nyx question on info on top right side, present on CentOS, missing on Debian.
by Stijn Jonker 04 Feb '18

04 Feb '18

Hi All, I initially went to the nyx website to find the right forum to ask questions. I understood this is the one :-), if not apologies. So I'm running two relays, one is running on CentOS7, the other Debian Stretch. On both I have nyx (2.0.4) installed. The "Debian" one is missing the CPU, Exit policy etc info. It's not tor version specific, as I recently upgraded the tor software on the nodes regularly. So on the CentOS node I see this on the top at the right; cpu: 61.3% tor, 5.0% nyx mem: 371 MB (12.4%) pid: 1279 uptime: 02:59:09 fingerprint: 328E54981C6DDD7D89B89E418724A4A7881E3192 exit policy: reject *:* On the Debian node it's simply not printing any of these three lines. I can't find in the (debug) logging whether an utility or library is missing. It's nothing major, but annoying. Especially with the new alpha releases it's nice to keep an eye out on mem/cpu. Does anyone have an idea what the trick is to get it to work on debian? -- CentOS info: [user@tornode ~]$ tor --version Tor version 0.3.3.1-alpha (git-de8bc9eed6eaadfc).

tor cpu / MBit/s benchmarks
by tor7 04 Feb '18

04 Feb '18

Hello! I'd like to collect some samples for how many MBit/s on a single tor daemon are possible on given CPU model before it is limited by the CPU. If your single tor daemon routes more than 350 MBit/s in each direction and you are running on bare metal it would be awesome if you could share your - CPU model (ideally a link to ark.intel.com if it is an intel cpu) - avg. daily CPU usage (ie. from munin graphs) - actual traffic (MBit/s) - optional: relay fingerprint thank you! tor7

Limiting connection count
by Moritz Kammerer 03 Feb '18

03 Feb '18

Hi, I'm running a Tor relay on a Raspberry 2 behind a router using port forward. Relay bandwidth is set to 1 MByte / second. Tor is accepting so many connections that my Raspi can't keep up and my router is getting very slow (I assume because of a crappy NAT implementation). Bandwidth is not an issue, its the open connection count. Is there a way to limit the maximum number of connections? I tried to apply a ulimit on open files via systemd, but Tor is then showing a warning. At the moment I run a iptables rule which restricts the connection count to port 9001 (OR port) to 1000. But I'm not sure how this will affect the relay, for example Tor Metrics is showing the relay as offline. BR, Moritz

Relays operators meetup @ FOSDEM 2018 ?
by Nicolas Braud-Santoni 03 Feb '18

03 Feb '18

Hi, I might be able to organise a relays operators meetup at FOSDEM, early February. (This is contingent on me being able to come, though.) I wanted to ask whether there are other relay operators who are planning to go, and which times would work; I made a quick poll to this effect : https://framadate.org/HpPbnRwOYNmK6D5G Feel free to add yourself without filling your availability yet, if you will be around but haven't looked at the schedule yet. I know we had the yearly meetup at 34C3 quite recently, but after discussions there it seemed like a good idea to reach out to relays operators who don't necessarily attend congress, to people who don't yet run relays but have questions, and do so in a different context than congress. Best, nicoo

75 Exit Relays (48 currently running) - AS 197226 SPRINT SA (PL) - No Contact/MyFamily
by nusenu 01 Feb '18

01 Feb '18

Dear anonymous relay operator, thank you for adding so many exit relays this month in AS 197226 SPRINT SA (PL) (netblocks 185.234.218.x and 77.87.79.x) we would really like to keep these relays on the network, but they do not have any contact information and MyFamily configuration set - which is required for such big relay groups. If you are the relay operator, please set a working contactInfo and proper MyFamily configuration and drop an email to bad-relays(a)lists.torproject.org. If they do not hear from you, tor directory authorities might decide remove these relays. It would be a shame to loose so much bandwidth. thanks for your understanding, nusenu

High number of simultaneous connections from a single host
by zless 01 Feb '18

01 Feb '18

Hello everyone, I was inspecting my node and just saw that it has a very high number of connections. It jumped from the normal 6000-7000 to more than 17000 simultaneous connections. Looking at the connections with `ss` I see some hosts with over 1000 connections while the majority is usually bellow 10. Here are some stats with the IP and the associated number of simultaneous connections: 212.32.226.237 : 1531 207.244.110.200 : 1520 162.210.192.70 : 1471 207.244.70.120 : 1455 198.7.59.194 : 1454 212.32.239.28 : 1450 5.79.103.239 : 1414 5.79.103.238 : 1401 51.15.162.120 : 1379 37.48.104.231 : 56 5.79.72.66 : 26 37.48.105.240 : 25 212.83.3.154 : 25 78.46.99.242 : 23 178.63.47.145 : 18 46.4.84.142 : 17 213.133.100.55 : 17 46.4.106.87 : 15 144.76.18.214 : 14 Is it normal for a single host to produce so many connections? How do you people handle such situations? Thanks
