What kind of hardware do I need for my relay
by Farid Joubbi 28 Mar '17

28 Mar '17

Hello, I have been running low powered middle relays for a few years. Now I think it's time for a small upgrade. I haven't looked at computer hardware for a long time. What is the cheapest and most power efficient CPU/motherboard that can saturate 100 Mbit/s as a Tor relay? Thanks.

aTorRelay@gmail.com relays: please update 'MyFamily' in your torrc

Hi thanks for adding 3 more relays. You are currently the biggest known operator with end-to-end correlation capabilities [1] Please do not forget to set/update the MyFamily parameter in your torrc configuration to tell clients your relays belong to a single operator, otherwise they might use your relays in multiple positions within a circuit, which is rather bad for their anonymity. If you need help with the MyFamily option let us know. thanks, nusenu [1] https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ornetstats/stats/master/o/potentially_dan… https://github.com/nusenu/ansible-relayor The counter in the last column should match the number of rows: +------------+------+-----------------+------------+---------------+ | first_seen | exit | IP | nickname | FamilyMembers | +------------+------+-----------------+------------+---------------+ | 2015-11-15 | 0 | 82.220.89.53 | inky | 8 | | 2016-05-23 | 0 | 212.47.244.38 | Chimborazo | 8 | | 2016-05-24 | 0 | 163.172.157.213 | Cotopaxi | 8 | | 2016-05-24 | 0 | 163.172.139.104 | Pichincha | 8 | | 2016-10-02 | 0 | 212.47.240.189 | Tungurahua | 8 | | 2016-10-02 | 0 | 163.172.133.54 | Cayambe | 8 | | 2016-11-16 | 1 | 92.222.103.232 | Sangay | 8 | | 2016-11-19 | 1 | 185.100.87.186 | Antisana | 8 | | 2017-03-21 | 1 | 91.134.232.58 | Illiniza | NULL | | 2017-03-21 | 1 | 178.32.53.53 | Cuicocha | NULL | | 2017-03-21 | 1 | 92.222.134.129 | Atacazo | NULL | +------------+------+-----------------+------------+---------------+ 11 rows

Hi Weston, thanks for adding an exit relay. Please do not forget to set/update the MyFamily parameter in your torrc configuration to tell clients your relays belong to a single operator, otherwise they might use your relays in multiple positions within a circuit, which is rather bad for their anonymity.

Over 55k eth RX errors
by patacca 19 Mar '17

19 Mar '17

Hi everyone, I am running an exit node[1] with nocix (previously known as datashack) and everything worked pretty well until the beginning of March when they moved the physical location of my dedicated server: since then I am registering a lot of eth0 errors[2] and, as atlas is showing, a lot of downtime. Note also that previously I've run the server for like a year without any single eth error! I've already contacted them asking to check the cables and they replied everything it's ok but I am starting to think that *it must be* some kind of hardware issue. I'd like to debug the issue furthermore to excude any software related problem but I don't know what to do, has anybody got a hint? Thanks, patacca [1] https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/2B72D043164D5036BC1087613830E2ED5C606… [2] http://pastebin.com/7ZYXmTGE

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…
