MaxMemInQueues - per host, or per instance?
by Igor Mitrofanov 23 Dec '17

23 Dec '17

Hi, Is MaxMemInQueues parameter per-host (global) or per-instance? Say, there are 10 relays on the same 24 GB host. Should I set MaxMemInQueues to 20 GB, or 2 GB in each torrc? Thanks, Igor

New Relay Online/Working on AWS Cloud Torproject
by Conrad Rockenhaus 23 Dec '17

23 Dec '17

Howdy, Early this morning (3 AM CST) I brought a non-exit relay named “ConradsAWSRelay” online. I would appreciate it if someone would take an objective look at it to see if the relay is fast enough and bringing useful services to the tor network. Additionally, I know that people have been working on ansible solutions regarding the installation of tor and what not, but that being said, I’m working on an AWS specific solution to replace the previous Cloud torproject that we had years ago. I will keep everyone in the loop, but I think its time that we have a cloud specific solution for rolling out tor. Thanks, Conrad Rockenhaus

warning messages
by Arisbe 22 Dec '17

22 Dec '17

Hello All, In recent weeks I have noticed some warning messages on several of my VPS relays [1], [2]. "20:48:48.000 [warn] Tried to establish rendezvous on non-ORcircuit with purpose Acting as rendevous (pending)" I get these in modest numbers as (97 hidden). Is this a characteristic of the guard relay abuse issue? Thanks for some advice. [1] 9B31F1F1C1554F9FFB3455911F82E818EF7C7883 [2] B06F093A3D4DFAD3E923F4F28A74901BD4F74EB1

first impression with 0.3.2.8-rcant a fast exit relay
by Toralf Förster 22 Dec '17

22 Dec '17

With 0.3.2.7-rc the command /usr/sbin/iftop -B -i eth0 -P -N -n -m 320M showed every then and when (few times in a hour) for 10-20 sec a traffic value of nearly 0 bytes for the short-term period (the left of the 3 values). Usuaally I do poberve between 6 and 26 MByte/sec. With the Tor version from today now the outage is about 1-2 sec, but does still occur. Not sure, if this is an expected behaviour or a local problem. -- Toralf PGP C4EACDDE 0076E94E

IPv6 Issue with Relay
by Conrad Rockenhaus 22 Dec '17

22 Dec '17

Hello, One of the relays that I brought online yesterday, ConradsAWSExit (Hash 1B47E33F9D422CC97BD2DDA1F082BFF2FC58E79A) is showing up on Atlas that the IPv6 OR is unreachable. The other relay is working just fine with IPv6. I’ve confirmed that the following entries are in torrc: ORPort 9001 ORPort [2600:1f14:ede:d601:e107:1a4b:ba3:803]:9001 IPv6Exit 1 Just to confirm, here’s the output from ifconfig, that is the IP: inet6 2600:1f14:ede:d601:e107:1a4b:ba3:803 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x0<global> I have confirmed that all of the applicable Security Group rules are configured correctly: Custom TCP Rule TCP 9001 0.0.0.0/0 ORPort Custom TCP Rule TCP 9001 ::/0 ORPort Custom TCP Rule TCP 9030 0.0.0.0/0 DIRPort Custom TCP Rule TCP 9030 ::/0 DIRPort Plus, I have confirmed with a telnet -6 to port 9001 from both my house and my servers at OVH in Canada that I’m able to connect to port 9001 via the IPv6 address on this node. So, my question is…what could I be missing here that is causing atlas to say that IPv6 is unreachable? I’ve been looking into this through the day and would like to kind of close it out, got a bunch of emails to catch up on hehe :D, so any input would be appreciated. Thanks, Conrad

Ongoing DDoS on the Network - Status
by David Goulet 21 Dec '17

21 Dec '17

Hi everyone! I'm David and I'm part of the core development team in Tor. A few minutes ago I just sent this to the tor-project@ mailing list about the DDoS the network is currently under: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-project/2017-December/001604.html There is not much more to say about this right now but I wanted to thanks everyone here for running a relay, this situation is not pleasant for anyone especially for relay operators for which you need to deal with this attack (and extra bonus point during the holidays for some...). Second, everyone who provided information, took the time to dig in this problem and sent their findings on this list was a HUGE help to us so again, thank you very much for this. We will update everyone as soon as possible on the status of the tor releases that hopefully will contain fixes that should help mitigate this DDoS. Cheers! David -- aFJe0kbRB1zZXgwFQIvBG0Skn3xAsDGxVQsAiguKjY8=

restarting tor service after AccountingMax has been reached
by Fabian A. Santiago 21 Dec '17

21 Dec '17

I'm noticing that if i attempt to restart tor AFTER AccountingMax has been reached (meaning it's currently hibernating), tor itself fails to start. if i increase AccountingMax in torrc, then it restarts just fine. normal? -- Thanks, Fabian S. OpenPGP: 3C3FA072ACCB7AC5DB0F723455502B0EEB9070FC

Guard node suddenly sending twice what it receives
by Logforme 20 Dec '17

20 Dec '17

My little guard node (855BC2DABE24C861CD887DB9B2E950424B49FC34) have suddenly started to behave strangely. iftop (my "bandwidth monitor"), shows twice as much sent traffic as received traffic. The traffic seems to be distributed to a lot of ip addresses. No ip address stands out as receiving very much traffic: https://imgur.com/a/dAUzc Given the last few days of DDoS attacks (my node is still targeted by those) I naturally assume this is another attack. First it is lots of connections (mitigated with connection limits) Then it is massive amounts of memory per circuit (MaxMemInQueues fixes that) And now this. Could this be a third attack vector or am I seeing something "normal" (though I often check my bandwidth and I've never seen this before). My node recently got the HSDir flag after the last crash. Could the network be starved for HSDir machines and this is what I'm seeing? Being a linux noob I don't know how to figure out exactly what kind of traffic this is. Suggestions gratefully accepted.
