Documentation on hardening Debian and Tor Bridge?
by Nathaniel Suchy 12 Oct '18

12 Oct '18

Hi, What documentation, if any exists on hardening my Debian install as well as my Tor Bridge? It's using OBFS4 and using IPTABLES NAT Forwarding for access through port 443 to obfuscate the protocol and of course avoid people from getting suspicious based on the port number? Is there a way I can make Tor use even stronger keys and such? I want things to be as hard to hack as possible. Cordially, Nathaniel Suchy

DSL Router
by onion 12 Oct '18

12 Oct '18

Apparently it looks like the usual router consumer products cant stand the number of connections on a DSL Line with 40Mbit/s upload capability. Could somebody help and share experience or a recommendation for a small, cheap, useful, up to date router, possibly with two WAN channels to get a consumer product combined on one side behind that router with all the DECT and other functionality for a private household and to have the Tor stuff on the second WAN channel. Thank you.

Which would be more helpful, to run a bridge or normal relay?
by Keifer Bly 11 Oct '18

Hi, So I just set up a new relay via the Tor expert bundle and am wondering if running a normal relay or a bridge would currently be more helpful? Thank you.

Further, Linux's older iptables, even its current nftables, will seem very different compared to the FreeBSD IPFW or PF with which you are surely familiar. You'll probably find more answers as to some BGP, packet filter, and hardware solutions for this on the freebsd-net mailing list above.

VyOS in Tor Intensive Environments
by Conrad Rockenhaus 11 Oct '18

11 Oct '18

Hello, I’m researching for a new colo, and in order to bring it online until I can consolidate some hardware, I would like to temporarily run a VyOS Router as the main router so I can start getting things online sooner than later. This VyOS Router will be running BGP with the upstream providers, IPv4, and IPv6, and basic filtering to protect the router and other essential hardware. I’ve seen VyOS perform quite wonderfully on 4-6 gbps links with traffic coming primarily from a CDN. My question is does anyone here have any experience running VyOS with that much traffic with that traffic primarily consisting of Tor traffic? Are there any other suggestions for a basic non-hardware router based solution as a temporary implementation, perhaps even using FreeBSD? Thanks, Conrad

1/6 of the tor network capacity runs on end-of-life tor releases - Let's patch!
by nusenu 09 Oct '18

09 Oct '18

Dear Tor Relay Operators! today marks the end-of-life day of tor version 0.3.2.x, meaning: No more security updates for tor 0.3.2. With this day the amount of relays running end-of-life tor versions on the network increased to over 1300 (!) making up 1/6 of the entire capacity. If you find yourself on this list bellow, please change your tor version to one of the supported releases (some are in BCC) https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkTeam/CoreTor… affected exit/guard operators (grouped by contact, sorted by cw, filtered for cw > 100) for a per-relay list see: https://nusenu.github.io/OrNetStats/eolrelays +----------------------------------------------------+-----------------------+--------+---------+ | contact | tor versions | cw | #relays | +----------------------------------------------------+-----------------------+--------+---------+ | Privacy Republic <abuse-team _at_ PrivacyRepublic | 0.3.1.10 | 282500 | 4 | | sirmatt ksu edu 0x94FBBB0A | 0.3.2.10,0.3.2.10-dev | 166800 | 2 | | abuse(a)to-surf-and-protect.net | 0.3.2.10 | 157700 | 3 | | tor-relay-admin robgjansen com | https://onioncoun | 0.3.2.10-dev | 98770 | 4 | | 0xFED4E03C Jan <jan AT wth dot in> | 0.3.1.10 | 88300 | 2 | | Admin <tor(a)ngc292.space> | 0.3.1.9,0.3.2.9 | 74900 | 3 | | email:hello[]brasshorncomms.uk hoster:brasshorncom | 0.3.2.10 | 70800 | 2 | | Jordan <jordan(a)yui.cat> | 0.3.2.10 | 66400 | 3 | | Kevin Hicks <admin(a)fissionrelays.net> | 0.3.2.10 | 61000 | 4 | | Peter Pan <peterpan(a)fscore.de> | 0.3.2.10 | 60400 | 1 | | Random Person <root <at> nldo.nl> | 0.3.2.10 | 59800 | 1 | | Boris Nagaev 19pZzECKDDMbSpaWEy8vGvELEfXM8GrkHS <b | 0.3.2.10 | 56300 | 1 | | ${CONTACT_GPG_FINGERPRINT} ${CONTACT_NAME} ${CONTA | 0.3.1.10,0.3.1.9 | 50720 | 4 | | Itzhak Daniel <itzhak+tor(a)itk98.net> | 0.3.1.10 | 50420 | 3 | | Ghost <torabuse AT cridyn dot com> | 0.3.2.10 | 47900 | 3 | | staff(a)dotsrc.org | 0.3.2.10 | 45100 | 2 | | 0x77A31D11 Tony Olagbaiye <frony0 AT gmail dot com | 0.3.0.10 | 41000 | 1 | | Sebastian <tor(a)sebastianhahn.net> -

