Verizon.com blocked on Tor Middle Relay on FiOS
by Neel Chauhan 31 May '19

31 May '19

Hi, I have a Tor middle relay on Verizon FiOS. If I try to access Verizon.com on the FiOS connection running a Tor middle relay, I get this error: > Access denied, in accordance with Verizon Information Security Policy > Please contact us if there is a legitimate business need to access this > content. They gave an email address to the EdgeCast NOC that I contacted, but the EdgeCast support said I should contact FiOS and not EdgeCast, even though I think the blocking is on EdgeCast's side (if it was on FiOS then I would get a "Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site" error from Firefox). Other Verizon sites such as Verizon Wireless and Verizon Media/Oath properties like AOL/Yahoo/Tumblr/HuffPost/etc. are not blocked on FiOS running Tor (heck, I can even sign up for Tumblr on exit relays), even though these other Verizon sites also use EdgeCast. For those who have middle relays on their home broadband connection (not bridge or exit), both on Verizon FiOS and other ISPs regardless of country or technology, please test for if Verizon.com is blocked. Thank You, Neel Chauhan

That would be an input VPN... perhaps useful if DPI was breaking user's tor access protocols (to bridges or regular entry guards), but not their VPN traffic. Output VPN's could also be useful to allow tor users to bind their stack to it over tor, thus permitting UDP back and forth from clearnet... typical with voice video comms and a bunch of other applications that have been disabled for tor users becase tor only supports TCP. Operators would have to publish their VPN node info somewhere for users to use... or getbridges, getvpns. There are prior exploratory threads on this here before. Operators can also be running and supporting VPNGate.net service as both input and output.

Tor relay says it is reachable, but is not appearing on the network.
by Keifer Bly 24 May '19

24 May '19

Hi all, something very strange is going on with my relay called torworld. For some reason, the tor software is reporting that the relay is reachable and the relay is sending and receiving data (please see the attached screenshot), but after several days the relay is not appearing on the tor relay list. This seems strange and any ideas as to why this might be happening is appreciated. Thank you. running on Debian via Google Cloud VPS. Thank you. --Keifer

Scanning relays looking for onions
by Jordan 24 May '19

24 May '19

Looks like someone is making HTTP requests to known relays with a host header of an onion address. I have a webserver that returns 200 OK to all requests for honeypot-related fun and well... I can only imagine what they think my relay hosts as a result. Stay safe out there friends. 2019-05-23T02:43:58Z 5.8.10.[snip] 200 jg4rli4xoagvvmw47fr2bnnf[snip].onion / -- Jordan https://yui.cat/

forward relay connections
by tor-relay＠riseup.net 23 May '19

23 May '19

Hello dear friends I'm running a non exit relay on a debian machine (in the next few months I will switch to *BSD) on a Lime2. I'm running an exit relay too on a remote VM. I would turn my non-exit relay in an exit one, but for obvious reasons, I don't want to run It from my shitty ISP IP. I could give 10-14 mbps from my home connection, so I think that the lime2 would be powerful enough to run It properly. Do you think would be feasible to use SSH to forward all connections, except DNS queries, between my Lime2 and the remote VM in order to use an additional VM's IP? Could you give me some tips please? cheers Gigi

Tor relay problem
by findmei 21 May '19

21 May '19

Hi guys, I recently set up a tor relay on Centos7.But when I check the node at https://metrics.torproject.org/, i see that the relay is offline.Even though it is online.I looked tor log file. There was two common warning. May 15 14:42:13.000 [warn] Unable to stat resolver configuration in '/etc/resolv.conf': Permission denied May 15 14:49:13.000 [warn] HTTP status 307 ("Temporary Redirect") was unexpected while uploading descriptor to server '86.59.21.38:80'. Possibly the server is misconfigured? I try to chmod 777 /etc/resolv.conf for this warning " /etc/resolv.conf': Permission denied".But it didnt work it.And then i searched it on google for "HTTP status 307 ("Temporary Redirect")" .But i didn't find solution.Any suggestions? /etc/tor/torrc => https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/tD6zg2mwZy/ /var/log/tor/notices.log => https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/JsPGdgFJyT/ systemctl statust tor -l => https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/qpppzVK8qR/ Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.
