How to troubleshoot obfs4 bridge?
by Tim Sammut 12 Mar '15

12 Mar '15

Hi. I've configured my bridge to support obfs3 and obfs4 transports using the debian obfs4proxy package from http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org. Connecting to the bridge using TBB 4.5a4 works for obfs3 but not obfs4. TBB produces this error: [warn] Proxy Client: unable to connect to x.x.x.x:41980 ("server rejected connection") The bridge line I am supplying to TBB looks like: bridge obfs4 x.x.x.x:41980 On the bridge side, it looks like the bridge is listening for obfs3 and obfs4 via the following log entries: Tor[21544]: Registered server transport 'obfs3' at '[::]:51161' Tor[21544]: Registered server transport 'obfs4' at '[::]:41980' The relevant parts of my bridge config are: ORPort 443 ExtORPort auto BridgeRelay 1 ServerTransportPlugin obfs3,obfs4 exec /usr/bin/obfs4proxy Should this be working? How can I troubleshoot this? Thanks! hope you are well tim -- Tim Sammut ~ @t1msammut ~ tim(a)teamsammut.com

Keeping your obfsproxy up to date
by Linus Nordberg 12 Mar '15

12 Mar '15

Hi list, I just found out that my obfsproxy relays didn't obfsproxy any more. I was apparently running a pretty old version, installed from source. How do you people keep your obfsproxies (and pyptlib) up to date? Are there packages? Is there a list or some other channel where new versions are announced that I'm not paying attention to? Thanks, Linus

Tor RPM packages now come with multi-instance support (since v0.2.6.4-rc) -- please test them
by Nusenu 11 Mar '15

11 Mar '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hi, Tor RPM packages (starting with version 0.2.6.4-rc) now come with multi-instance support [1]. This makes it easier for everyone running more than one tor instance on a system. A short mini how-to for relay ops that would like to use this: service tor stop 1) create the folder: /etc/tor/enabled 2) move all your *.torrc files in this folder (they have to have the .torrc file suffix) 3) create the file '/etc/default/tor' and place the following line in it: MULTI_INSTANCE="yes" 4) make sure you have tor RPM packages v0.2.6.4-rc or higher finally: service tor start will start one tor instance per exiting /etc/tor/*.torrc file (each file is checked using --verify-config first). Note: /etc/tor/torrc will be ignored in multi-instance mode. Maybe we can add documentation to comments in /etc/default/tor.. The init.d script supports "selective" commands: Lets say you only want to restart the instances that are defined in the following two torrc files: /etc/tor/enabled/tor22.torrc /etc/tor/enabled/tor443.torrc you can do that with: service tor restart tor22 tor443 Please consider testing the new packages if you run already multiple instances today. If your instances do not start for unknown reasons please run 'tail -f /var/log/audit/audit.log' while staring them and file a bug (include the log lines and whether it works in SELinux permissive mode). Thanks to Ondrej for merging this! now lets hope for the debian packages [1] before 0.2.6.x is released, Nusenu [1] https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/14996 [2] https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/14995 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJVALjtAAoJEFv7XvVCELh0Z5EP/1707hburFFHAFlls3KIY0t8 O3g7MDSgB+D0cgTOgwLCow+8+vtvLi4aUIH+ajCVeTRipQCHKtW/yczLVKDrGfnP GDicf7RzQbVwmgYyuKx2aL5d+1euybklWB49Wsq+t0A7Um5VC93BXIY6v3Psx8wS qHGLOEJVmpWP5/hOT4yJ9rjpjnMxUyQFfavD6Tj0+dJhkDRfK3dCmV2bUU7gUjb/ EaQoGbJPsG90OcW2Wel0HRAFQFnRNjPjOVc5E26FD2MKyTXr/d0Em4bR9uJJpHEn z79+I31zcaQu+lluKwkBfqoXOpotgA5uzXjBbstMXQd1LAoBTXdWWEg2dUkMK456 OCJ9KmHo7qXyanHThoSq0wHDDwHu3UCu4g6lOPZNFaCVDaVHGsyF/VbtqyvnzrYz 815wV8Kd/mv/yXumlJ3lSaNjAunAN/ocDTXxhGmDuTBYGiElw9KUlec8As0B8Dfe eo5d25rzTfsbOFcSo+vWj3wFP4D5IqvGoTR/jdVXVl2JgzM9eqD44CuZ3x12xXKS DbMCIdWogvuxNfaFd02JKQbAO9ZUZZvyT7hy5LKGZ1gXgi/eH/tyiBrKPGYDky14 2X87gQ3W3zaAwW0k2bX23WHBhvM0djFBRPDlldxZUdPmUzPh/bwPYRdwLk0Tj5mQ 4EC7l5KB9Sj3nrrkjXAw =kzZi -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Huge drop in consensus and bandwith usage
by mattia 10 Mar '15

10 Mar '15

Hi everyone! I've been running a relay ( 0D14A4498E7D1854696CC07548653EA4CD3CB2DA ) for more about 3 weeks now. Its lifecycle did not follow the path explained in the famous "Lifecycle of a relay" blog post - I think because the same fingerprint was previously used by the same server configured as a bridge. My network capacity should be around 10Mbps (20Mbps nominal) in download. While consensus and bandwith usage have been growing for the first days and then got stable (more than 200KB/s), since two days both values have been dropping extremely (https://globe.torproject.org/#/relay/0D14A4498E7D1854696CC07548653EA4CD3CB2…). The uptime is little because not knowing what to do I tried rebooting the system - it did not help. What could this be caused by? Thanks in advance Mattia

Yourserver.se - Your TOR exit node generates too many complaints
by Vinicius 10 Mar '15

10 Mar '15

Hello to All, I am currently running two tor exit relays[1] in providor yourserver.se, all of them with restrict exit policy, until now i didnt have any problem with those, except with their's automated system implemented, in use by yourserver.se, but was easy to solve, that happend some month's ago. Recently i receive a couple(2 actually) of complaints comming from Hetzner[2], complaining about port's scans comming from the tor exit relay, and i did reply all of those, but now the operator Michael is telling me that it received to much complaints and i should stop the exit or they will suspend, does someone have any other vps providor that can be recommended for sure that it doesn't do that. I dont mind if the price is more than 100% higher of the currently providor. Thank you. Sorry about my crappy english.

relay behind reverse proxy

10 Mar '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 hello tor ^.^ i'm trying to setup a tor relay behind a nginx reverse proxy... i would like to know if it's correctly setup. i have this warn in the logs: [warn] Received http status code 404 ("Not found") from server '85.14.240.188:443' while fetching "/tor/keys/fp/27B6B5996C426270A5C95488AA5BCEB6BCC86956". but then in the same log little bit after: [notice] Tor has successfully opened a circuit. Looks like client functionality is working. last message is : Now checking whether ORPort X.X.X.X:9001 is reachable...

Hi all, i've been noticing over the last few days oniontip.com has been flaky. As I'm writing this the site is down again. Does anyone have contact with some of the developers, because it's a really cool project and I want to know what's going on. Corey Wood

multi tor instance support for startup scripts

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 I just filed two tickets to add support for multiple tor instances to the official deb/rpm packages.
