor relay that helps you hide the fact that you are using the Tor network. To set up a bridge, take a look at the instructions in our Community portal: https://community.torproject.org/relay/setup/bridge/ ## About this event This is our first online event promoting bridges and anti-censorship technology and you can join at any time between 1200 UTC and 2000 UTC. Several members of The Tor Project will be around to answer questions and provide technical support related to bridges and anti-censorship technology. We expect to answer your questions and teach attendees how they can help friends in censored countries, how they can set up Tor bridges, and what else they can do to fight online censorship. ## Learn more - Tor Browser User Manual https://tb-manual.torproject.org/bridges/ https://tb-manual.torproject.org/circumvention/ - Censorship section on Support portal https://support.torproject.org/censorship/ - Community portal - Relay Operators section https://community.torproject.org/relay/ - Snowflake https://snowflake.torproject.org/ -- The Tor Project Community Team Lead http://expyuzz4wqqyqhjn.onion/

Weird Issue With nyx
by AceOfRelays32 26 May '20

26 May '20

Chowning the torrc file fixed it, and I tried adding myself to the Tor group but that doesn't exist for whatever reason. However chowning the torrc file and then rebooting caused Tor to give my relay a new fingerprint which is slightly annoying. New relay though so I'm not too bothered by it. Thanks! -AceOfRelays32-

Why is this Middle Relay almost unused ?
by petrarca＠protonmail.ch 26 May '20

26 May '20

I'm wondering why this relay is almost unused: Fingerprint 605EE4375EE4C38215C8949F5808863749FD4F4A ? It's running on a 1 Gbit link and there is plenty of unused bandwidth. The bandwidth is set to 42 Mbps (even prioritized on the internet link). There were no outages for months and the connection is stable and fast. There's also plenty of resources available on the actual router (tor instance). Relay monitoring shows usage average around 0.5 - 1 Mbps only (so around 1-2 percent of the available bandwidth). Consensus Weight is down to only 99. Any idea what could be the reason of the low usage, low Consensus Weight ?

Weird Issue With nyx
by AceOfRelays32 26 May '20

26 May '20

It would seem my relay is fully functional. Being it has only been up for less than 3 hours though I can't 100% confirm that. Anyways, when I launch nyx to check it's status, I get a permission error from /run/tor/control.authcookie. Chowning /run/tor/control.authcookie and then running nyx solves that issue, however it doesn't persist on reboots. Running nyx as root also fixes it. I wrote an alias to automate chowning and running nyx for the time being, but I'm wondering if there is a better fix.

What is the reason for > this delay? It's because the directory authorities are configured to wait that long before assigning the flag. See the MinUptimeHidServDirectoryV2 option: https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/tree/src/feature/dirauth/dirauth_opti… It used to be 25 hours, long ago, with the reasoning that if a relay hasn't been up for a day, then it's too likely to go away again soon, and this churn causes reliability problems in reaching onion services. We changed it to 96 hours in late 2014, when we saw a Sybil attack (many new relays suddenly appearing) and realized that while they wouldn't become Guards for a while, they would become HSDirs quite quickly, and maybe we want to give ourselves a few more days after new relays appear before they get to become HSDirs. And here are two tickets on doing even more to make it hard for jerks to sign up relays with the goal of cheaply getting the HSDir flag: https://bugs.torproject.org/16538 and https://bugs.torproject.org/19162 And of course the long term fix is to drop the deprecated v2 onion service design, since the v3 onion service design is much better at limiting what an HSDir relay can learn about onion services: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Di7qAVidy1Y Hope this helps, --Roger

Trouble with opening ports for a new bridge

Hello, I have two low-traffic websites hosted on Digital Ocean. Each one is its own Droplet. I setup a Tor bridge on one and it has been running successfully (20-80 clients / 6 hours or so average) so I know this is possible. Now I am trying to setup a bridge on the second Droplet. I have Tor and obfs4proxy installed. My torrc is as follows: Log notice file /var/log/tor/notices.log RunAsDaemon 1 Nickname whatever ExitRelay 0 ExitPolicy reject *:* BridgeRelay 1 BridgeDistribution moat ServerTransportPlugin obfs4 exec /usr/bin/obfs4proxy ORPort 6063 ExtORPort auto ContactInfo <nottryingtobelame AT protonmail DOT com> I am pasting the output of netstat -plunt to pastebin for the sake of clarity and space: https://pastebin.com/30UHP5FD And here is a screenshot of the firewall I created on Digital Ocean and applied explicitly to this Droplet: https://imgur.com/a/jm9ZIQ6 I have rebooted the Droplet, deleted and re-created the firewall, and I'm not getting anywhere.

