Re: [tor-relays] Mozilla-Middles losing guard

at this very moment all of them got the flag, right. But theyre loosing it at seemingly random order. I kept an eye on Atlas for some time, at 18:00 (UTC+1) Mozilla13 was at 1.51 MB/s without Guardflag.

Mozilla-Middles losing guard
by lpwzi9i84＠use.startmail.com 17 Feb '15

17 Feb '15

Hi, i am wondering about losing of guard state of the Mozilla Middle Relays. Is it cause of 1 physical machine handles 6 IP's, 2 Relays each? Maybe the total bandwidth should shared by 4 IP's, 2 Relays each to increase the chance to keep a bandwidth throughput beyond 2 MB/s. Guardstate will be rejected by falling below 2MB/s, right? Just wondering if the Mozilla setup could be more smoothed... cheers (this emailadress will expire automatically after 2 weeks)

Tor weather - signature not found
by mattia 16 Feb '15

16 Feb '15

Hi all, I have recently converted a bridge to a relay. Its fingerprint is 0D14A4498E7D1854696CC07548653EA4CD3CB2DA. I wanted to subscribe to Tor Weather but when I try I get the "We could not locate a Tor node with that fingerprint." error. Searching the web I found it was a common error years ago, but shouldn't be now. Any ideas about it? Thanks!

tor weather not sending emails?
by Nusenu 16 Feb '15

16 Feb '15

Hi, I subscribed to tor weather to get notifications in case something is wrong with a relay. Although the relay had several downtimes (>1 day), I never got an email. (I subscribed to with the minimal setting 1 hour) Did anyone get emails from tor weather in the past 2-3 weeks during downtimes? thanks!

Value of an unused bridge?
by Elliott Jin 14 Feb '15

14 Feb '15

Hi all, I've had an EC2 bridge <https://globe.torproject.org/#/bridge/FD0814BDD15B2E591B04868B988D87FC6D331…> up for 2 weeks, and it seems to have gotten no usage. I'm considering converting it into a middle relay instead, but before I do so, I'm just wondering: - Is there value in having a marginal unused bridge "in reserve"? - Is this value greater than that of an active middle relay? Thanks! -Elliott -- Anonymous Feedback <http://www.admonymous.com/eyjin>

Thoughts on new relay
by Niklas Femerstrand 11 Feb '15

11 Feb '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Moin, Our relay is online as of Jan 23 and recently I've been thinking about pivoting it into a bridge instead. The relay lives in Cambodia and may naturally be a bit off from the rest of the network (latency). Consensus weight is steadily increasing despite various initial downtime incidents, which you can see in Atlas graphs. (We've had some network upgrades and during a separate event even had a monkey yanking the eth from the nic.) Currently we advertise 435.66 KB/s and with our current ~9d 10h uptime we have downloaded 3.6 GB resp uploaded 3.7 GB. Theoretically our tubes fit 10 Mbps download and 30 Mbps upload. The question is whether the relay is worth keeping with its current setup or if we can contribute more by re-configuring into a bridge. Unfortunately it is very risky for us to allow exit traffic, but we <3 any cipher packet. Please advice! https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/94F806110B23E727AE8BAD74DD95B0EE0B7A8… Regards, King Kong -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJU2gGzAAoJEHxAR3sGx+rLTzEP/05TJK3vzfPe3kUjUfg0G/wm vlc1vZLshAvK/pE1mf2DqDSgnuxR+QHHJI8htJOaU5VJVMlnEy4nsF0uE76It1EW OLUo7+LU452Sx7XjyVYMKOu6OJ9kD1Cg6OkNT2HEIOR+57x7vNJTYr7oF0uNu6dt UzVFJKkM3Y1ca4GsMS2M/oXFw2jGrrvmx4DLHu2OSDwNumy3ndOETnZscVfErAMK A/K4JI0Ws6pInBRciEHdak9ZBkR/f9jYGPbUXOSwnJN6XIsawijTIbrRLfYiUcro 0wj6mZYqXgKRDOvP57UNkf5UaolADQb6ssiLkhhAGu+DHnTt5V8g2vkqtY3wU02N 823X7o3oNZYq5yZFTbexH8Al+ys9KvKlu5q0YRYvbBwvI/yGHyr/gEI7ufV+9tZ6 z9Mo2hCBsaM0vrikBzejhjSw5qc4HcwMKErlC3cHQHIbszryu1O0WY1G22pwYgss mAGDr6OcdeIdMyNcJlpyH8+jToRSJrkAwDSPdQz+IVMq785x0GnOo2uV2/7NTr2J +LVUjSjAenRhPX+TrAFFujNYXZf5uD/EUfsGyUyCdBhJ5PWsLjYQ/EYD6PToDX8P BdocR3XfxZS7nD5PYRDfyWNeckCL6VPrnZrgMGIYBEXAn7jhX608vzmZV7IU7mzv 3NrnDWpllK4M42hT7fXs =hV51 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Is Bridges supposed to get a gurard flag?.
by Sasikantha babu 10 Feb '15

10 Feb '15

Hello All, I've been running a non-exit relay at home and a bridge on amazon cloud since dec-2014. And today I had noticed on atlas my bridge has got a guard flag and from the logs in the last 18 hours it had sent 4.73 GB and received 4.89 GB (finally I'm happy to see bandwidth being used on bridge). I've the following questions 1. Is a bridge supposed to get a guard flag ?. 2. Is there a difference between a guard flag of a relay and a guard flag of a bridge?. Thanks

question and concering about probability of exitnode
by tor＠viisauksena.de 10 Feb '15

10 Feb '15

hi, just want to note, i am proud to have an german exit node with 11Mbs .. but also concerned about this raising exit node probability, actually it reads for me like 1 of 400 tor-users is going through this exit (by recalculating a exit probability of 0.25 %) - this concerns me because it should not be so easy (running just some days on a vserver) and i don't know how high this will raise ? i mean, its easy for me to guess a nsa/gchq/bnd bad-ass-club can get some hundred vservers running, and get tor exclusively exits .. and guard (which was much more easy, i lost it because i quickly run out of maximum limit for a month, so i cut it, but the 1 day downtime lost me the guard flag) just my opinion .. and if you can show me some more information over the numbers of exits and guards and so on, i would be happy, cant believe there are so less many exit nodes out there ... thx, Jens

Minimizing service interruption when reloading torrc?
by Elliott Jin 09 Feb '15

09 Feb '15

Hi all, I'd like to reload torrc; I think I can do this by either restarting tor or by sending a SIGHUP to the tor process, but I'm not sure how much of a service interruption each of these approaches will cause. What's the best way to reload torrc (i.e. how can I do this in a way that minimizes the service interruption)? Thanks! -Elliott -- Anonymous Feedback <http://www.admonymous.com/eyjin>

Relay operators: help improve this hardening document?
by Nick Mathewson 07 Feb '15

07 Feb '15

Hi, all! There's a project going on to try to add instructions for hardening a Tor relay for security: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/13703 The idea is that Tor could ship with some basic recommendations, and links to places to find more advice? Recently, "mmcc" has uploaded a new draft. Do we think this is better than nothing and worth shipping with Tor, or does it need big changes? If possible, please write comments on the trac ticket above: it will help keep all the discussion in one place. best wishes, -- Nick
