Suggestion for Tor exit friendly ISP
by Tor-Node.net 25 Apr '16

25 Apr '16

Hi! I have come across a Tor friendly VPS provider in Norway. They allow exits. At the moment they host no other Tor relay than mine. I've tried adding them to the Good/Bad ISP wiki, but get trapped be som anti-spam filter even when not logged in via Tor. Is this list an appropriate way to reccommend them? I'm not affiliated with this company but don't want to spam the list. Their permanent offer is a VPS with dedicated and unmetered 1Gbps connection per VPS, price per month is 149 NOK (~ 18 USD / ~ 16 EUR). My relay is at the moment CPU constrained, pushing about 10 MB/s. Kind regards TorNodeNET

IPv6 bridges (without IPv4 ORPort but IPv4 connectivity)
by erwin rolf 25 Apr '16

25 Apr '16

Hi, I'm running relays on servers which have a single IPv4 address and many IPv6 addresses. I guess this is a common setup in nowadays hosting environments since you get IPv6 addresses for free. I'm wondering whether these additional (currently unused) IPv6 addresses could be usefull to run bridges on them. Even though there are reports that say bridges are blocked on an IP:port basis (not IP only) I would prefere to not use the IPv4 address for the bridge at all since there runs a public relay on it already (something that is blocked already). I would like to run a config with an IPv6 ORPort only. To see whether this is currently supported I read: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/roadmaps/Tor/IPv6 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/IPv6RelayHowto unfortunately the page reads: > Note that you'll have to have an IPv4 OR port configured as well, or your bridge will bootstrap but leave its clients hanging at 50% (see #4847) https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/4847 so my planned setup would not work I guess. A workaround would probably be to bind to IPv4 as well and ignore the fact that the IPv4 bridge wont be useable since it runs on the same IP as the public relay, but I'd rather wait for a fix of #4847. #4847 has the milestone set to unknown "0.2.???" If there are other options, please me know.

Reading check.torproject
by eliaz 23 Apr '16

23 Apr '16

In looking at the check.torproject.org page on the browser/machine that runs my bridge, I'm used to seeing the same IP address a.b.c.d on the check page ("Your IP address appears to be: a.b.c.d") as in the exit on the path drop-down. But today for several hours a.b.c.d showed on the drop-down but a different address w.x.y.z appeared on the page. Opening up atlas gave a "no results" error until I entered a.b.c.d manually; and w.x.y.z was no tor node; it turned out to belong to a VPN provider which was also poking my ports. Is this discrepancy normal? Should be worried about it? - eliaz

Re: [tor-relays] Using your own Relay as Entry Node

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I too would like to know, if using one's own relay as an Entry Node WITHOUT any of the Proxy shenanigans is good practice to maintain one's anonymity.

Entry Node Problem

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I just added my relay fingerprint to my torrc file and my Tor Browser will not load. I must have the syntax wrong.

Potwin, Kansas
by Kenneth Freeman 21 Apr '16

21 Apr '16

So this is why 114 Tor exit nodes are apparently operating from Potwin, Kansas! Figured it was a digital artifact. The article doesn't mention Tor itself, but the nominal fount really jumps out on TorFlow. http://fusion.net/story/287592/internet-mapping-glitch-kansas-farm/ https://torflow.uncharted.software/

I am failing with newbie stuff :((((
by Markus Koch 20 Apr '16

20 Apr '16

hi there, just got 3 new didiservers and would like to move my old tor nodes over to the brand new hardware. I am running the latest Debian version. I copied /etc/tor/* and /var/lib/tor/* to the new servers. I thought this should do the trick that I get the same key etc and Tor will think this is my old node but with a new IP? It doesnt, whats my mistake? Thanks for reading, Markus

Hi, my hoster notified me about nullrouting due to packet floods (?) against two diffferent relays on April 12 and April 17. Has this been happening to other people in the same time frame? Best, Luke
