Tor Relay Automatic PMTU Testing
by pasture_clubbed242＠simplelogin.com 22 Feb '24

22 Feb '24

Greetings, I believe there is a larger sized guard relay that has been having MTU issues for about a week. All connections with packets above a certain size are dropped. This results in partially loaded or broken webpages, broken file downloads, etc. Do Tor directory authorities test MTU (implicitly by speed test?) when testing relays? Wondering if anyone else noticed this or if it would be handled automatically by dir authorities. Thanks all

VPS w/FDE suggestions?
by MRob 22 Feb '24

22 Feb '24

Hello- Im looking for <= $6/mo VPS suggestions for general non-tor server and also for tor. Some super-cheap hosts pre-install O/S and give root but I want to install O/S myself so can put in FDE. Hard to see which hosts can do this. I tried Linode before and yes, could get FDE ($5 1GB, 1CPU, 25GB, 1TB) Is IONOS any good? Can I get FDE there?? ($2 1GB, 1CPU, 10GB, ?TB) ($3 2GB, 2CPU, 80GB, ?TB) ($6 4GB, 2CPU, 160GB, ?TB) Others caught my eye: hudsonvalleyhost ($3.95 1GB, 1CPU, 25GB, 20TB) ($6.95 2GB, 2CPU, 50GB, 20TB) liquidweb ($5 1GB, 1CPU, 30GB, 1TB) digitalocean ($6 1GB, 1CPU, 25GB, 20TB) ovhcloud ($4.20 2GB, 1CPU, 20GB, 100Mbps unmetered) ($5.50 2GB, 2CPU, 40GB, 500Mbps unmetered) brownrice ($5.95 3GB, 1CPU, 10GB, unlimited)

Hi, So my relay at https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/79E3B585803DE805CCBC00C1EF36… is again saying it's new despite that it's been running for a few years now. Second time this has happened. Thanks. --Keifer

7000 concurrent connections
by snowmanonahoe＠skiff.com 20 Feb '24

20 Feb '24

Hello all, I'm interested in running a relay. I should meet all the requirements for a guard/middle, except handling 7000 concurrent connections, which I'm unsure of. The website seems to tell me to try it and see what happens, but what exactly am I watching out for? Is the router going to fail entirely, slow down, or something else? Thanks in advance.

webtunnel bridge docker image still uses 0.4.7.13
by Carlo P. 20 Feb '24

Hi, with Tor version 0.4.7.x being EOL, the docker image for the webtunnel bridge deserves an update, as it still uses 0.4.7.13 ! Regards, C. -- Sent with https://mailfence.com Secure and private email

Getting spammed with 404 "Consensus is too old" warnings
by snowmanonahoe＠skiff.com 17 Feb '24

17 Feb '24

Hello all, Obfs4 bridge. Here is the exact warning text: Received http status code 404 ("Consensus is too old") from server 203.0.113.45:443 while fetching consensus directory. They appear in irregular intervals between 2 and 45 minutes. The heartbeat messages indicate the relay is working fine. The IP address is the same every time, and it's not mine. Anything to worry about?

Hi, So my relay at https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/79E3B585803DE805CCBC00C1EF36… went offline for a few days, and I was unaware. Is there a way to be notified when a relay goes offline? Thanks. --Keifer
