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.

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
by ILikeTor 18 Mar '20

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?

Migrating to a new data center
by niftybunny 18 Mar '20

Comrades! Today the united rodent liberation army transitioned to a new data center in order to more effectively fight for privacy, security and freedom for every fluffy creature on this earth! We will work paw-in-paw to create a brighter future not only for us, but for every privacy-minded critter everywhere. Together we hop and together we fight! We are now online with 60cores/120 threads (Xeon), 384 gigabyte ram and a 60 gigabit connection. We will boost our puny traffic in the next weeks. For full transparency we also release these pictures of me and our QA team working hard to bring only the best of the best to you: https://i.imgur.com/iKh61E8.jpg <https://i.imgur.com/iKh61E8.jpg> https://i.imgur.com/4gnzncD.jpg <https://i.imgur.com/4gnzncD.jpg> https://i.imgur.com/DD0uaGC.jpg <https://i.imgur.com/DD0uaGC.jpg> https://i.imgur.com/VG7pm3S.jpg <https://i.imgur.com/VG7pm3S.jpg> https://i.imgur.com/wgRv8FU.jpg <https://i.imgur.com/wgRv8FU.jpg> niftybunny

Port Forwarding Question
by William Pate 18 Mar '20

This constantly trips me up. In my modem settings, I'm offered these options for port forwarding. I know I need to open 9001, but what do I enter into the external port fields? Thank you! William Pate willpate(a)pm.me 512-947-3311 inadequate.net

Fwd: Upcoming Tor security releases to fix a denial-of-service issue
by Nick Mathewson 17 Mar '20

17 Mar '20

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Nick Mathewson <nickm(a)torproject.org> Date: Mon, Mar 16, 2020 at 1:25 PM Subject: Upcoming Tor security releases to fix a denial-of-service issue To: <tor-talk(a)lists.torproject.org> Hello! Some time this week, we currently plan to put out a set of security updates for all supported versions of Tor. These releases will fix a pair of denial-of-service bugs: one that we are classifying at "low" severity, and one that we are classifying at "high" severity. Our recommendation will be for everybody, including relays and clients, to upgrade once packages are available for their platforms. Although these vulnerabilities are "only" denial-of-service issues, any denial-of-service attack against Tor could be leveraged by an attacker to aid in a traffic analysis attack. To the best of our knowledge, these vulnerabilities are not being exploited in the wild. Currently supported release series are 0.3.5, 0.4.1, 0.4.2, and 0.4.3 (alpha). If you have not yet upgraded to one of those, the time to do so is soon. For our policy and process for handing security issues, please see: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkTeam/Securit… best wishes, -- Nick

Consensus Weight Dropping/Authority Issues?
by John Ricketts 16 Mar '20

16 Mar '20

Hello, I have been watching the consensus weight and bandwidth of all of my 50 exit nodes drop consistently over the past few months. I have not made any hardware changes in my data center and actual customers have not complained about any performance issues. Operating systems and Tor version are up to date. I'm dedicating a significant portion of bandwidth to these nodes - 10gbit/sec. Am I having issues with the bandwidth authorities? I'm growing frustrated with my performance to resources ratio, I should be doing far better than this. Please throw ideas at me - open to any ideas. Thanks! John Quintex Alliance Consulting

Relays will be getting clock skew warnings today
by Roger Dingledine 15 Mar '20

15 Mar '20

Hi folks! One of the directory authorities, dizum, has a wrong clock today. And it is causing warning lines for every relay who interacts with it. :( The log lines will look like this: Mar 14 16:17:40.121 [warn] Received directory with skewed time (DIRSERV:45.66.33.45:80): It seems that our clock is behind by 2 hours, 0 minutes, or that theirs is ahead. Tor requires an accurate clock to work: please check your time, timezone, and date settings. I contacted the directory authority operator and he is working on fixing it. Hopefully he'll get it fixed today, and we can point the flood of concerned mails to this thread. :) Thanks, --Roger
