Tor Exit Relay CPU Usage Running at 100% for 1 MB/s on FreeBSD
by Neel Chauhan 12 Mar '19

12 Mar '19

Hi tor-relays@ mailing list, I have set up two exit relays on a FreeBSD 12.0 dedicated server: https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/1CD029594B08E07F29B9420410C2… https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/A0EB2BD840838FAD51BDAD86B0BA… Looking at my top stats, I get CPU usage of 100% most of the time (meaning 95% of the time) on both instances pushing around ~1 MB/s with both instances. The server is a HP Blade server and has a single Intel Xeon L5520 CPU with 16GB of RAM. Tor is configured to have 150 Mbps per instance, with a total of two instances. Why am I getting this abnormal CPU usage? What's the solution? I don't want to use Linux but can use another *BSD or Solaris/Illumos if I must. -Neel === https://www.neelc.org

Suspicious activity
by Vort 06 Mar '19

06 Mar '19

Hello. Did anyone noticed unusual connection count spikes for their relays? My relay encountered several ~1k spikes with rise time ~= 10 minutes: https://imgur.com/a/6JvB7gp Maybe it is someone trying to fool anti-DDoS protection? -- Vort

Relay Installed, port forwarded, but not responding
by Doug Roberts 05 Mar '19

05 Mar '19

I've installed the relay application, forwarded the ports as I normally do, but when I go to canyouseeme.org and try port 9001 or 9030, none of them show responding. I also don't see my IP in https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#search <https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fmetrics.torproject.org%2Frs.html…> even though it's been 6+ hours. A look at the routers shows that there is some traffic flowing through the ports, but it's so minimal I'm not sure what it is: https://is.gd/4NkFix Any ideas?

Running 2 relays with 0.4.0.2_alpha [err] descriptor at 0x8a0acdb0830 begins with unexpected string "".

I run one relay and another tor instance for hidden services and socksport. Haven't had a problem until 0.4.0.2_alpha. Ive had it crash twice so far. Maybe my configs aren't sane?

Debugging ipv6 conenctivity
by Charly Ghislain 25 Feb '19

25 Feb '19

Hi all, My tor relay has got the UnreachableIpv6 flag set once i mentionned an OrPort with my ipv6 address. >From what i can tell, my server is reachable over ipv6, and can contact the directory authorities through ipv6 (following the instructions found there: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TorRelayGuide#Makesurerelaypo… ). The node is behind an haproxy that relays ipv6 traffic to natted ipv4 (with no logging for those concerned). It seems to work fine for web content over ipv6, and traffic on both ips (v4 and v6) goes through this channel. I can successfully telnet my node ORPort using my v6 address. The ports have been defined this way in torrc: ORPort 0.0.0.0:9001 NoAdvertise ORPort 91.121.79.188:9001 NoListen ORPort [2001:41d0:1:84bc::1]:9001 NoListen Is there a way to make a tor client connect to a specific relay to debug this kind of connectivity issues? Or any other mean? In the meantime ive removed the advertized ip6. Regards, Charly

Memory Used dropped again with 0.3.5.8
by petrarca＠protonmail.ch 24 Feb '19

24 Feb '19

Just an fyi for those who might be interested... With upgrading to 0.3.5.8 the memory usage of my Tor relay dropped again to reasonable levels. It suddenly started to increase end of January causing my relay to crash twice before leveling around 45% (a week before I had an ISP outage). Now it's back to around 25%. The relay bandwidth consumed over all the time was pretty much stable. [Memory Used.png]
