Like David said, they just had the wrong IP, and it happened to be yours. In a world where computers outnumber people, even a single incorrect digit can have unintended side effects.

Why do 40% of Tor exits uses 8.8.8.8 for DNS resolving ?
by Toralf Förster 18 Oct '16

18 Oct '16

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Reading [1] I do wonder about that. Why do Tor exit relay operators avoid installing a local resolver - or at least simple a cache as shown in [2] ? Adding different nameserver= lines to /etc/resolv.conf than 8.8.8.8 shouldn't be a big thing, or ?

Re: [tor-relays] Smallest, cheapest, lightest computer for tor relay
by Neel Chauhan 18 Oct '16

>Yes it does make a real big difference. Get the Pi 3, the 1st Pi is an order of magnitude slower. If you don't want to spend your money on a RPI 3, you can also look at a used RPI 2. If you are willing to have a computer that is a bit larger, you can also use a smaller desktop PC, like a Mac Mini, or a SFF Dell or HP. I have a Raspberry Pi 2, but use a homebuilt Pentium 4 desktop on a 60/25 cable connection (Optimum Online), and a Dell Optiplex 755 (Core 2 Duo) on a 50/50 FTTH connection (Verizon FiOS). I don't use the RPI because I want my Tor nodes to use FreeBSD instead of Linux, and am not sure if RPI has the best FreeBSD support (I'm even a FreeBSD contributor, but my laptop which I typed this from unfortunately runs Arch). The disadvantage of the PC approach is space and higher power consumption, but the advantage is that you can use *BSD and Windows, and can possibly take advantage of faster speeds. But if you are fine with Linux, and, the RPI 2/3 is a good choice. There are also other SBC computers like the BeagleBone. SBC computers are great if they have ADSL/Cable, but if they have fiber to the home (Verizon FiOS, Google Fiber, etc.), a used desktop (or a higher end SBC) may be better (in my opinion) as they usually have a faster upstream and a desktop may take better advantage of the speed. My atlas entries are below (for the two nodes from my two homes, not my exits): https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/AED76373324653A0522DF30550BA31902B2CF… https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/D5B8C38539C509380767D4DE20DE84CF84EE8… Thanks, Neel Chauhan === https://www.neelc.org/

I think I my relay is broken
by Tamara West 17 Oct '16

SocksPort 0 RunAsDaemon 1 ORPort 443 Nickname saverig ContactInfo sinister(dot)hama(at)googlemail(dot)com [tor-relay.co] DirPort 80 ExitPolicy reject *:* DisableDebuggerAttachment 0 ControlPort 9051 CookieAuthentication 1 There is no IP listed unless I located the incorrect file. /etc/tor/torrc 207.172.253.216 is my public address I do have the port forwarded. The whole point was so that anyone who couldn't reach tor normally and had to use 443, 80 could do so with my setup. I've noticed some weirdness with RCN though. Some IPs block and allow access differently and as far as I can tell no one seems to know why. I already had an issue with my streaming box not seeing my server. Also I know I've had a site hosted on my computer before. Without really knowing why getting a new IP resolved the issue.

Smallest, cheapest, lightest computer for tor relay
by Tamara West 16 Oct '16

16 Oct '16

I've got a few family members across the country who have broadband they are not using for more than email and social. I wanted to go about setting up a relay at each house can can be run with minimum amount of power and attention. I was considering something like RaspPi or Compute Stick. Main questions (1) anyone else use these or something similar? (2) recommend of strong alternatives suggested? (3) is there something smaller, lighter and cheaper that will do the job? (*) did I maybe miss something obvious that needs attention? Thank you.

postfix

Do people have an an opinion on running postfix on an exit node? I was thinking if I set up a .forward, I might be able to intercept a few abuse complaints before my provider sees them. Thoughts? Cheers, K.
