Atlas Country Flag
by Anders Burmeister 20 Mar '18

20 Mar '18

Gentlemen How come, after update to latest tor version. the small flags at Atlas start to behave abnormal? The case is, I have 6 relays: 2 France 1 Canada 1 Polen 1 Germany 1 UK The one in Canada and the two in France shows the correct Country Flag. But Germany, Polen and UK shows the France Flag. Should I take it personally, or just be patient and drink more coffee? Best regards Anders Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.

stem library: huge difference between resolvers "proc" and others, eg. "netstat"
by Toralf Förster 17 Mar '18

17 Mar '18

I do wonder about the differences of "proc" versus the other 3 ("netstat, "lsof" and "ss") related to the Inbound/Outbound values at my Tor relay. As an example I copied below the output of "proc" and "netstat". Does anybody have a clue about those differences? mr-fox ~ # python ~/stem/docs/_static/example/relay_connections.py --ctrlport 9051 --resolver proc 0.3.4.0-alpha-dev uptime: 06:48:29 flags: Exit, Fast, Guard, Running, Stable, V2Dir, Valid +------------------------------+------+------+ | Type | IPv4 | IPv6 | +------------------------------+------+------+ | Inbound to our ORPort | 2107 | 6 | | Inbound to our DirPort | 15 | 0 | | Outbound to a relay | 1753 | 0 | | Outbound exit traffic | 155 | 302 | | Outbound uncategorized | 119 | 0 | +------------------------------+------+------+ | Total | 4149 | 308 | +------------------------------+------+------+ +------------------------------+------+------+ | Exit Port | IPv4 | IPv6 | +------------------------------+------+------+ | 80 (HTTP) | 111 | 61 | | 143 (IMAP) | 1 | 0 | | 443 (HTTPS) | 0 | 229 | | 465 (SMTP) | 1 | 0 | | 993 (IMAPS) | 13 | 0 | | 5222 (Jabber) | 8 | 2 | | 5223 (Jabber) | 6 | 0 | | 7777 | 1 | 0 | | 8080 (HTTP Proxy) | 4 | 4 | | 8333 (Bitcoin) | 2 | 2 | | 8888 (NewsEDGE) | 2 | 0 | | 50002 (Electrum Bitcoin SSL) | 6 | 4 | +------------------------------+------+------+ | Total | 155 | 302 | +------------------------------+------+------+ mr-fox ~ # python ~/stem/docs/_static/example/relay_connections.py --ctrlport 9051 --resolver netstat 0.3.4.0-alpha-dev uptime: 06:48:41 flags: Exit, Fast, Guard, Running, Stable, V2Dir, Valid +------------------------------+------+------+ | Type | IPv4 | IPv6 | +------------------------------+------+------+ | Inbound to our ORPort | 4883 | 6 | | Inbound to our DirPort | 35 | 0 | | Inbound to our ControlPort | 1 | 0 | | Outbound to a relay | 4174 | 0 | | Outbound exit traffic | 390 | 293 | | Outbound uncategorized | 267 | 0 | +------------------------------+------+------+ | Total | 9750 | 299 | +------------------------------+------+------+ +------------------------------+------+------+ | Exit Port | IPv4 | IPv6 | +------------------------------+------+------+ | 80 (HTTP) | 300 | 68 | | 110 (POP3) | 1 | 0 | | 143 (IMAP) | 4 | 0 | | 443 (HTTPS) | 0 | 214 | | 465 (SMTP) | 1 | 0 | | 1883 | 1 | 0 | | 3128 (SQUID) | 1 | 0 | | 5222 (Jabber) | 21 | 2 | | 5223 (Jabber) | 18 | 0 | | 6667 (IRC) | 4 | 0 | | 7777 | 2 | 0 | | 8080 (HTTP Proxy) | 14 | 3 | | 8333 (Bitcoin) | 8 | 2 | | 8888 (NewsEDGE) | 3 | 0 | | 50002 (Electrum Bitcoin SSL) | 12 | 4 | +------------------------------+------+------+ | Total | 390 | 293 | +------------------------------+------+------+ -- Toralf PGP C4EACDDE 0076E94E

hourly CPU spike at <hour>:02

caused by both of the 2 Tor exits here at a Linux server. I do wonder what both processes do exactly 2 minutaes past each hour for about half a minute? -- Toralf PGP C4EACDDE 0076E94E

new Tor exit
by Arisbe 16 Mar '18

16 Mar '18

Hello all, I rolled out a new Tor exit [0] this morning West Coast U.S. time. It's special to me because I've negotiated the trust of a host company in Albania. I was the first Tor relay in that country and now I'm the first exit relay there. This trust took me a year to establish. I run a number of relays-both exit and non-exit. I run a dozen bridges for people that need the ISP connectivity. I host classes in Southwest Washington State to teach ordinary people how to be safe while they're on the internet. I teach high-school pupils how to set up and operate Tor relays. Here is my problem: The aforementioned relay has been on for nearly 24-hours and not a single user has frequented my doorsteps. I have had seven of the nine authorities parked in this node for most of the time but no inbound connections (except for those referenced and two hackers) and no outbound or exit connections. There is nothing technically wrong with the installation so what gives. I this an issue of administrative paperwork? While I am very supportive of Tor, I am not with unlimited patience. I have a job, wife and kids and money pit house to maintain. Thanks for giving me a bit of advice to make this guy blossom. If I don't understand, I apologize to all.

How helpful is it to run your own DNS server?
by torix＠protonmail.com 16 Mar '18

16 Mar '18

Dear All, I have seen mentions on this list of people using pi-hole and unbound DNS servers in their setups, and I wondered if others had considered opinions as to the usefulness of doing this. Pi-hole's biggest feature seems to be their filter lists to block extra/evil DNS queries, while Unbound seems to feature caching and validating functions. I would think that a DNS cache that kept queries for a long time would certainly keep most of your queries out of an ISP's DNS logs. Or are there DNS providers that are relatively immune to their logs being requited by others? TIA, --Torix Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.

Tor program
by Arisbe 16 Mar '18

16 Mar '18

Hello People, Does anyone have a graphic or verbal discussion about the Tor network that they would share? I want to give a talk at the public library about the uses, advantage and how-to's of Tor. I want to get my facts correct before I commit to this task. Thanks

"Received http status code 404 ("Consensus is too old")" keeps popping up in my logs
by nottryingtobelame＠protonmail.com 16 Mar '18

16 Mar '18

I'm just wondering if there is anything I can do to resolve this. The relay is running ntpd and consistently keeps the right time, and I'm not getting this from any other server (it's the same IP address every time). Is this of concern or should I just ignore it? Will it hinder the relay's performance when I'm getting this error? Apologies for all the questions; I'm new to the mailing list. Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email.