I Have Worked Out An (Experiemental) Way To Run A Relay Or Obfuscated Bridge On Windows And Update On Relay "Torland"
by Keifer Bly 06 Oct '18

06 Oct '18

Hi all, I wanted to report a method I have found of running a tor relay on Windows, as well as an obfuscated bridge. So when I switched over to Windows, I had to start a new relay as my signing keys were lost in the transit. I decided to switch over to running a bridge, as I am running on a home router to cut down on connections, etc. For setting up a new relay on Windows, these are the steps that worked (cmd says I have generated a fingerprint). Step 1: Download the tor expert bundle from here https://www.torproject.org/download/download Step 2: Extract the tor expert bundle to the desktop. Step 3: Run “tor.exe” as administrator (doing so will create the folders were going to be running tor from later. Step 4: Open the “run” command. Using this, open “C:\Users\keife\AppData\Roaming\tor” (Where is says “keife” you will need to type your username). Step 5: Go back to the folder that the tor expert bundle was extracted to formerly. Open the folder called “Tor” and copy / paste all of the contents of it over to the roaming/tor folder you just opened using the run command. Step 6: Right click inside the folder, and select New -> Text Document, name the text file “torrc” and open it using notepad. Step 7: In the torrc text file just created, type nothing else but the configuration for your relay, for example Nickname torland SocksPort 0 ORPort 9002 ExitRelay 0 ContactInfo keifer dot bly at gmail dot com ExitPolicy reject *:* Change the nickname to what you want your relay to be called, ORPort to what port you are forwarding on, ContactInfo to your email address, etc. Go file -> save then close notepad. Step 8: To start a middle relay, do not click tor.exe as it will not recognize torrc in txt file format. Instead we will use Windows Command Prompt to ask “tor.exe” to read the torcc file. Open cmd, and type “cd”, then a space, then “C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\tor”. This will point command prompt to the directory where tor is. Step 9: in CMD, type “tor.exe -f torrc.txt” This will send a command to tor to read the file called “torrc.txt” in the file directory, and start a relay. Now, I will go to how tonight I was able to start an obfs4 obfscated bridge on Windows (at least to where it says I have a fingerprint and a “registered server transport ‘obfs4’). Step 1: After doing all of the things above, download the tor browser from https://www.torproject.org/download/download Step 2: Install tor browser, then navigate to the folder you installed tor browser to. Step 3: In the folder tor browser was installed to, above the “start tor browser” button, there will be a folder called “Browser”. Open this folder, open “TorBrowser” folder, then open “Tor” folder. Right click the folder called “pluggable transports” and copy / paste it to the “roaming/tor” folder. Step 4: Now to edit the torrc file to run the obfuscated bridge. Here is a somewhat example torrc file (my current one) Nickname torland SOCKSPort 0 # no local SOCKS proxy ORPort 9002 # public bridge must have an open ORPort ExtORPort auto # configure ExtORPort for obfs4proxy ExitPolicy reject *:* # no exits allowed BridgeRelay 1 # relay won't show up in the public consensus PublishServerDescriptor 1 # publish to the bridge authority ContactInfo keifer dot bly at gmail dot com # use obfs4proxy to provide obfs4 on port 80 ServerTransportPlugin obfs4 exec C:\Users\keife\AppData\Roaming\tor\PluggableTransports\obfs4proxy.exe ServerTransportListenAddr obfs4 0.0.0.0:9002. To try running any kind of obfusacted bridge, try editing “ServerTransportPlugin obfs4 exec C:\Users\keife\AppData\Roaming\tor\PluggableTransports\obfs4proxy.exe” to the exe of the pluggable transport you want to run. Doing this, after starting it about an hour ago, has resulted in this output from tor, it is a picture on a google drive link as the list does not allow photos and there is now way to edit copy text from command prompt. Cheers. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1aPVIYox5ZD_JwpqnRGFk-bGxDjRDc_OL --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Fast search for underutilized ASN space?
by Isaac Grover, Aileron I.T. 06 Oct '18

