Inbound-outbound connexion ratio in tor
by torix＠protonmail.com 05 Jun '18

05 Jun '18

Dear List, Since I started running Tor 0.3.2.10 a few months ago, I tend to have 2 to 3 times the number of inbound connexions as outbound, as reported by nyx. I am running a middle relay on Debian, no special anything. Right now, for instance my inbound connexions are 2345, outbound are 861. The numbers never quite used to match, which made sense, because of tor overhead, but in a middle relay wouldn't they generally be about the same? Just wondering, --Torix Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.

Reinstalling Relay
by Matthew Glennon 05 Jun '18

05 Jun '18

When I installed my relay last year, I foolishly enabled disk encryption. This has caused a few automatic reboots or power failures to turn into a weekend of downtime. Today (or sometime this week) I'd like to rectify this by reinstalling the OS. I'm going to backup /var/lib/tor and my torrc, but I wanted to alert the masses in case I mess up and have to start over. The relay will be down during the process, but it shouldn't take more than an hour or so. https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/924B24AFA7F075D059E8EEB284CC… -- Matthew Glennon matthew(a)glennon.online PGP Signing Available Upon Request https://keybase.io/crazysane

Refusing to apply consensus diff
by Logforme 05 Jun '18

05 Jun '18

I run the non-exit relay 855BC2DABE24C861CD887DB9B2E950424B49FC34 Two days now I've seen this in my log file: Jun 05 06:25:02.000 [warn] Refusing to apply consensus diff because the base consensus doesn't match the digest as found in the consensus diff header.

Now I'm wondering if there is something I should do on my side?

Hi, I added a few new DNS related fields for exit relays to the ContactInfo sharing specification if you want to contribute towards a more complete picture on how exit relays configure DNS. https://github.com/nusenu/ContactInfo-Information-Sharing-Specification#dns… regards, nusenu -- https://mastodon.social/@nusenu twitter: @nusenu_

Running A Bridge Alongside My Relay
by Keifer Bly 27 May '18

27 May '18

Hello, So I am considering running a bridge alongside my relay gotland, as the network could probably use some more bridges. As I have said, I do not have any other network that I can run my relay from, however, what I might do is run my obsfacted bridge on a Linux Virtual Machine through a proxy server. Does anyone know any free proxy software out there this might be achievable with? Let me know what you think, thank you.
