0.2.4.23 availability on trusty armhf?
by trash eighty 30 Jul '14

30 Jul '14

I am running a pretty active relay, using Ubuntu Trusty on armhf. I see 0.2.4.23 for Intel architecture in the repositories, but not on Trusty/armhf. Didn't know if this was an oversight, or if it's still coming down the pipe. Thanks, Trash80

Re: [tor-relays] German company Webtropia: Terminated contract without notice because of abuse

Let's not confuse two things, here. The customer wanting to host a Tor exit relay is a different service request than wanting to run a wide-open SMTP relay. No reputable ISP would agree to host an open SMTP relay and I'm sure this one did not knowingly do so. It would be unfortunate for ISPs to come under the incorrect impression that hosting Tor is equal to hosting open SMTP. ISPs which might have been Tor-friendly at the outset would do a 180 and unnecessarily adopt a No-Tor service … [View More]

German company Webtropia: Terminated contract without notice because of abuse
by uf＠riseup.net 30 Jul '14

30 Jul '14

Hi all, I've been running two exit relays, [1] and [2], at the German company Webtropia [3] for the past two weeks. Things went quite nice and smoothly, the speed of the server was decent and the network great, pushing quite some terabyte. Before renting the server, I told them what I wanted to do, if the would forward abuse etc. They said there were fine with this and forwarding would be no problem, given that I would deal with such mails in a timely manner. So I decided to rent the server, … [View More]

IMO, even relaying SMTP-like for the email which typically requires auth first isn't a great idea if there is any concern about an upstream getting abuse complaints about a relay (such as a leased box). A frequent way that spammers get their garbage out these days is to compromise a user account, I say this as a mail server admin who has to deal with the mess regularly. Oftentimes they guess the PW via dictionary attacks, but sometimes they keylog the user's box to get the email login. … [View More]

Re: [tor-relays] Relay not on Atlas or Globe?

Yes is there now. Very strange. I restarted it today because of a Tor update and a few hours later it was fine. M.

Relay not on Atlas or Globe?
by Michael Patton 30 Jul '14

30 Jul '14

Hello all, I have started a new exit relay recently (NetFreedomTest3 - 527ACFA6E729CF1CF3203444BA7E5E6CA6CE7F89) and it has been up over 5 days now. It has started seeing some decent traffic lately too. However I can't find the relay in Atlas or Globe? Any ideas? M.

Possible tor usage by Dragonfly aka Energetic Bear
by manuel＠myops.de 29 Jul '14

29 Jul '14

Hi, today I received a registered mail by the BKA, the german federal police, alerting me that some stuff related to the Dragonfly aka Energetic Bear backdoor Oldrea/Havex could be traced back to one of my ips. The ip in questions is the one with which I run my tor exit node. I phoned the BKA and asked if they would be aware that Dragonfly uses the tor network to connect to their C&C servers. At least the BKA-person at the phone wasn't aware. Just thought to let you know. Regards, M.

providers with AES-NI?
by Michael Ball 25 Jul '14

25 Jul '14

hey folks does anyone here know of any decent (and somewhat cheap) dedicated server providers that offer AES-NI crypto acceleration? the only decent and affordable one i've found so far is this from online.net: http://www.online.net/en/dedicated-server/dedibox-xc the bandwidth seems a bit low for the price... i assume what you're paying for is the processor and the memory. hit me up with all the providers you guys know of. thanks. michael ball

Speed of my relay not correct on global list
by B00ze/Empire 23 Jul '14

23 Jul '14

Good day. I hope this is the correct mailing list for this. I run a small relay, alias "Empire64" (I tried an exit once, but my IP was then banned at several places, so back to only a relay) on Win Xp. It is very small (bandwidth 80k, burst 160k) but it used to be smaller (64k). Back when it was 64k, I still had a lot of traffic, and in Vidalia's "View the network" list of relays, I was listed as a 64k node. Now that I have increased bandwidth and would like to increase it more … [View More]
