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.

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

17 Oct '16

Earlier today I installed my relay and thought everything was good. Now looking at the arm I no longer think so. (1) Events (TOR/ARM NOTICE - ERR): x 23:07:41 [ARM_NOTICE] Unable to prepopulate bandwidth information (insuffic- x ient uptime) x 23:07:41 [ARM_WARN] The torrc differs from what tor's using. You can issue a x sighup to reload the torrc values by pressing x. qj - torrc value differs on line: 3 (2) Events (TOR/ARM NOTICE - ERR): x 23:13:17 [WARN] Your server (207.172.253.216:80) has not managed to confirm x that its DirPort is reachable.

Please check your firewalls, x ports, address, /etc/hosts file, etc. qj 23:07:41 [ARM_NOTICE] Unable to prepopulate bandwidth information (insuffic- If I hit x twice to reload the values it only seems to refresh for the moment but when I restart it's back to the errors. Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated.

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.

RPi Relay Maximum Speed
by Manny 13 Oct '16

13 Oct '16

Hello everyone I tried the Internet of things to get an answer, but either I'm too stupid to find it or it isnt there (haha, good joke) Sorry if this was asked a 100 times before... I have a 1gbit symmetric connection at home and would like to donate 100mbit with my raspberry pi 3 model b. Since it has a 100mbit Network Interface, I'm limited to that anyways. What Settings do I Need in my torcc to get the Maximum Speed? At the Moment I entered 12 Mbytes - which Shows up at 96 mb/s in Arm - is that correct and my understanding of things is just the opposite? Max Speed, I think, should be 12.7mb/s for a 100mbit Connection? Sorry for bothering and thanks for the pointers. Oh and since I'm bugging you anyways - would it be useful to add ORPort [IPv6] as well? (same port as for 4 i guess?)

new tor exit relays - callipr.. (was: [OrNetRadar] Contact: "Rishab Nithyanand <mass dot tor dot" (8))

Hi Rishab, thanks for adding new exit relays to the network. If you put them in a proper MyFamily setting you can see how well they perform compared to other relay groups: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ornetstats/stats/master/o/main_exit_opera… ornetradar(a)riseup.net: > 2016-10-07 > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Up|Ext|JoinTime| IP | AS | CC | ORp | Dirp | OS | Version | Nickname | eFamlen > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > 1 | 1 | 14:06:45 | 46.166.148.145 | NFOrce Entertai | nl | 8083 | 9033 | Linux | 0.2.7.6 | calliprsmallclean04 | 1 > 1 | 1 | 14:07:03 | 46.166.148.143 | NFOrce Entertai | nl | 8081 | 0 | Linux | 0.2.7.6 | calliprbigclean02 | 1 > 1 | 1 | 14:06:58 | 46.166.148.142 | NFOrce Entertai | nl | 8080 | 0 | Linux | 0.2.7.6 | calliprbignasty01 | 1 > 1 | 1 | 20:04:48 | 46.166.148.155 | NFOrce Entertai | nl | 8083 | 9033 | Linux | 0.2.7.6 | calliprsmallclean08 | 1 > 1 | 1 | 20:04:43 | 46.166.148.154 | NFOrce Entertai | nl | 8082 | 9032 | Linux | 0.2.7.6 | calliprsmallnasty07 | 1 > 1 | 1 | 20:04:27 | 46.166.148.152 | NFOrce Entertai | nl | 8080 | 0 | Linux | 0.2.7.6 | calliprbignasty05 | 1 > 1 | 1 | 14:07:09 | 46.166.148.144 | NFOrce Entertai | nl | 8082 | 9032 | Linux | 0.2.7.6 | calliprsmallnasty03 | 1 > 1 | 1 | 20:04:35 | 46.166.148.153 | NFOrce Entertai | nl | 8081 | 0 | Linux | 0.2.7.6 | calliprbigclean06 | 1 > Fingerprints: > 1C486B378AF54474F35CA3B1A00203BD659BDDB1,766AF475D17EEF41C056A6E3E555BD3B023641A6,C065FE07B0D3035B534E05243B9773E3ED1CCBD4,E591E57FDCDBE475017A0938D8603C1783FB48BD,A9699FFAC625DB75118745E6D169A819047006F4,2EF563C70D1B407FB70DDEDA74FF9658D0B31503,339238AD6B44F949CD6F1C59E2CD4249585B4A77,C62A865581FA1319D62C5B14434952A3D37BB57B >

monitoring the relay : zabbix?
by krishna e bera 13 Oct '16

13 Oct '16

How do you monitor the tor relay server and the relay itself, on a remote box? Zabbix seemed to have less overhead and simpler setup than nagios or icinga, so i started to set it up. Then i saw the note on https://www.torservers.net/wiki/setup/zabbix that they do not use it anymore, and i am wondering what is wrong with it.

Politically correct?
by torserver＠datakanja.de 13 Oct '16

13 Oct '16

Hello list members, for simple - political - reasons, i began contributing otherwise wasted bandwith to the tor network about half a year ago. And i am reading this list. Lately, there has been a discussion (Intrusion Prevention System Software - Snort or Suricata), that brought up some opinions about tor, more or less focused from a technical point-of-view. Interesting to me (the noob, that i am) was the belief, that tor was ok (as some seem to think). I am very much less optimistic: >From the information, i can gather on my own personal computer, i can see, that almost every operating system sends out greetings to servers in akamai's reach, a company that happens to have contracts with microsoft and whatnot. Reading about their business, i find every reason to believe, that the time to fight for anonymity on the net is long gone, that security - even from their perspective - needs more resources than any individual will ever be able to have at its disposal. Also, i am aware of the possibility to get tracked by the telecommunication provider anytime and without me noticing it. My conclusion has been, that i am maybe 30 years too late in my activity to support tor - as a simple relay -. And the companies that seem to have most control over the internet (like google, akamai, and others) are in the process to control more and more of it, and only for that reason are fighting against malware like viruses and bots, and of course also fighting tor (by using honeypots as well as intrusion into the community to get as much information as possible about the people trying to hide in anonymity). This seems to be so true to me, that i begin to feel _guilty of nourishing false hopes_, that any individual could feel safe by using tor, irrespective of where and how legitimate/needed their requests are originating from. Seriously, i am beginning to think, that tor may be somewhat outdated nowadays, basically operating on old assumptions, about how the net was organised merely a decade ago. And not taking into account the reality of today, where our little community may not be all too useful any longer. Hard to hide some disappointment, as i used to be a developer many years ago, and find that no one - apart from myself - refuses to cooperate in the process of accumulating data, which provides the basis for semi-automated analysis later, and help some authorities to excert power and control over the population living on this planet. As my son very correctly said (btw: on his mobile! ;-)) : "Today, life begins, where there is neither computer nor electricity, but meeting with friends." ...until the earth observing satelites will be able to discern individuals. :-( Can anyone get me out of this pessimistic viewpoint? If not, i am seriously reconsidering the futile attempt to engage into offering something to the net, that could lead to unveiling users activities opposed to what tor seems to promise. Sorry for thinking out loud, but seriously worried about my own simple-mindedness. The operator of "NewTorKidOnTheBlock"
