Ports 465 and 587 vanished from reduced exit policy?
by Mike Perry 25 Jun '15

25 Jun '15

It appears that some years ago someone quietly removed port 465 and 587 from the reduced exit policy at https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/ReducedExitPolicy without an explanation. I've added them back in, since these ports should only be used for user-authenticated SMTP, and not spam. Has anyone experienced any abuse from these ports that involved non-authenticated mail/spam? Otherwise, it seems that exit operators who were using the reduced exit policy should consider updating their polices to include these ports. -- Mike Perry

A bridge too far
by jchase 24 Jun '15

24 Jun '15

Hello, Can anybody help me figure out why my bridge has stopped showing the flags fast, running and stable? Especially stable, I would love to get that flag back. I run two bridges, on two different Rasp Pi's, the one with a globe fingerprint of B08284109C72C81ACF5866A17A4CC64CE3E16499 . The other with a globe fingerprint of 1BCD3EBEFE17EEB86EEDE21D5E2DB8468E2864CF . The first bridge runs with obfs 3 & 4 on a Pi 2. It seems I lost the stable flag around the time I got obfs 4 up and running. The second bridge runs only with obfs 3 on an older Pi. I've read that the stable flag is quite handy. Any ideas about how I can get it back? Greetings, J Chase

Problems with second/third relay
by TORnet Zone 24 Jun '15

24 Jun '15

Really need some help here, just cannot find the answer. I've been running 2 middle relays for a year now, from a home/business IP, one DSL and the other cable. Only problems were brief and IP induced all has served the system well. I recently attempted to add a 3rd relay on the same cable feed as one of my others, but there is no way the ORport will connect. I have DMZ'd the static address, forwarded the ports, changed the ports - the ORport just will not open. And yes I realize diversity is tightened, but I'm trying to help all I can on my budget. First - CAN there be two relays on the same dynamic address (different port numbers) ? How? Do I need some form of DNS service to help? Relay 1 is Linux 3.2.0-86 and Tor 0.2.6.9. Relay 2 is Linux 3.16.0-30 and Tor 0.2.6.9. The DMZ'd relay worked until I had to forward 9001 to the 2nd, then it quit. Uptime was normally 40 - 50 days until a kernel update, or something major. Both are old laptops on battery backups that never have power down. Router is an Archer C7, latest firmware. -Gumby

Raspberry Pi - Relay Setup
by Tor Zilla 24 Jun '15

24 Jun '15

Hello All, I just bought a Raspberry Pi.. Wanted to setup as a Tor non exit relay. I have read so many instructions online on how to set it up but i am facing issues with opening ports. I am using a NetGear Router and require your inputs with the same. Also is static IP mandatory for setting up a relay? Thanks, TorZilla11