06 Oct '18

Good morning fellow relay operators, I am interested in reaching out to the ISPs in underutilized ASNs to share their acceptance for exit nodes with the relay operator community so that interested parties can set up nodes with those ISPs as they are able. Previously I seem to recall being able to use Atlas to search for fewest exit nodes per both ASN and country but am currently unable to reproduce that functionality in Tor Metrics, Onionoo, or Globe. So before I invest the time in such a project, would there be interest from the relay community in receiving such information? Make your day great, Isaac Grover, Senior I.T. Consultant Aileron I.T. - "Practical & Proactive I.T. Solutions" Office: 715-377-0440, Fax:715-690-1029, Web: www.aileronit.com

Running A Tor Relay On Windows 10 (Was Continuing To Run A Relay On Mac OS High Sierra Via Homebrew After A New Mac OS Version Is Released)
by Keifer Bly 05 Oct '18

05 Oct '18

Hello, So adding to the previous discussion, I was not able to run Debian Linux on my machine, or the new Mac OS. What I ended up doing was formatting the hard drive (erasing the OS and all), then did a fresh install of Debian Linux, which after installing failed to load. However, what I then did a fresh install of was Windows 10, and it is successfully up and running. I have my relay fingerprint backed up. If someone could please send me the instructions for running a relay on Windows 10, that would be appreciated. I know I could run a Debian Linux virtual machine, but would rather not have to deal with VMs. Your instructions (or ideas) are appreciated. Thank you.

Continuing To Run A Relay On Mac OS High Sierra Via Homebrew After A New Mac OS Version Is Released
by Keifer Bly 04 Oct '18

04 Oct '18

Hi all, So I am having a bit of a dilemma, the computer I am running my relay on is running Mac OS High Sierra, and despite the fact that Apple Support had priorly told me it would be able to run Mojave (via the serial number) when I go to install Mojave, I get an error saying Mojave “cannot be installed on this computer”. Ugh. As my relay is running via homebrew, I created a homebrew support ticket for this incident, and this was their response. “Generally homebrew supports only the last 3 releases, which would mean you have 2 more years of bottle support at least. It doesn’t mean it’ll stop working the day after it ends though. While having an up to date system is a good thing, the homebrew packages might very well work for years after official support is dropped, you’ll just have to compile updates for yourself.” The official homebrew support ticket can be viewed here: https://discourse.brew.sh/t/continued-support-for-certain-processes-on-olde… Seeing as they say homebrew supports the last three releases of Mac OS, I should be fine for another while. However, they hinted that the main thing that is dropped support for is bottles, so I am wondering if running the tor relay software via homebrew requires this process? I can’t really buy a new computer right now, and that’s the only available that isn’t a laptop, so I am trying to find available options. Thanks all.

Greypony IT - Public Statement to the Tor Community
by Nathaniel Suchy 04 Oct '18

04 Oct '18

Hi everyone, I'm writing to you all on behalf of Conrad. There have been a few messages posted here in regards to Greypony IT and a lack of responses from Conrad. Conrad is NOT ignoring you nor being malicious. Conrad had a stroke and has been seeking medical attention. Likewise he's unable to provide customer support or fix issues as he's in a hospital. The issue affecting several customers is at the ISP Level - system administrators such as myself are unable to SSH into the Xenserver to fix customer issues. This is something Conrad will have to fix after he recovers. I'm unable to fix individual virtual machines for customers until the hypervisors are fixed. It's quite possible that customers will choose to cancel services and/or switch providers and/or request an SLA Credit or a refund. This is understandable. We will address requests on a case by case basis as soon as possible. To address a few things I've seen floating around here and on a few IRC channels: 1) Greypony IT has not been shut down. We've been unable to address a network outage. 2) Greypony IT has not had equipment seized by LE to the best of my knowledge. Hopefully this provides everyone insight - I know it's not a solution but we want everyone to know. Cordially, Nathaniel Suchy

