Guard before Stable flag?
by John Ricketts 03 Nov '16

03 Nov '16

Hello Everyone, When looking at my list on Atlas (21 entries) I'm seeing that some of my relays are getting the Guard flag before they become stable. https://atlas.torproject.org/#search/quintex I'm going to make the assumption this is normal behavior but I still find it odd. I also find it odd that I haven't received the stable flag all of the relays given their uptime. Thoughts, anyone? Thank you! John L. Ricketts, PhD Quintex Alliance Consulting john(a)quintex.com<mailto:john@quintex.com> @aquintex on Twitter

Tor bandwith question
by anemoi＠tutanota.de 03 Nov '16

03 Nov '16

In order to clarify this once and for all: If I setup a Tor relay with 200 kBps, do I slow down the Tor network? What amount of bandwith is needed in order to not slow down the network?

most (>57% cwfr) of the tor network still vulnerable to CVE-2016-8860 - update your relay!
by nusenu 02 Nov '16

02 Nov '16

just a reminder since most of the tor network (including some of the biggest operators) still runs vulnerable relays https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tor-0289-released-important-fixes Since 2/3 directory authorities removed most vulnerable versions from their 'recommended versions' you should see a log entry if you run outdated versions (except if you run 0.2.5.12). It is not possible to reliable determine the exact CW fraction affected[1] due to the fact that patches were released that didn't increase tor's version number. Therefore it is also possible that you get log entries even if you run a patched version (IMHO this hasn't been handled in the most professional way). Update instructions Debian/Ubuntu ============== make sure you use the Torproject repository: https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en (you can also use the debian repository but the Torproject's repo will provide you with the latest releases) aptitude update && aptitude install tor CentOS/RHEL/Fedora =================== yum install --enablerepo=epel-testing tor FreeBSD ============ pkg update pkg upgrade OpenBSD =========== pkg_add -u tor Windows ======== No updated binaries available for this platform yet. [1] as of 2016-10-25 18:00 (onionoo data) conservative estimate ---------------------- (counts only 0.2.8.9 and 0.2.9.4-alpha as patched) 31% CW fraction patched optimistic estimate ------------------- (additionally assumes every non-Windows running 0.2.4.27, 0.2.5.12, 0.2.6.10, 0.2.7.6 that restarted since 2016-10-17 is patched): 43% CW fraction patched

assign_to_cpuworker failed. Ignoring.
by Felix 01 Nov '16

Hi everybody May be someone can help with this warning: The security update (Tor v0.2.8.9 running on FreeBSD with Libevent 2.0.22-stable, OpenSSL LibreSSL 2.4.3 and Zlib 1.2.8.) shows the following log entry each hour: Oct 19 02:51:07.000 [warn] Your system clock just jumped 136 seconds forward; assuming established circuits no longer work. Oct 19 02:51:07.000 [warn] assign_to_cpuworker failed. Ignoring. ... Oct 19 02:51:07.000 [warn] assign_to_cpuworker failed. Ignoring.

The warning first appeared on 2.8.7 after update on September 13th (Tor v0.2.8.7 running on FreeBSD with Libevent 2.0.22-stable, OpenSSL LibreSSL 2.4.2 and Zlib 1.2.8.). That time I switched back (Tor v0.2.7.6 running on FreeBSD with Libevent 2.0.22-stable, OpenSSL LibreSSL 2.4.2 and Zlib 1.2.8.) and the warning disappeared. What can I do? The warning is reproted in tor-talk: https:// lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-talk/2016-October/042425.html -- Best regards, Felix

Blocking Domains
by Tristan 01 Nov '16

Is it possible to block domain names in Tor's ExitPolicy? I've been getting abuses on *.panelboxmanager.com, and I'd like to be proactive about this if possible.

OpenWrt
by Nima Fatemi 31 Oct '16

31 Oct '16

Hi relay operators, I'm curious to see if there are any openwrt users here and if by any chance any of you is running a relay or a bridge on it. Here's why: The current Tor package on openwrt is left without an active maintainer. I just send a patch to update it to 0.2.8.9 and I'm wondering whether it's worth to put the time and maintain the package. Best, -- Nima 0X58C4B928A3E218F6 | @mrphs "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" --Evelyn Beatrice Hall
