Port 853
by mnlph74 16 May '20

I'm running a relay and planning to put an exit at port 853 (DNS over TLS) Is this safe from abuse? Thanks for the help. 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

obfs4 bridge port question
by torix＠protonmail.com 11 May '20

11 May '20

I am looking at the post install instructions here after putting up my first bridge: https://community.torproject.org/relay/setup/bridge/post-install/ and thought I would try out the bridgeline for it. Bridge obfs4 <IP ADDRESS>:<PORT> <FINGERPRINT> cert=<CERTIFICATE> iat-mode=0 I have all the parts mentioned in the text except for <PORT>. I have ExtORPort set to auto, so I never picked a port in my torrc. How do I get there from here? TIA, --Torix Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.

bridge down
by Anonforpeace 11 May '20

11 May '20

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.