Question Re: firewall rules for obfs4 bridge relay
by torrelay.europa＠keemail.me 03 Oct '18

03 Oct '18

Hello, I'm in the process of setting up a couple of obfs4 bridge relays on Ubuntu server 18.04. I'm endeavoring to apply strict firewall rules to ensure only the necessary ports are open. In accordance with the configuration (below) I've allowed port 9001: #Bridge config RunAsDaemon 1 ORPort 9001 BridgeRelay 1 ServerTransportPlugin obfs4 exec /usr/bin/obfs4proxy ExtORPort auto #Set your bridge nickname and contact info ContactInfo <your-contact-info> Nickname pick-a-nickname I've also allowed port 9051 to enable me to connect to the obfs4 server via onionbox. After starting the Tor service the Tor logs report, Opening Socks listener on 127.0.0.1:9050 Opening Control listener on 127.0.0.1:9051 Opening OR listener on 0.0.0.0:9001 Extended OR listener listening on port XXXXX. Registered server transport 'obfs4' at '[::]:33919' All of the ports listed (above) appear to be fixed ports that open each time I start/restart Tor. However, the "Extended OR listener listening on port XXXXX" changes on each start/restart. I can see the configuration (above) instructs ExtORPort auto. I've looked online where there is some advice suggesting the auto setting for ExtORPort is important for security reasons, however, if I'd like to have strict firewall rules the auto setting becomes problematic. Currently, I've allowed port 9001 & the Tor logs report, Now checking whether ORPort XXX.XXX.XXX.XX:9001 is reachable... Self-testing indicates your ORPort is reachable from the outside. I'd be grateful for some advice on which ports I should keep open, to ensure I can provide the very best service & good security practice both for the client & the server - thanks :) Best regards, Kenneth

Re: [tor-relays] bridge on the public server - IP reputation

If tor bridge > service > will run on that machine (IP), will it generate any impact for IP > reputation ? I mean blacklisting. > > Greetings > Fazii A bridge's IP is not on a public list. So generally running a bridge shouldn't affect your reputation at all. Average people who don't use tor will not know that you run a bridge on that IP and don't care unless you tell them. Average people who want to use that bridge will appreciate it. Other service providers will not know about that fact and probably don't care either unless you tell them, because it doesn't affect their services. Since a bridge is used as a first hop in a tor circuit and not as an exit only other tor relays will receive connections from it. If your ISP doesn't allow you to run a tor relay but doesn't put too much effort into monitoring your traffic they'll probably not notice that you are running a bridge. A sensor who tries to block access to the tor network may find out your IP and block access to your other services, too. If you provide a service that is being sensored in some countries then people from those countries probably won't be able to connect to your bridge either.

Re: [tor-relays] Jerk spammers on tor-relays (was Re: Fwd: Tor GuardRelay)

01 Oct '18

So, for me, it appears that the jerk spammers have advanced, Instead of sending spam to the tor-relays(a)lists.torproject.org email address, they are now directly sending spam to specific addresses subscribed to the list. I got one today from colemanrosettad(a)gmail.com, and have been receiving some over the last few days that were sent directly to this email address. I did not think they were related, but the other email addresses the one I received today was also sent to the addresses below, which I believe are addresses that are subscribed to the list. I have reported it to Google via their abuse report email address which is registrar-abuse(a)google.com, so I will see what they say (and forward it to the list if requested). The other addresses were: johndalton289(a)gmail.com, and teor2345(a)gmail.com. I tried attaching a photo of the "to" field but it was rejected due to size limitations. Just thought I'd give a heads up.

