Relay not listed in atlas
by Fabian A. Santiago 09 Jan '18

09 Jan '18

One of my relays is no longer listed in atlas. I'm curious why and how can I go about examining the issue? It had been running for several weeks at this point seemingly fine. My other relay lists it as an alleged family member but it's id is listed in a different color (yellow). Is this part of the ddos issue I've seen spoken of here? The server is accessible and Tor is running. System stats look fine. Any ideas? Thanks. -- Thanks, Fabian S. OpenPGP: 3C3FA072ACCB7AC5DB0F723455502B0EEB9070FC

Updated Fallback Directory Mirrors
by teor 09 Jan '18

09 Jan '18

Dear Relay Operators, Thanks to everyone who opted-in their relays as fallback directory mirrors. We rebuilt the list of fallbacks on the weekend. [0] The new list will come out in Tor 0.3.2.9. It will be backported to all supported Tor releases. [1] The FallbackDir flags on Consensus Health [2] have been updated. The flags on Relay Search (Atlas) [3] might take a few days to update. Don't worry if your relay missed out this time. It's still helping Tor users. And we will rebuild the fallback list again in 6-12 months time. You can keep replying to this thread to opt-in your relays. If you have multiple relays, you can opt-in as many as you like. (We picked up to 7 per operator this time, and we may pick more next time.) We are tracking fallback changes in this ticket [4]. T [0]: https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/tree/src/or/fallback_dirs.inc https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/24801 [1]: 0.2.9, 0.3.0, and 0.3.1. (0.2.5 doesn't have the fallback feature). See https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkTeam/CoreTor… [2]: https://consensus-health.torproject.org/graphs.html [3]: For example, this relay is a new fallback: https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/001524DD403D729F08F7E5D77813EF12756CF… [4]: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/24805 -- Tim / teor PGP C855 6CED 5D90 A0C5 29F6 4D43 450C BA7F 968F 094B ricochet:ekmygaiu4rzgsk6n ------------------------------------------------------------------------

*BSD bridge operators
by George 08 Jan '18

08 Jan '18

For anyone running *BSD bridges that wasn't aware, there are obfs4proxy packages/ports available for each of the BSDs: FreeBSD as security/obfs4proxy-tor NetBSD as net/obfs4proxy OpenBSD as net/obfs4proxy DragonFlyBSD as security/obfs4proxy-tor For assisting aggressively censored users, bridges really should consider configuring obf4sproxy. g -- 34A6 0A1F F8EF B465 866F F0C5 5D92 1FD1 ECF6 1682

If considering as yet non tor daemon, non measured, non consensus voted things like operators and OS, then you should extend research into similar meta parameters about the relays themselves such as datacenter hosted vs cable/dsl/fiber "home" relays, country locations, opposing legal jurisdictions, operation by "known" or "trusted" operators / entities or not, by working / fake / no contact info, by any PKI Web Of Trust asserted among operators, funding sources, employer / corporate / political / other affiliations, statistical analysis of historical relay "presence" on the network (add/drop/uptime, nicknames, movement, versions, bulk turnups, correlation groups, etc), and many more possible metas that people should think up and add to this list. That research then followed by development of third party subscription lists of categorized / ranked relays the user or tor daemon may further pluggably select from when choosing nodes to path through. There have been posts on tor-relays@ and tor-talk@ that mention more about these sorts of meta parameters. AFAIK, no one has done any research into them or their potential impact / benefits, whether to particularly affected, or for plain preferential choice users, or to the network as a whole. So the chance of a first good paper in the area awaits whoever does that meta analysis project. [xpost for open project oppurtunity]

Fallback Directory Mirror changed

Hi there, took a while longer than expected, but my relay has now moved to a new IP address, it's running on 37.157.255.35 now, so it could be re-added to the list.

collecting info on Wikipedia blocking non-exits
by Alison Macrina 05 Jan '18

05 Jan '18

Hi friends, I'd like to collect some anecdata about this issue regarding Wikipedia blocking edits from Tor non-exit relays: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/24758 If you run a non-exit relay, would you be so kind as to go to wikipedia.org from that IP, click "edit" on any page, and report to me off-list if your relay is blocked or not? In your message, please give me your relay address and let me know if it's ever functioned as an exit before. Thank you! Alison -- Alison Macrina Community Team Lead The Tor Project

Marker branch for current tor release(s)
by Andreas Krey 05 Jan '18

05 Jan '18

Hi everybody, https://www.torproject.org/download/download.html.en in the source code 'tab' states the current stable and alpha version of tor. Would it be possible to publish the current states as branches 'stable' and 'alpha' (or 'testing', or 'unstable') in the git repo? That would help us tor-from-source builders to just fetch the repo, and if the respective branch changes, to rebuild and redeploy. Looking for a new release tag or screen-scraping said web page is a bit hairy, and feels unnecessary. - Andreas -- "Totally trivial. Famous last words."

Setting myfamily
by Fabian A. Santiago 05 Jan '18

05 Jan '18

When setting myfamily on a particular relay, do you list itself plus others or only others? I ask because it's my understanding that you set itself + others but on atlas, for one relay I see in its family listing, it shows itself plus the 2nd one. And therefore it receives a (3) after it's nickname in the atlas listing. On the other relay it only lists the other in family listing. And it has a (2) in it's atlas listing next to nickname. They're both set the same as in they each list themselves + the other. Thanks. -- Thanks, Fabian S. OpenPGP: 3C3FA072ACCB7AC5DB0F723455502B0EEB9070FC
