keypair issue after backing up relay
by Matlink 23 Nov '15

23 Nov '15

Hi, I'm running a tor relay. I once had some trouble about running it, and I decided to reinstall tor via apt-get. Of course, it did erased all my private and public keys, that I missed to backup before reinstalling tor. Then I ran tor again, with the new identity. As I have a container backup running every day, I was able to recover the erased private and public keys, that I put them back. I can run tor with my original identity, but the directory server is saying me '[WARN] http status 400 ("Looks like your keypair does not match its older value.")'. How can I fix it ? I would like to keep the original identity, since I had all the convenient flags and don't want to wait another couple of weeks to get them back with a new identity.

warning in my relay log
by DARKNET.IT 23 Nov '15

23 Nov '15

I have changed server and tor version (from Tor 0.2.6.10 to Tor 0.2.7.5). My relay works but I have this warning: "http status 400 ("Looks like your keypair does not match its older value.") response from dirserver '208.83.223.34:443'. Please correct." This is my relay fingerprint: 59573AB90614D929360C7D9BCBF3313497A22AA2 What means and what I have to do? The keys for me is correct. Thanks for reply

Actions required after update?
by kingqueen 23 Nov '15

23 Nov '15

Hi That's a hefty changelog for the new stable release of Tor. I'm in awe of and grateful to the developers, as it's all well beyond me. Please could anybody confirm, is there any action required for somebody running the relay on a pretty bog-standard Ubuntu 12.04 Linux dedi, other than sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ? Thank you!

IP-Echelon complains about claimed infringement
by Riccardo Mori 22 Nov '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi everyone, It's almost a week that I am receiving dozens of "Notices of Claimed Infringement" a day from IP-Echelon, all equals, saying that they "are contacting" me "on behalf of Paramount Pictures Corporation (Paramount)" and asking me to remove the film in question that is being shared via bittorent (the port varies each time). The first time I wrote them that the ip address in question is a Tor exit node, I explained briefly what is Tor and that I can't do anything to help them. I also wrote to MyLoc (the ISP) saying pretty much the same. I wrote to IP-Echelon another time but they never replied. Usually I wouldn't care about them but this time MyLoc told me to "fix the problem or" they "will block" my "server". I modified the exit policy so now I am running the reduced one[1] That (in theory) should fix the problem but I would like to avoid the reduced policy. Is there anyone that had the same issues with IP-Echelon and can help me? Usually how do you handle those annoying auto generated reports?

Tor Weather not working?
by Green Dream 21 Nov '15

21 Nov '15

I took a relay offline 2 days ago and still haven't received a notification from Tor Weather. The preferences page confirms everything is configured, but yet, it doesn't seem to be working for me. I checked the spam folder. Is there someplace to file tickets for this, or some other contact info for the maintainers of this service? I'd be happy to share additional details if someone wants to look into it.

Abuse messages from IPs marked as rejected in the exit policy
by tor-admin＠torland.me 18 Nov '15

18 Nov '15

Hi all, I am receiving abuse messages for the Torland1 relay for IPs that are blacklisted in the exit policy. For example as https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/E1E922A20AF608728824A620BADC6EFC8CB8C… shows, 62.67.194.0/24 is blocked. But I am getting abuse messages out of this IP range. Can someone explain me how this can happen? Thanks/regards Torland

New security feature in upcoming tor 0.2.7.x: OfflineMasterKey
by nusenu 18 Nov '15

18 Nov '15

Hi, I'd like to highlight a "new" security feature in the expected upcoming tor stable release: offline master keys I'm posting this here now - before the actual release - because if you upgrade without thinking about this feature your ed25519 master key will be generated the first time tor 0.2.7.x starts up and at that point in time it might be already to late for the - 'master key never touched my online relay' - option. Why are offline master keys better then online master keys? - you can keep the key under your control while using (semi-trusted) hosting providers - impact of relay compromise or seizure is less fatal and limited in time (default worst case: 30days) - the bad guys have to come back every 30 days to steal your keys again The default expiry for signing keys is 30 days but can be configured (torrc). It is also important to note that if you enable this feature your relays need more care (depending on how you configure key expiry). If you forget about it and the signing key expires your relay will shutdown. Something that will be noticed by a relay operator monitoring its relays and bw usage. Even if you are running 0.2.7.x already you can make use of this feature by moving your master key from the relay to an offline system + torrc configuration. Documentation is currently a bit light but s7r is working on improving it. https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/16645 related tor-dev thread: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2015-November/009905.html ansible-relayor will eventually support offline master keys but it will take some time until tor 0.2.7.x reaches all platforms including OpenBSD. A first (unreviewed) poc has been committed in a dedicated branch. https://github.com/nusenu/ansible-relayor/commit/2c4040df7848f382ced02b43f3… Automation is key in making this feature usable (with short key expiry). You might want to consider this feature - especially if you run a significant portion of the tor network.