"Safe" ports for exit node that won't attract LEA?
by Isaac Grover, Aileron I.T. 26 Sep '18

26 Sep '18

Good morning fellow exit node operators, I have set up an exit node in my home on a separate IP address away from all other traffic. I'm well aware of the risks from dated articles posted many years ago, so if you're going to send warnings and scary stories, please do so off list. I won't be running it with all ports open; rather I'm interested in ports that still provide benefit to the Tor network but don't attract the attention of law enforcement. Currently I am exiting port 8333 (Bitcoin) and nothing else, but am open to other non - risky ports. Make your day great, Isaac Grover, Senior I.T. Consultant Aileron I.T. - "Practical & Proactive I.T. Solutions" Office: 715-377-0440, Fax:715-690-1029, Web: www.aileronit.com

New Exit-Relay / First abuse issues
by tor-markus 26 Sep '18

26 Sep '18

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hey *, I run C65EF5E06B8338CF976D376048BE2C8FBD499C9C for about a month. On Monday I received the first abuse ticket from my ISP (Contabo GmbH). The ticket contained lots and lots of log information from a fail2ban system so GMail sent it right into the spam folder. 24 hours later I received a monitoring e-mail that my server was down. After a little search through my mails I found out that Contabo shuts down all services within 24h if there is no reply. That kinda sucked because I run some private services on this machine (different ip). Contabo's mail claimed that a 30€ fee would be due in order to cover their work for disabling and enabling the server. A very very unfriendly e-mail and about an hour of time later my server was back online :) (Note: the e-mail was sent around 10 PM and I received the answer at about 11 PM, so the abuse department is there 24/7. Their hotline however, can't deal with abuse complaints, they can only be handled via e-mail.) Contabo sent me a (probably) automated e-mail that the issue was resolved and no further action is needed. Overall I think its a little unprofessional to shutdown servers within 24 hours without trying to call a customer, or at least several e-mail reminders over a day or two. Markus This is my new abuse e-mail template for German speaking hosting providers: Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, Auf dem Server wird eine Tor-Exit Node betrieben. NachTMG §8ist der Betreiber von jeder Haftung für die durchgeleiteten Daten befreit, dies gilt für mich als Ihren Kunden sowohl als auch für Sie als mein ISP.

Diese Übermittlungen sind weder von mir veranlasst noch wird der Adressant oder die zu übermittelnden Informationen ausgesucht und oder verändert. Unter der IP Adresse X.X.X.X werden keinerlei Daten bereitgestellt.

Im Falle von Spam / Brute Force empfehlen ich dem Absender der abuse E-Mail seine Systeme mit Tools wieFail2Ban,reCAPTCHA zu schützen. Im Falle von gehäuften (D)DoS Attacken gibt es die Möglichkeit das gesamte Tor Netzwerk zu blockieren. Hierfür steht ein eine jederzeit aktuelle Blacklist aller Tor-ExitNodes bereit: https://www.torproject.org/projects/tordnsel.html Falls ausschließlich über die IP X.X.X.X bösartiger Traffic ausgeht kann der Absender der abuse E-Mail diesen mithilfe von iptables blockieren: iptables -A INPUT -s X.X.X.X -j DROP Falls der Absender diese Möglichkeit nicht hinnehmen möchte, kann von meiner Seite aus jeder Traffic zu seiner IP bzw. zu einzelnen Ports unterbunden werden.

As can be seen from theoverview page, the Tor network is designed to make tracing of users impossible. The Tor network is run by some 5000 volunteers who use the free software provided by the Tor Project to run Tor routers. Client connections are routed through multiple relays, and are multiplexed together on the connections between relays. The system does not record logs of client connections or previous hops. This is because the Tor network is a censorship resistance, privacy, and anonymity system used by whistle blowers, journalists, Chinese dissidents skirting the Great Firewall, abuse victims, stalker targets, the US military, and law enforcement, just to name a few. Seehttps://www.torproject.org/about/torusers.html.enfor more info. Unfortunately, some people misuse the network. However, compared to the rate of legitimate use, abuse complaints are rare.https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq-abuse.html.en > This does not mean that nothing can be done, however. The Tor project provides an automated DNSRBL for you to query to flag traffic coming from Tor nodes.https://www.torproject.org/projects/tordnsel.html.en. In general, we believe that problems like this are best solved by improving your service to defend against the attack from the Internet at large. > > As a German individual I fully comply with the Germantelemedia law §15. This prohibits logging any personally identifiable data or usage data except for billing purposes. As we do not charge any users any fees we will not be able to keep any connection data now and in the future. Furthermore I am protected by German telemedia law §8, which protects me from any liability for traffic that passes through my infrastructure on behalf of users. This also protects my ISP (XXX) from any liability. > > Thanks for your understanding, > XXX Für dringliche Angelegenheiten bitte ich Sie mich direkt unter +XXXX zu kontaktieren.

