Matt, Inspired by the options to confirm domain ownership with Google, Could you ask the relay operator to include a randomly generated (by you) token in their contact field? It may take a while to propagate and it requires action on the operator's part, but it's not difficult and I expect it provides the assurance you need. > On 05/03/2015 04:20 PM, Matthew Finkel wrote: >> On Sun, May 03, 2015 at 12:05:49PM -0700, Aaron Hopkins wrote: >>> On Sun, 3 May 2015, Matthew … [View More]

Drop in relay count
by Linus Nordberg 03 May '15

03 May '15

Hi, Looking at the graphs showing the number of relays in the network it seems like we've lost about 500 (-7%) relays since the beginning of this year. https://metrics.torproject.org/networksize.html?graph=networksize&start=201… https://metrics.torproject.org/networksize.html?graph=networksize&start=201… Looking at the graphs showing the total relay bandwidth of the network it seems like the advertised bandwidth has increased with about 25 Mbps (+23%). https://metrics.… [View More]

Effectively donating bandwidth
by Curtis Gagliardi 30 Apr '15

30 Apr '15

I'm running a relay with the extra bandwidth on my VPS, but I'm unsure if it's optimally configured. I have 2.5TB of bandwidth I want to use every month. Given that, how do I configure my relay in the most helpful way? The docs mention dividing my bandwidth by 30 and setting an accounting max of 1 day. It also suggests "You might also consider rate limiting to spread your usefulness over more of the day". What not use an accouting period of a month and spread it out over the full month? … [View More]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 hello relay operators! i've asked this question on IRC once or twice, but it seems the right people aren't online/active when i am. i think i might be able to get a better audience to answer my questions here on the mailing lists. let's begin: is it possible to run 5 bridges on one low-end VPS? each bridge would be hosted on a different IP address from five different /24 IP blocks, so that's not an issue. would i have to use multiple Tor … [View More]

Hi there, After a long month of not having time for this, I've got it working thanks to Sina's help. I've attached patches to the ec2-prep.sh script that should make it work again (nothing extensive, basically just what Sina pointed out plus something about ExtORPort I saw it complaining about in the log. Bridge is now up. :) Best wishes, allicoder On Sun, Mar 22, 2015 at 10:51:42AM +0000, tor-relays-request(a)lists.torproject.org wrote: > Send tor-relays mailing list submissions to > … [View More] tor-relays(a)lists.torproject.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > tor-relays-request(a)lists.torproject.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > tor-relays-owner(a)lists.torproject.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of tor-relays digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Installing obfs4 on Raspberry Pi bridge

Hello, Thanks, everyone, for all the help. Obfs4proxy is up and running on a Pi2. Although the information on the subject is scattered across several issues on this list, I hope others can use it to build some bridges! http://www.zipplet.co.uk/index.php/content/raspberrypi_golang was a useful page on getting go 1.2 or higher installed on a Pi2.

Subpoena received

Hi I just wanted to let you know that Washington sent us a subpoena regarding one of our exit nodes in Romania. They want to know the real IP behind the Tor Network. I mailed them what Tor is and why I can't help them in identifying this person. Nevertheless I will give you the link to the full subpoena. Maybe you guys find it interesting. I will forward the subpoena to our lawyer as well. https://mega.co.nz/#!ilIjlZSb!-deirKharWaDtp_UMxhev58E14zeouyoWUbzxeWPvEQ Greetings -- Sam Grüneisen … [View More]
