Strange behaviour Tor 0.2.9.10
by Geoff Down 19 Mar '17

19 Mar '17

Hello list, my bridge/client has been behaving strangely the last few days. It took 36 hours to notice that my IP address had changed, and seems to be going into some sort of sleep state - automated curl fetches start failing, and keep failing until I manually curl to a well-known site, at which point everything else starts working. Anyone else having problems with 0.2.9.10? I've only been using it for a week. GD -- http://www.fastmail.com - Email service worth paying for. Try it for free

Relay installation instructions
by Jeff Duncan 19 Mar '17

19 Mar '17

Hi I went to install a new relay today and found the guide on torproject.org had changed. I used to follow this page: https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-relay-debian.html.en and where it says : If you're on Ubuntu or if you want to track newer Tor packages, follow the Tor on Ubuntu or Debian instructions to use our repository. The link works but this link used to have instructions for installing from the tor project repositories and installing the gpg key. I do not see those instructions now. The debian instructions in section 1 installs tor 0.2.5.12-4 I logged into another relay and found the commands and repositories via the history command and I was able to install tor successfully. Is this an oversight? Did I just miss something? jmd

CentOS Tor exit node broken after updating to 2.8.12
by Chris 16 Mar '17

16 Mar '17

Hello, I recently upgraded my tor version to 2.8.12 from 2.8.9(?) I think. Tor can now no longer bind to ports, as a regular user: /[warn] Could not bind to 0.0.0.0:43: Permission denied/ As root: /Feb 25 11:57:14.942 [notice] Opening OR listener on 0.0.0.0:43// //Feb 25 11:57:14.942 [notice] Opening Directory listener on 0.0.0.0:9030// //Feb 25 11:57:14.942 [notice] Closing partially-constructed Socks listener on 127.0.0.1:9050// //Feb 25 11:57:14.942 [notice] Closing partially-constructed Control listener on 127.0.0.1:9051// //Feb 25 11:57:14.942 [notice] Closing partially-constructed OR listener on 0.0.0.0:43// //Feb 25 11:57:14.942 [notice] Closing partially-constructed Directory listener on 0.0.0.0:9030// //Feb 25 11:57:14.942 [warn] Failed to parse/validate config: Failed to bind one of the listener ports.// / In the former case, I tried using eip to allow tor to bind to ports lower than 1024 but it made no difference. I suspect this an issue with the configuration of the server rather than tor. Where should I start? Best, Chris -- Protect your privacy: encrypt your communications GPG: CF7F98B2

Aggressive abuse report
by Florentin Rochet 16 Mar '17

16 Mar '17

Hi list, I am running Kadoc[0] for a few weeks and got today a more aggressive complain from a System Administrator of my VPS provider. I seek for an appropriate response to not get banned. Does someone experienced a similar scenario and succeeded to educate the sys admins ? Here's the complain: /"It is running a Tor Exit, hence producing a false positive." is not a valid reason.// //You are the one responsible for the traffic generated on/trough your server, so you should make sure that no similar traffic will appear in future. Illegal actions are strictly prohibited in our network/servers.// //Please take immediate actions to stop this kind of activity./ I am almost sure that trying to argument that I am not responsible for the traffic generated through my Exit is not the right angle with such guy. Any ideas ? Best, Florentin Rochet [0] https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/171696AFDB589CA2C4978EED2C6A91153D2B9…

Public ntop service
by David Goulet 13 Mar '17

13 Mar '17

Hello Relay Ops! Few days ago, the bad relay team found some public ntop service running on these relays on port 3000 for which they have no or an invalid contact info. If you are one of the operator, please close or lock it down else as a safety measure we'll have to reject those relays from the network. https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/D9B536F18046990722D365BFECABBC638B41B… https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/25990FC54D7268C914170A118EE4EE7502545… https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/DB866328A5D55EBD34B5BC293FFFDD43AD81C… https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/8FD69D4C0E5CFDCD6831DD6E2141A182FC7DE… The two have contacted directly with the contact info: https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/64EB3CBCCEB760B9F647FA1B9A4053339830B… https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/BC497E213E43B51F7A893A563EEF17A99271A… And thank you for running a relay!

0.2.9.10 dir port warning
by Logforme 13 Mar '17

13 Mar '17

Just upgraded my relay 855BC2DABE24C861CD887DB9B2E950424B49FC34 to 0.2.9.10 and now I get a new warning in the log file: Mar 13 12:02:22.000 [notice] Bootstrapped 100%: Done Mar 13 12:03:20.000 [warn] Cannot make an outgoing connection without a DirPort. Mar 13 12:03:21.000 [notice] Self-testing indicates your DirPort is reachable from the outside. Excellent. Publishing server descriptor. Everything is working fine, just curious about the warning. Is it an actual problem with my setup or a quirk of 0.2.9.10?

Is there anything in the CIA documents that Wikileaks posted relating to hacking Tor? What about email providers like riseup.net?
