halp #2
by Markus Koch 24 Aug '16

Sorry to bother you guys again Its 6am here and after reading the FAQ and other install guides I am out of ideas I just complied TOR (hurray!) on a NON-ROOT server. 1. Issue: I cant find the torrc file. I found out that the rest of the stuff is in ~./tor but no torrc at all. Where is it/should I put it? 2. Issue: I only need the complied TOR executable and I can safely delete all the other stuff? Cheers, Markus

HALP!

I just deleted my best running exit node to move to another vps. I copied /etc/tor and /var/lib/tor + keys dir and moved it to the new vps. I double-checked the files/keys are the same but i still get a new fingerprint. Wtf is wrong with me? Markus Sent from my iPad

Re: [tor-relays] GeoIP

Well, as canonizing ironize says on Tor's StackExchange, "GeoIP is bullshit." https://github.com/epidemics-scepticism/tor-misconception/blob/master/READM… On Aug 23, 2016 10:10 AM, "Fred Rauch" <albino(a)autistici.org> wrote: Hi, I just started up another relay, and atlas' GeoIP data on it is incorrect (says it is in Netherlands when it is in fact in Lithuania). Where does Atlas get its GeoIP data from? Can this be corrected? It's not a huge issue but it would be nice for the correct country to be displayed. albino _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays(a)lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays

relay on a vps not exclusively used for tor?
by jensm1 23 Aug '16

23 Aug '16

Hi, I'm planning to get myself a small VPS for simple things like calendar-synching and backup of important data. Since these things are very light on resource-usage, I thought about putting a tor relay (non-exit) on the server, so it does something useful instead of idling most of the time. Is this advisable, or are there reasons why I shouldn't put a relay on a server that is used simultaneously by other things? Thanks for your advice!

Accounting and the 'Stable' flag
by Ralph Seichter 22 Aug '16

22 Aug '16

Hello list, I have enabled daily accounting on a non-exit Tor relay some days ago. On the first day, the transfer threshold was reached and the relay entered hibernation for a few hours, as expected. On the next day, I reduced RelayBandwidthRate to ensure that the accumulated transfer would fall just short of the AccountingMax value. During the last days, the relay has only been offline once for a couple of minutes (software update), besides the previously mentioned single hibernation period. As of today, the relay seems to have lost the 'Stable' flag, which I don't really understand. Am I missing something here? I could not find documentation mentioning a relationship between accounting and the 'Stable' flag. -Ralph

Or six-years-old-sandbox(a)lists.torproject.org This whole manifesto sounds like it was written by spoiled teenager or counter intelligence agent who is trying to incite unrest. Its designed to provoke emotions and doesn't deal with anything real. And I think its really awesome. This means that tor is a pain on someone's ass and doing its job for people who really need it. This someone is likely from said intelligence because spinning sexual scandals and building new stuff on those "scandals" is their way of doing their job where people get socially crucified without any evidence or legal conduct. Even when and _if_ such conduct happens it _always_ ends fast and without conclusions, but the harm was already made. Noise around tor is good for tor - it means its alive. Its just sad to see that people can get destroyed in this information war. Actually this stuff made me to slap another relay somewhere On Mon, Aug 22, 2016 at 9:08 AM, I <beatthebastards(a)inbox.com> wrote: This thread should be moved to [ tor-knitting-circle(a)lists.torproject.org ] or write to The Tor Corporation you think exists.

Tiny computers (RPi-like) for exit nodes?
by Zack Weinberg 22 Aug '16

22 Aug '16

Has anyone had any experience running *exit* nodes on Raspberry Pi-grade hardware, or slightly beefier? We are thinking of replacing the old, bulky, power-hungry machine currently running exit 78C7C299DB4C4BD119A22B87B57D5AF5F3741A79 with something on that level. It only has to hit 10Mbps. thanks, zw

I'm not switching off my relay, primarily because I'm lazy and can't be arsed to figure out what all the politics bullshit is about. Some project member did some shit and other project members are mad at them. Other people may or may not be righteously mad at the first people for reasons I haven't bothered to learn. I started my relay so oppressed people in third world countries could communicate with the outside world and each other in relative safety. If that objective is still being achieved by the software, I could give a shit what beefs the coders have with each other.
