tor on Centos version question
by torix＠protonmail.com 24 Mar '20

24 Mar '20

I can see that my Debian relay went from 0.4.2.6 to 0.4.2.7 a few days ago automatically with auto updates set up. However, my hosted relay, which runs on Centos 7, is still at version 0.3.5.8. I am using the epel repo version. Is that okay? Or should I have added a tor repo? TIA, --Torix Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.

Re: [tor-relays] Dirport9030

As I said, I'm still learning. I have a server at Hetzner with a monthly limit of 20TB, and I am trying to adjust the speed so that it does not exceed 20TB at the end of the month. The problem is that whenever I place the BandwidthRate and BandwidthBurst above 10MB I lose the Guard, HSdir and V2Dir flags. On the page https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#search/TugaOnion I see that DirPort is 0 instead of 9030. I have the BandwidthRate and BandwidthBurst at 9MB and everything is fine, but I will reach the end of the month and I only spent about 10TB. Cumprimentos; TugaOnion -- Securely sent with Tutanota.

Is it wise to continue to allow yahoo email accounts to request bridges?
by Keifer Bly 23 Mar '20

23 Mar '20

Hi all, So for those who did not know, Yahoo (and as such Yahoo Mail) is now owned by Verizon. They bought both Yahoo and AOL and combined them into Verizon Media. For this reason, it seems like allowing Yahoo Mail accounts would in turn allow a large scale ISP (in this case Verizon) to easily obtain bridges. Does anyone agree on this? It's just a thought. Thanks. --Keifer

Relay Or/Dirport Unreachable
by Kathi 23 Mar '20

23 Mar '20

Plan: Configure relay on local cable connection (Century Link). The idea is to have the relay proofed operational the way I want it and then move it (torrc) to a droplet after it has been in operation for three days. Doing this saves cost in downloading to the droplet. Modem Zyxel C3000 _was_ set to port forward on 9001, 9030, and 9050 IP 192.XXX.X.X Turn off UpnP (plug and play) <relay fails with it on> GUFW is set to allow the above ports – reload to allow changes after much struggling/research to open ports 9001/9030 nc -zv 127.0.0.1 9001/9030 Connection to 127.0.0.1 9001 port [tcp/*] succeeded! <9030 also> Alrighty then! Tor –verify-config <many probs here, but cleared> No complaints NOTE: I know tor.Nyx should not be run as root, I get that. Tor/Nyx are running as root. I don’t know how to use debian-tor as usr. Nyx shows in it’s configuration as usr debian-tor. Su debian-tor produces a rollover back to root usr prompt. service tor start Nyx – No complaints, running as default. After just two minutes of operation the relay was running at 2 MB/s with bursts up to 3 MB/s. After the obligatory/frustrating twenty minute wait for or/dirport hand shaking I get:orport/dirport unreachable…. Adnauseum! Changed IP address to one given by tor, still unreachable. Lastly, I removed the 900l/9030 ports from the modem and installed 6969 as the orport. Changed GUFW, verified the changes took place, changed ip to real world IP 63.xxx.xxx.xxx in torrc. Hand shaking to the orport was almost immediate. Right now, the relay after twenty hours of operation is tortusing along at 20 B/s. Which to me is pure BS. Can someone give me some idea’s as to what I am doing wrong? Kathi

When will my relay gain the stable flag again?

My relay (903CA67D0DEB74CFBB01432840A26CB8C6C18FDF) is ~2 years old. Recently, I had a series of network issues that took my relay offline for unexpectedly long times. When it has gone offline before and lost the stable flag, it usually took only a couple days to pick it back up again. It is approaching 8 days since I finally got things resolved with a new router, but still no stable flag. I also used to have the guard flag, but I know I can't get back to guard status without the stable flag. Thanks.

Disregard - the relay picked up the stable flag tonight.

Niftybunny, Thank you for the fun pictures. But the question on my mind: is "niftybunny" the brown marbled bunny or the larger white bunny? Or is "niftybunny" a cloud entity like the Borg?

Re: [tor-relays] Improving Relay IPv6 - RIPE Grant

Hi, I was wondering how you will implement IPv6-only relays. What limits will you set on how many relays can be per /(something)? Will you allow only two relays per /64, for example? Do you have any plans for that already?
