Tor-node/relay: System installation vs. TorBrowser
by Lars Edman ＠ LinuxSuSE 17 Mar '15

17 Mar '15

Hi! I was referred to you from help(a)rt.torproject.org. when asking them if they discouraged from using tor as a client or node/relay with tor in a system installation. By "system installation" I mean installation of tor, libevent, libgeoip (and ev vidalia) together with openssl. I found they today absolutely discouraged from the use of such a "system installation" when using tor as a client. When it came to using tor as a node/relay or running a server they referred the question to you. My reason for asking is that I have been running a "system installed" tor node in my Slackware server for 3 years now. subsequently updating/grading them. It has served well and I monitor the log continously for warnings or errors correcting the when they very rarely occur (usually by updating/_grading). My reason for using a system installation for node/server use is that I've found it easier to configure the way I wanted than the BrowserBundle. Do you consider this kind of installation insecure? Best regards Larse

List of longest lived Exits and Relays
by grarpamp 17 Mar '15

17 Mar '15

Is there a list somewhere (preferably on metrics) of exits and relays sorted by longest period of service (years) on the same IP? Preferably this would subset by exit policy... whether open, or using some published, named, and adopted "standard" exit policy. Such as "reduced" (whatever that means, each version should be reflected in the name "reduced-N").

Many inbound and outbound connections but no circuits
by mattia 16 Mar '15

Hello, I've been running a relay for some weeks. It has now earned the stable flag. Despite this I always have more than 500 inbound and outbound connections but no circuits at all. Is this normal?

keeping tor relays operational
by Larry Brandt 15 Mar '15

15 Mar '15

Sorry if this question has been answered dozens of times before. I have a middle relay that has been operational since last summer. I wish to make some alterations to my torrc file and make these changes operationally active without stopping and restarting tor. Is this possible? I experience a bit of down time whenever I up bandwidth, change contact info, etc. I'm also disapointed when ubuntu sends updates that require a server restart. What is the best method to handle this on a stand-alone server? LB

IP Address change detected wrongly (Our IP Address has changed)
by Sasikantha babu 14 Mar '15

14 Mar '15

Hi all, Today on my relay I observed the below messages 2 hours back. Tor reported address change from IP_IN_INDIA to IP_IN_FRANCE from SRC_1. The next second SRC_2 reported address change from IP_IN_FRANCE to IP_IN_INDIA . How could it be possible?. Is this a normal behavior?. Mar 10 08:06:52 NoNameForHost Tor[27279]: Our IP Address has changed from <MY_IP_INDIA> to <IP_IN_FRANCE>; rebuilding descriptor (source: SOURCE_IP_1__). Mar 10 08:06:53 NoNameForHost Tor[27279]: Our IP Address has changed from <IP_IN_FRANCE> to <MY_IP_INDIA>; rebuilding descriptor (source: SOURCE_IP_2__). PS: I'm not posting IP addresses but If you somebody wants the IP address too I will post them. Thanks

Hello. Would enabling the hardware random number generator on a relay node be usefull in terms of increased performance? If so, is it enough to activate /dev/hwrnd or is some configuration and/or recompilation required? Regards

Hi, Can someone point me to an overview of the different legal situations for running tor relays in European countries? I'm especially interested how the situation differs per country. Best, John