Willing to be FallbackDir
by Quake 23 Sep '18

23 Sep '18

Hello, I'm interested on being a FallbackDir. Relay details: Nick: Quake Fingerprint: 490FB3FAAF8837407D94CA7E1DEF025DEF0F3516 Dir address: 178.175.139.122:80 A few restarts here and there but downtimes so far have been just few minutes max. I tend to run the latest Tor unstable versions and update as fast as possible when a new version comes out. If you feel like the relay's eligible to be added as a FallbackDir then by all means, feel free to add it to the source code.

Re: [tor-relays] Help! TOR Relat dead after upgrading Ubuntu to 18.04
by Ben Riley 23 Sep '18

23 Sep '18

I'm back in business!!!! THANK YOU!! So I changed a couple of ports and also opened those on my router. Previously I only had 9030 & 9001. I've added DirPort on 9051, Socks on 9050. I've actually got 4 ports open on the router for TOR - 9001, 9030, 9050 & 9051. I set 9030 as my control port in torrc - does that port need to be open on the router? Or can I remove that port forward? I have one of the authentication methods unhashed, so I believe that protects that somewhat. netstat -tlpn returns the following: Active Internet connections (only servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:9051 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 9531/tor tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:9030 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 9531/tor tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:9001 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 9531/tor tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:5939 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1342/teamviewerd tcp 0 0 127.0.0.53:53 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 747/systemd-resolve tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:631 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 6055/cupsd tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:9050 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 9531/tor tcp6 0 0 ::1:631 :::* LISTEN 6055/cupsd nyx appears to be running fine now. I can see the graph and log messages like previously. It pulled my previous Nickname, but I currently have no flags, so I'm guessing that will update later. I've got the exit policy set to reject *:* however, as I don't want to blow my ISP off. Is that about it? Can anyone think of anything else I need to check?

Hi, I recently migrated my tor node to new hardware: t0rnod3 5582BBEC12380E34D7DFB8C237939A0B317B205E Copying the /var/lib/tor/keys/ folder on the process. Now my node do not handles circuits, nor it's shown in atlas and I see the following on the logs: [notice] Heartbeat: It seems like we are not in the cached consensus.

by Colin Childs 21 Sep '18

21 Sep '18

Hello tor-relays, At 6:30PM on October 2nd, the Tor Project will be hosting a relay operator meetup in Mexico City, at the Sheraton Maria Isabel[1][2]. Come along and meet other relay operators and hear the latest news from Tor — we’ll also have T-shirts and stickers to kit out your devices. If you don’t run a relay but would like to know more, there will be lots of people at the meetup happy to help you. I also encourage you to read the complete blog post on the Tor Meeting Open Days linked below[1]. There are multiple other events happening around the meeting that relay operators may be interested in. We would love to see you there, thank you all for being part of the relay operator community!

Tor Relay Software Warns When Current Running Version Of Tor Is No Longer Recommended, But Not When A Newer Version Is Available?
by Keifer Bly 21 Sep '18

21 Sep '18

Hello, A few days ago, I upgraded my version of tor from 0.3.3.9 to tor 0.3.4.8. I noticed, however, that tor does not tell me when a new version is available. But in the past when I was a few versions behind, it popped up with a message saying “WARNING: this version of tor is out of date or no longer recommended.” So, I am just wondering, why is it that the tor software warns when the current version is “no longer recommended” but does not warn when an update is available? Thanks.

IPv6 on DSL
by Paul 20 Sep '18

20 Sep '18

Can Tor cope with a daily changing IPv6 Address? If so, are there any additional inputs in torrc to be made as "ip addr|grep inet6|grep global" is not giving a fix value (global noprefixroute dynamic ) Thanks Paul
