My exit's traffic isn't rising, is this normal?
by Jesse Victors 24 Jun '14

24 Jun '14

Hello everyone, I run https://globe.torproject.org/#/relay/1946F5E4748B069D3B989B5AF50C7DDD3AC618… and from the graphs it's clear that the traffic has roughly leveled off, rather than continue to climb. I generated a new key after Heartbleed, so it's been up for nearly three months. The bandwidth cap is set at about 100 MB/sec, (gigabit connection) which it's not even close to reaching. There's plenty of CPU available, and by all rights its got enough resources. At this rate, I've no idea how it is supposed to grow and help Tor more. For comparison, when I look at https://globe.torproject.org/#/relay/D3BDECB920E0B7543AD2BA7BF573F7B0F37F7B…, one of the Top 10 relays, I see the traffic growing much at a much higher rate, and https://globe.torproject.org/#/relay/F3B57BB429B4CA82A844B713E42666DF4BF7B8… is another example. What are they doing that I'm not? Another of my exits, https://globe.torproject.org/#/relay/2FC06226AE152FBAB7620BB107CDEF0E70876A…, is on a downward trend, yet has the same configuration as my first one. What can I do to reverse it? Thanks, Jesse V. 0xC20BEC80

KVM based virtual machine showing 4 MB/s in atlas, others showing 8-9MB/s ?
by s7r＠sky-ip.org 23 Jun '14

23 Jun '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, The same virtualization technique at different providers gives me different advertised bandwidth for relays in atlas: one provider 8-9MB/s other 3-4 MB/s The relays are all exit, having the same RAM and CPU configuration, as well as 100mbit port and unmetered traffic, they use the same Tor version, none of them are capped in any way via torrc or other means, same operating system and same virtualization technique. Why could be this difference in advertised bandwidth?

Shutting down middle relays (off-topic)
by Tora Tora Tora 23 Jun '14

23 Jun '14

Regretfully, I have to shutdown my two middle relays (not too big, you won't even notice it :-D), since I am unable to resolve issues with the latest OpenSSL bug. I was able to find upgraded packages for Centos and Fedora that are supposed to address CVE-2014-0224 vulnerability (the change log claims so). However, the Tripwire )SSL_CCS_InjectTest and Qualys onlien tests both disagree. If someone can suggest a resolution that works, I might be able to keep them running, otherwise I see no point in running vulnerable relays until I figure things out. Thanks ...

CLI tool like Atlast
by Kali Tor 22 Jun '14

22 Jun '14

Hi all, Is there a CLI client/tool that does what https://atlas.torproject.org/ does? Basically provide an output based on a node's fingerprint? e.g. https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/7EDE11A41D1C7DF4F9103ABAA4F0A31E42CB0… Thanks, KaliTor

Lost hsdir flag
by kingqueen 21 Jun '14

21 Jun '14

hello, I don't know why, my relay nicknamed kingqueenbtnftw used to have the hsdir flag but now doesn't. I think from what I can gather, hsdir is based purely on the time since last boot / restart Tor service, rather than how long the relay has been up in total? That would explain it. Thanks kingqueen --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast! Antivirus protection is active. http://www.avast.com

Traffic limitation
by johhher 19 Jun '14

19 Jun '14

Hi, I'm running a Tor relay on a cheap Linux vserver with high bandwidth. I have a traffic limitation of 500Gb per month and was just wondering what would be the best configuration for the network. Currently I've limited the traffic to a daily maximum to prevent it from hibernating a long time at the end of the month. Is this the right way to do it? Or would be better to limit it on a monthly basis. Thanks for an answer! Johhher

Yahoo and AOL emails removed from tor-relays due to bounces
by Andrew Lewman 19 Jun '14

19 Jun '14

It seems Yahoo and AOL email servers have decided to refuse all messages from this tor-relays list. Other lists aren't affected, yet. We're seeing this message from Yahoo and AOL servers: "Status: 5.2.1 Remote-MTA: dns; mailin-04.mx.aol.com Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 521 5.2.1 : (DMARC) This message failed DMARC Evaluation and is being refused due to provided DMARC Policy" There is no fix for this yet as it breaks mailing list software globally. This bug explains the situation, https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=752084 If you use yahoo or aol for email, unfortunately you can't join nor receive email from our lists. I suspect this will become true for all of our email lists soon. -- Andrew pgp 0x6B4D6475 https://www.torproject.org/ +1-781-948-1982

CentOS of the air
by I 19 Jun '14

"At about 02:00 UTC June 18th 2014, changes at the domain registrar caused the CentOS.org domain to get marked as Inactive. This caused widespread outages, with all services in centos.org including: - - Mirror Network ( internal centos.org as well as external ) - - All mirrorlist - - All isolist - - Website ( including bugs.centos.org and wiki.centos.org - - All internal support infrastructure Services were restored at the registrar just before 9:00 AM UTC June 18th, however depending on dns path some users might still see issues for upto 6 to 8 hrs from that point.

tor-arm question
by Adam Griffin 19 Jun '14

19 Jun '14

Hi, Just started a new tor relay on my raspberry pi yesterday and I'm monitoring with tor-arm over ssh. I'm currently listed on atlas.torproject.org with flags 'Fast', 'Running', 'V2Dir', and 'Valid' with > 17hrs uptime. However, tor-arm is showing a blank for uptime and about once a minute, the CLI goes blank and then flickers back. (the flickering happens at the same rate for local and remote SSH) Also, about once every couple hours I get a 'Relay unresponsive' and then 10 seconds later 'Relay resumed'. Anything to do to remedy these issues?

Help keeping Tor relay up
by Evelyne Fong 19 Jun '14

19 Jun '14

I've managed to get my relay running long enough to run the bandwidth check and have it succeed. I'll check Atlus and it'll say my relay's up and running. However when I check again about an hour later, it's saying that "Running: false". I've set up the relay recently, so I'm not expecting a lot of traffic. However, I'm confused as to if my relay is suddenly failing for no reason or is Atlus saying my relay is no longer running because there's no traffic on it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
