No Bridges Being Returned by Onionoo
by Matthew Dobbins 21 Apr '14

21 Apr '14

Does anyone know why no bridges are being returned by the Onionoo Service? The summary page (https://onionoo.torproject.org/summary) lists normal relays, but returns an empty bridge list. Also, a detailed bridge query (https://onionoo.torproject.org/details?type=bridge) also returns an empty list. Cheers, mjd

Sudden drop in number of active relays
by Jesse Victors 20 Apr '14

20 Apr '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hey everyone, I just checked in on https://metrics.torproject.org/network.html and noticed that there's been sudden drops in the number of relays which seems to have caused all other graphs to tank as well. It's too late for this drop to be caused by Heartbleed fixes, so what could explain this? Were these relays banned by the network because they were vulnerable to Heartbleed? Does anyone know what the deal is here?

Re: [tor-relays] A few questions about my setting up my first Tor relay.
by Nastase G. Eduard 19 Apr '14

I'm researching more on Raspberry and I see its way cheaper to run a relay this way. Won't cost me more the 100ε for a relay that will be self-sustaining. Considering there won't be any monthly expenses (except the internet) the initial investment can be recovered, 24/7 relay and no electricity cost, perfect!

"What fraction of the tor network by consensus weight are the openssl-vulnerable relays?"

Making a separate thread so as not to pollute the challenger[1] one. Roger: you wanted to know (times are UTC if anyone cares), [22:08:35] [...] we now have a list of 1000 fingerprints, and we could > pretend those are in the challenge and use our graphing/etc plans on them > [22:08:45] they happen to be the relays vulnerable to our openssl bug > [22:11:43] "what fraction of the tor network by consensus weight are they?" > [22:11:49] "over time" Given them[2], the challenger (with minimal changes to fix downloader and to make Onionoo not falter)[4] will spit out the following results: - http://ravinesmp.com/volatile/challenger-stuff/vuln1024-combined-bandwidth.… - http://ravinesmp.com/volatile/challenger-stuff/vuln1024-combined-weights.js… - http://ravinesmp.com/volatile/challenger-stuff/vuln1024-combined-clients.js… oh, this one's empty. Why is it empty? Didn't look into it.] - http://ravinesmp.com/volatile/challenger-stuff/vuln1024-combined-uptime.json The 'combined-weights.json' is probably the one you might be after. But that's all I did for now. You also said that these aren't all the vulnerable relays that there are out there. You linked to a more complete list[3], but it has some typos, etc. I haven't done anything with it, maybe someone will take over, or I will do something later on.

False warnings about inaccurate clock
by Stephan 18 Apr '14

18 Apr '14

Hi all, I got two strange warnings within three days that I've never found in my logs before: > Apr 15 21:58:08.000 [warn] Our clock is 1 minutes, 52 seconds behind > the time published in the consensus network status document (2014-04-15 > 20:00:00 UTC). Tor needs an accurate clock to work correctly. Please > check your time and date settings! > Apr 18 15:58:03.000 [warn] Our clock is 1 minutes, 57 seconds behind > the time published in the consensus network status document (2014-04-18 > 14:00:00 UTC). Tor needs an accurate clock to work correctly. Please > check your time and date settings! My "problem" with these warnings is: my server's time is correct. I'm running an NTP demon and verified the time manually - there is not even one second deviation, much less nearly two minutes. Has anyone else experienced such warnings these last days? Is it really my server or could it be an error with the consensus network status document? -Stephan

Well, this really convinced me on using Raspberry as a relay. Very nice guide. Due to the very low power consumption I'm thinking on setting relays that are battery and solar powered (I'll build some grapheme supercapacitators) and using an anonymous internet connection (3G/4G via a mobile router, very easy to obtain). Could be something nice.

Re: [tor-relays] Init.d script for two simultaneous Tor instances
by Jesse Victors 18 Apr '14

18 Apr '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 I prefer "ps aux | grep tor" and then you can seem them running side by side. You can also seem them on htop, which I prefer over top. My init.d script sets a different log file to each instance, allowing you to monitor the logs of each independently. If you are clever though, you could do something like alias torlogmon='watch -n 10 "cat /var/log/tor/notices.log | tail -8 && echo \"***************\" && cat /var/log/tor2/notices.log | tail -8"' and watch the logs of both at the same time. If you want to use arm you will have to set arm up for each instance. I've been moving away from arm in favor of other tools, one of which is "speedometer", a nifty package that allows you to monitor bandwidth usage remotely. If Tor is the only thing on your machine, you get basically the same thing as the arm graph. alias speedometer="speedometer -l -m 1048576 -rx eth0 -c -tx eth0" Where 1048576 is the maximum bytes/sec value that will be shown in the y-axis on the linear graph. Modify depending on your utilization. I prefer working with powers of 2 with this. The man page is useful of course. Jesse V.
