doc/HARDENING Draft

01 Dec '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 I thought I'd share an initial draft of doc/HARDENING. Please share any opinions or contributions you have. This was written in a little more than an hour, so it's still a work in progress. However, in the spirit of prototyping before polishing, I thought I'd share early. Here's the relevant ticket: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/13703 A specific topic of conversation is how much of the advice should be in the document itself as opposed to linked sources. It could also use more OS diversity. After reading it, you can probably guess which *nix flavors I'm familiar with.

Fast Exit Node Operators - ISP in US
by SiNA Rabbani 29 Nov '14

29 Nov '14

Dear Relay Operators, I noticed there are very few US based exit nodes in the network. And more and more people are jumping on the same set of AS numbers in Europe. I am not if the reason is lack of Tor friendly ISPs or people are just too freaked out about the summer of Snowden. I think it's very wrong to assume that EU countries are not part of the world-wide-wiretap, packets are going through a few internet exchanges anyways. I have been hosting/operating Faravahar (one of the authority directory servers) at Rethem Hosting (rethemhosting.net) for a couple of years now, and never had any issues. I also just brought up 2 exit nodes there: https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/A5B1C342B316C2AE5695B903CED18F619A836… https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/6FFCDF910C32D620FCC6EEF7A8A57F3E9A234… If anyone is interested in running fast Tor Exit nodes at Rethem Hosting. Feel free to contact me directly, so I can make proper referral/introductions. Rethem Hosting is also able to provide hosting In IceLand, but you get the most bang for your buck in the US datacenter. Thank you for contributing to Tor.

wild swings in Advertised Bandwidth
by jchase 23 Nov '14

23 Nov '14

Hi, I'm running a low-volume bridge on a raspberry pi. Globe.torproject says that my fingerprint is 1BCD3EBEFE17EEB86EEDE21D5E2DB8468E2864CF . I'm keeping an eye on myself and traffic via globe.torproject and my advertised bandwidth makes wild swings: one day its 56 kB/s and the next day it's 8 kB/s. When I read that "The minimum BandwidthRate setting is 20 kilobytes per second", I am confronted with the fact that 8 is less than 20 and it doesn't seem worth it keeping my bridge up and working. Why would a bridge make such swings in advertised bandwidth? And is there any good reason to keep the bridge up and working if it sinks to 8 kB/s? Thanks, J Chase

Decision on Dedicated Server for Exit Node
by Libertas 22 Nov '14

22 Nov '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 I've been looking for a budget dedicated server to host an exit node on, and the best option I've found is BalticServers. However, they're already listed on the GoodBadISPs wiki page, and because they're in Northeast Europe (Lithuania, to be precise) I'm concerned that their ISP already has more exit nodes than is healthy for network diversity. Is it a good idea to host another exit node there? If you think there's a better option, I'd appreciate it if you could tell me either publicly or privately. Thanks, Libertas -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJUb8qfAAoJELxHvGCsI27Nx0sP/j5wBhV7EJZZ4EJoPgnoEH8A i6cDB3sL+Q50MgZivZLG47U+wdj95EJeIRl16RsaL0JaShVwyvbpStaIuhpOoujX FN0oumg3Z27fists+CSImLAHHHyr3a526XbWQazKZ7ReBvBZeIOa4PKA/OWsI8wg CWogwEWxbVNMojWaHMID3Y43qEeSH/T0R9ibqyrvqoZrOhnVqH1+1HzVs4FAWoST UMS2m/+b1qL4riL20XyaS0SUO0OkNbL3ecBnCN9LZJwMMuXVB4QNrsBSNFtDTpeu r8ZPJ/DxLJuQOtOvluSqqriKZCCi2lFAHovcXAf2ele0xqPrnJLFXDvhKkuAlv2o wQb+hdpBZ95u073cu/md8vTYVzA8NJ/sRTPmsWtxdRR8PMVpx59+BOAWNYMLWgEu JdTVinsbaWuKKTCtsZY0KAmYRbYC8E0O46z3OnOaeLX2s4MLUK/rPV3FoOAJ0tA3 ixnJ0kjuaFiBN7SRn+N4imBEmt5DP3cbPmai6YX5FzaL0RjlD+1uWk/ZxV66iK3c YrisgQ0bWFbVCGeztblvBGQF3o6cElCJ26Cvy3EaTn7No+1d4f+/1rYwYCmNHjYY mdfUhSfWWFNv+oaF9MU/IHek45l+yrTHHZlhrk3pmFX/bcUWWcfcYX1D/aMhgH58 7p48+5liXZOtSuVK44aS =/fUH -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Website no longer available from Tor
by Marcello Vitagliano 22 Nov '14

22 Nov '14

Hi from a few weeks the site spacemarc.it is no longer accessible via TOR. My hosting does not apply any filter nor I do it from code. I do not get any error from web server (forbidden, timeout and so on...) but the Tor Browser (v4.0.1) simply tries to connect for several seconds but to no avail (try yourself please). I checked the Apache logs and I do not see any request from an IP Tor. In your opinion why is not it more accessible? Thanks
