OVH has this in AU 5.9 For security reasons, OVH reserves the right to proceed with the immediate suspension without notice, of any Server on which there is a public service Proxy, IRC, VPN or TOR which is available free of charge or for a fee, and for which OVH has knowledge of its fraudulent or illegal misuse. > with Tor's overall architecture, does it really make sense to > route e.g. EU clients exiting to EU destinations, True - Wanted to add to the diversity in location and OS. Will look at other jurisdictions for better service... Still looking but so far all have data caps. I really want a decent exit node here in AU but getting perplexed. I'll sleep on it... Paul

Thanx niftybunny, It's more political than anything. With the constant changes in policy driving censorship I feel that having a strong presence is important. At the moment there are 50 nodes in Australia with the fastest running at 357Kbs and only two exit nodes - fastest is 100Kbs. Its a reflection on the state of politics and the level of service that is provided by ISP's. Yes I could run more nodes in VMs around the world but at this stage I would like to investigate a strong presence here in AU.

Bandwidth Question
by Torix 23 Aug '17

23 Aug '17

Dear List, I run a middle node at home. I jacked up my bandwidth from 300/500 KB to 500/700 KB a fortnight ago, and my usage has more than doubled. I run it on Verizon FIOS at home; I'm looking at about 650-750 G/month estimate now from vnstat. I read that Verizon starts to take notice if I get to a TB/month, so I am asking for advice on easing this back if necessary. I can limit the daily bandwidth - or can I just ease down the bandwidth? Clearly each time I increased the bandwidth I got more connexions; would they drop off if I went back to my old bandwidth? I'm a little unclear how long it would take other relays to attach to other middle relays once they have found mine. The more general question behind this is: is it better to have a higher bandwidth for a limited time each day or a lower bandwidth up all day?

Does fallback directory traffic go over the ORPort?
by tor 23 Aug '17

23 Aug '17

In another thread, Roger said: > Note that most clients use the ORPort for fetching directory stuff, and > that's heading towards "all clients" as people upgrade and stop using weird > configurations. I'm curious about the 100+ fallback directory mirrors. Does fallback directory traffic go over the ORPort too? Is it safe to disable the DirPort on fallback relays?

Another odd thin is atlas will say its down for say three hours but there are up to 1900 connections thumping away from other relays. The node has been running longer but I restarted thinking something was wrong. LOL But like I said its not a problem - I'm wait to see if the VM provider has an issue and at 5 euros per month I'll run others in other country's for that money.

Found a provider that doesn"t seem to have a cap on data and it will cost me about five euros a month. Question I have is two fold. First I find that atlas.torproject.org sometime says the node is down but its running and connected. Secondly how dose the bandwidth throttling work. I have set it to 300kbits with 500kbit burst but I can see the in/out traffic staying over 1mb for large periods of time and bursting to 7/8mb. Its not a problem just curios.

significant rise in fail2ban alerts for ssh abuse
by Dirk 21 Aug '17

21 Aug '17

Dear all, we receive a significant rise of ssh login abuse mails which reach us and unfortunately our providers. By significant I mean an amount that starts flooding our abuse inbox. All abuse emails are structured the same way and point to Fail2Ban as originator. Do we have just bad luck and someone uses our severs to brute force all of SSH out there OR is there a new Fail2Ban or Linux distribution release which fosters or enables this fail2ban abuse mails be default ? As far as I know the functionality of Fail2Ban is old. If there would be a Linux distribution which enables this I would like to talk to the maintainer and let him know that he at least tries to read the correct abuse entry from ripe instead of bothering our provider as well. For a limited time we will now reject port 22. But really do not like this solution. I would rather like to find out the source of this rise in numbers. best regards Dirk Example 1 ---- Dear Sir/Madam, We have detected abuse from the IP address 1.1.1.x, which according to a whois lookup is on your network.

End of Life Relays

Hello relay operator, Please note that recently (2017-08-01) a few tor releases reached end of life and are no longer maintained (no security and bugfixes) [1]. Please consider upgrading to a supported release if you are affected. To find out whether you are running an end of life tor release you can search for your relay nickname on [2] or on https://atlas.torproject.org. As of 2017-08-19 still >9% of the tor network run on end of life releases. thanks for running tor relays, nusenu [1] https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkTeam/CoreTor… [2] https://nusenu.github.io/OrNetStats/eolrelays -- https://mastodon.social/@nusenu https://twitter.com/nusenu_