Tor relay occasionally maxing out CPU usage

Hi there, I am the operator of the following relay: https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/47E1157F7DA6DF80EC00D745D73A… The relay is running on my Arch Linux server running kernel version 5.6.11. This is my tor configuration file: ORPort 37.157.195.83:38619 ORPort [2a02:2b88:2:1::3239:0]:38619 DirPort 37.157.195.83:44776 Nickname michaelscott ContactInfo ttallink(a)googlemail.com ControlPort 9051 SocksPort 0 CookieAuthentication 1 ExitPolicy reject *:* DataDirectory /var/lib/tor Sandbox 1 Linux kernel boot parameters from grub: quiet mitigations=off Kernel parameters from /etc/sysctl.d set on boot through systemd: kernel.dmesg_restrict = 1 net.ipv6.ip_nonlocal_bind = 1 kernel.yama.ptrace_scope = 3 vm.swappiness = 60 Tor systemd unit (shipped by distribution): [Unit] Description=Anonymizing Overlay Network After=network.target [Service] User=tor Type=simple ExecStart=/usr/bin/tor -f /etc/tor/torrc ExecReload=/usr/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID KillSignal=SIGINT LimitNOFILE=8192 PrivateDevices=yes [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target Tor systemd unit overrides: [Service] ProtectSystem=strict ProtectHome=true PrivateTmp=true ProtectKernelLogs=true ProtectKernelModules=true ProtectKernelTunables=true ProtectControlGroups=true NoNewPrivileges=true RestrictSUIDSGID=true RestrictAddressFamilies=AF_INET AF_INET6 ReadWritePaths=/var/lib/tor Occasionally, the CPU usage hit's 100%, and the maximum throughput drops down to around 16 Mbps from it's usual 80 Mbps. This happens randomly and not a fixed intervals which makes it pretty hard to profile. No abnormal entries in the log files. I found ticket #24857 in which someone describes a similar behavior, but on _Windows_. https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/24857 Is this also an issue on Linux? In that case, setting DirCache to 0 should fix the issue, however that would mean that, according to the manual, I would no longer be able to mirror directory information. If anyone else encountered the same problem and found a solution, please let me know. Best Regards, William

warn message in notices .log after reinstallation of the relay (and restore of torrc and "keys" folder)
by David Strappazon 19 May '20

Hi, I had issues with my bridge who is running on a Raspberry pi 3+ so i've decided to completely reinstall it. First i saved my torrc file and my "keys" folder from /var/lib/tor. First thing i did after a clean install of the server was to copy and paste my torrc file in /etc/tor/ and the files "ed25519_master_id_secret_key" and "secret_id_key" in the keys directory. Anyway after starting Tor i had the following messages in notices.log: [warn] http status 400 '"looks like your keypair has changed?...etc...etc... i decided to completely replace the content of the keys folder by my backup but i still have the same message. When i go to Tor relay search i see my bridge with two different identities and both are offline ( one of the hashed fingerprints is the right one). Anyway if i run "nyx" i can see that Tor is working, reachable from the outside and some circuits are built. I suspect i make a mistake with the "keys" but i'm a little bit lost. Can you guys help me please ? Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.

