Bridge bandwidth usage?
by Nathaniel Suchy 11 Jul '18

11 Jul '18

Hi. I would like to run a public OBFS4 Tor Bridge. Digitalocean’s price changes made running an exit too expensive. In comparison how much bandwidth would a Tor bridge use per month? Cheers, Nathaniel

Re: [tor-relays] Thoughts on automatically updating tor software on macos High Sierra

Tried that twice now and it has not worked. It’s strange, the error terminal returns when trying to launch the script to upgrade tor is this iMac:~ oldimac$ launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/starttorupgrade.plist /Library/LaunchDaemons/starttorupgrade.plist: Path had bad ownership/permissions This is very odd. I set the permissions to read and write for all users, but yet this error is still happening. I changed the permissions for the whole lanchdaemons folder as well and still no resolve to this. I even tried signing into the root user in Terminal to see if that would resolve the issue, it did not. Here is the code for the two scripts I wrote, they were too big to send as attachments. Perhaps I am doing something wrong? I do not know. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Label</key> <string>com.oldimac.upgradetor</string> <key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>/Library/LaunchDaemons/upgradetor.plist </string> </array> <key>StartInterval</key> <integer>80000</integer> </dict> </plist> code for upgradetor.plist: > brew upgrade tor > On Jul 9, 2018, at 8:45 PM, Keifer Bly <keifer.bly(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > Tried that twice now and it has not worked.

I’ve attached the scripts I created if someone wouldn’t mind helping me take a look tp see if anything is wrong? Thank you.

Thoughts on automatically updating tor software on macos High Sierra
by Keifer Bly 09 Jul '18

09 Jul '18

Hello list, So for a while I have been struggling to find a way to automatically update the tor relay software on macOS High Sierra. What I am currently doing is running a batch file that runs the command “brew upgrade tor” continuously. However, I am attempting to find a way to do this automatically on macos High Sierra where the process doesn’t have to be running every second. Here’s the unfortunate thing, on the newest macos operating systems, it appears there is no possible way to run terminal commands automatically, as crontab has been disabled / removed from newer mac operating systems (I discussed this with Apple technical support) and applications to run scripts automatically are incompatible with newer macos. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated, thank you.

DNS Time Outs
by Paul Templeton 09 Jul '18

09 Jul '18

Hi all, how often does the site https://arthuredelstein.net/exits/ update. 'coffswifi4' was reporting 60% timeouts but I have setup a stand alone DNS for it and would like to know if its resolved the problem. I think this is why it kept on being dropped from the consensus... For nusenu - Yes I have setup DNSSEC :-) Regards, Paul 137CF322859E400455E457DB920F65FFDD222CDF

tor alpha users: if you are still running 0.3.3.5-rc..
by nusenu 07 Jul '18

07 Jul '18

Dear debian/ubuntu tor alpha repo users, there is an oddly high number of relays running 0.3.3.5-rc which was the last version before the 0.3.3.x alpha repo has been discontinued. If you are doing apt upgrades and don't get tor v0.3.3.7 your sources list is likely incorrectly setup (only containing the experimental lines without the tor stable lines), please ensure you copy and paste the sources.list lines from https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en#ubuntu after choosing your settings from the drop down. Note: as already noted on this list, the page is slightly outdated. If you want to help testing 0.3.4.x you should replace '0.3.3.x' with '0.3.4.x' in your sources.list bonus points if you want to share the reason why you had a misconfigured sources.list file (maybe we can improve / avoid that somewhere) -- https://twitter.com/nusenu_ https://mastodon.social/@nusenu
