Hello, My very stable Tor relay 16102E458460349EE45C0901DAA6C30094A9BBEA is now rebooting every two days since May 31, 2018. Running Tor 0.3.3.5-rc (git-4fe9670741478750) on Linux with Libevent 2.0.21-stable, OpenSSL 1.1.0f, Zlib 1.2.8 You will find a short extract of the Tor log below : May 31 23:12:27 mkuktra systemd[1]: tor(a)default.service: Main process exited, code=killed, status=7/BUS May 31 23:12:27 mkuktra systemd[1]: tor(a)default.service: Unit entered failed state.

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. Jun 05 06:25:02.000 [warn] Expected: 2E3DACFB12051F4A45F7F4DC062F6D47DC75DBA85EB72F8E5D43DF134940F2DA; found: 1573CFF458492B70BFDD4E91A594521C4DDD801B11936B8C148BF27F67736713 Jun 05 06:25:02.000 [warn] Could not apply consensus diff received from server '128.31.0.34:9131' (Repeated for 204.13.164.118, 131.188.40.189, 154.35.175.225, 194.109.206.212, 171.25.193.9, 199.58.81.140) First time I assumed it was just a glitch. Now I'm wondering if there is something I should do on my side?

New DNS related fields in the ContactInfo Sharing Specification

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.

New relay operator here
by privatesociety Tor 25 May '18

25 May '18

Hello tor relay community! I‘d like to introduce six new relays, which are operated by privatesociety, a community of people, which fighting for privacy based in europe. The six relays provide a capacity of around 300 mbit/s (total) and are hosted on networks, which aren‘t much used - so better for the tor community. I hope we are working great together. :) Look at meetrics for more details: https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#search/family:7AF3F4E88A5AE224DB7757… Anyway: We are maybe setting up an exit in the future, but for this we‘d like to join forces with other exit operators like TORSERVERS.net to have better connections in case of problems. Does anyone have contacts, which could be helpful?

Tor Software Update Question
by Keifer Bly 24 May '18

24 May '18

Hello, So I just updated the tor software using command “brew upgrade tor” on macOS. It upgraded from tor 0.3.3.0 to tor 0.3.3.6. I am wondering, do I need to restart my relay after doing this? I am also wondering, I have this email address in the “ContactInfo” in my torn file for tor project to contact me regarding issues with my relay, etc, but am wondering if there is a way to have this email for them to contact without displaying it publicly on my relay? Thank you very much.