Recommended router for 200+ Mb/s relay
by Secure Node 12 May '20

12 May '20

Thank you for all response. Old PC can be good, but it's not power efficient ;) Looks like Mikrotik: https://mikrotik.com/products/group/ethernet-routers have quite cheap hardware, but question is - For 1 Gb/s broadband with tor relay (set for up to 250 Mb/s - maybe more in future) - any of this small router will be enough? Example: hEX PoE lite It's powerful enough or I will need something much more enterprise grade? On my current setup with my home grade 1 Gb/s router my relay works quite stable, but with working TOR I can reach speed up to 450 Mb/s (150 Mb/s for relay and up to 300 Mb/s for other services or tests). When I stop relay - I can reach easily 950 Mb/s If I understand it correctly - my router CPU can't handle more packages / connections, currently nyx reporting: Connections (3053 inbound, 4151 outbound, 1 control) which is a lot ;) I really want to avoid using big rack type mount, noisy router with separate PSU. > On Thu, 30 Apr 2020 at 23:07, Logforme <m7527(a)abc.se> wrote: > On 2020-04-29 17:13:49, "Secure Node" <admin(a)securenode.pl> wrote: > >> I'm looking for new router for good price which can handle more >> connections and traffic ;-) >> Can you recommend any specific models?

Exit stops after one year, then again after few days
by ylms 12 May '20

12 May '20

Hello all As written above, I run an Exit (for many years, with the current setup since 04.2019) but on 30. March 2020 it stopped, I was unable to determine any reason. So I installed updates and since there were some Kernel updates I also rebooted the machine. The Exit was back up and ran again till ~36h ago. Same situation again, I have no idea why it stopped. I now activated "Log notice syslog", I think this was in the standard torrc which is installed with the package of Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS anyway, but there is not entries in journalctl. Only Start/Stop/Reload events are shown in the journal for unit tor.service since 100 day ago. Can someone help me to troubleshoot this problem, could the fingerprint be blacklisted? In this case would the Exit come back up running for a few days as described above? Regards and thank you very much for any support. yl

Apologies for the length but detail is important. My bridge pc's internal power supply had to be replaced, and was down for a week. After the replacement, I restarted the daemon and the tor service. Everything seemed normal except that it's not reachable from outside. No configurations have been changed. The only difference I see is a message in the log indicating that the network speed has changed/slowed down. The forwarded port in the router is the same. The torrc file has not changed. I can surf the web. Literally the only change is the replaced power supply. Any ideas? Thanks

Could this be what's causing > it to stay offline?? No. The advertised bandwidth tells you how much traffic you were able to handle in the last week. For bridges the advertised bandwidth doesn't influence how much traffic you receive. If you were offline for a week and your relay is still not reachable from the outside that's the reason why your advertised bandwidth remains low. Can you share the log lines that show your issue? Are you able to run a "normal" web service on that computer that is accessible from the internet? > -------- Original Message -------- > On May 8, 2020, 12:35 PM, Paul Geurts wrote: >> >> Option: Dynamic internal ip address so the FW rule does point to the >> right internal ip address? >> Machine has been off for a week so the lease could be expired. >> >> On Fri, May 8, 2020, 18:19 Anonforpeace <anonforpeace(a)protonmail.com> >> wrote: >>> Apologies for the length but detail is important.

Question on Unanttended Upgrades
by Keifer Bly 05 May '20

Hello, I am wondering, does using Unattended upgrades on Linux, when relay is configured using this configurator: https://tor-relay.co/ install tor updates automatically when they are released? Does the relay need to be restarted? Thanks very much. --Keifer

Is there any work going on which would allow Tor to work with IPV6 alone? i.e. no IPV4 OR ports etc. Gerry

Liberation Day article on running a relay
by Imre Jonk 05 May '20

05 May '20

Hi all, Today the Netherlands celebrates the 75th anniversary of our liberation from Nazi Germany by allied troops in 1945. Normally there would be festivities around the country with presence from organizations like Bits of Freedom and Amnesty, but those are cancelled because of the ongoing pandemic. That means that we celebrate from home this year, which leaves me with time to finish this article: https://www.imrejonk.nl/running-a-tor-relay/ The goal of the article is to answer frequently asked questions that aspiring relay operators might have, while linking to authoritative documentation of the Tor Project as well as this list for further information. Hope you enjoy reading it, feedback is welcome :) Imre
