[Question] Onion router's bandwidth
by hyoseok Lee 23 Jan '14

23 Jan '14

Hi I am junior student in Sungkyunkwan University,South Korea I am studying Tor for my paper In my research, onion router has to report its bandwidth by sending descriptor to authority directory. and then authority directory verifies onion router's bandwidth [Question 1] I hope to know the way how authority directory verifies bandwidth which came from onion router. I was told that authority directory had bandwidth verifying tool called bandwidth scanner. How can I get source code of bandwidth scanner ? [Question 2] I made my own onion router, I configured my onion router's bandwidth 100kB/s But, In updated cached-microdesc-consensus file, My onion router's bandwidth was estimated at 20kB/s and there is "unmeasured=1" It means my onion router's bandwidth had not been estimated. what is difference between measured router and unmeasured router ? Thank you for reading my question

Trying Trusted Tor Traceroutes
by Anupam Das 22 Jan '14

22 Jan '14

Dear Tor relay operators, We have recently received a good rate of participation by relay operators to our measurement project. To give everyone an idea of the current participation rate we have hosted a live scoreboard of all our participants, available at http://128.174.241.211:443/relay_scoreboard The live scoreboard highlights all the IPs from which we received traceroute results along with the current status of the script running in their machine. The live scorebaord also summarizes the participation by the top Tor Families and the top guard and exit relays. We thank all the relay operators who have participated and hope more relay operators will participate soon. Thanks Anupam

bandwidth authority algorithm is cracked
by starlight.2014q1＠binnacle.cx 22 Jan '14

22 Jan '14

The bandwidth authorities assign all kinds of wildly incorrect capacities to the Tor node here. The Tor relay software has been up for 45 days and has not been down for more than five minutes for three or four months. Occasional outages from the ISP mucking with their network, but nothing more than ten or fifteen minutes in any week. The local node bandwidth calculation is consistently 490-495 Kbytes/sec. Very stable. Very consistent. The Tor bandwidth authorities assign values anywhere from 100 Kbytes/sec to almost 700 Kbytes/sec in an oscillating pattern with a period of about one week. Something is seriously wrong with that.

Trying Trusted Tor Traceroutes / Scoreboard bug
by Sebastian Urbach 21 Jan '14

21 Jan '14

Dear list members, We have seen a small amount of odd entries like "slash24-proxy" in the "phases completed" column at the scoreboard: http://128.174.241.211:443/relay_scoreboard It was a small script bug and Anupam is going to fix it today. No data is lost, please check back with the scoreboard in a few hours. Thank you for your patience. -- Mit freundlichen Grüssen / Sincerely yours Sebastian Urbach ---------------------------------------------- Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. ---------------------------------------------- Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790), Inventor, journalist, printer, diplomat, and statesman

Need help to set up Tor + Router: ORPort and DirPort unreachable
by Christian Stadelmann 20 Jan '14

20 Jan '14

Hi I am running tor 0.2.4.20 from official RPM repositories on my local machine (Fedora 20). I can use it to surf the web and https://check.torproject.org/ (besides others) tells me that tor is running. I had the same problem with 0.2.3.25 from fedora's own repository. According to `netstat -tulpen` tor listens on 0.0.0.0:9001, 0.0.0.0:9030, and Control port + Socks port. I configured my Router to port-forward 9001 and 9030 for both TCP+UDP and IPv4+IPv6. How can I test that this worked? I am running a local firewall but it does not seem to matter whether it is enabled or disabled. Is there anything else I could be missing? Regards Chris

(Copy to the list) Hi there, runing a non-exit relay is usually deemed safe, a separate abuse-handling is not necessary (because no exit-connections happen, that might infringe laws, but only connections to other tor nodes). You should however check the terms of service of your provider to make sure, that running an anonymization service is covered and allowed - some providers are calculating their prices and traffic allowances with very small profit margins and might suspend your account, if you produce too much traffic or use too much VPS resources. You can find several lists online[1][2] for some TL;DR-Shortcuts. If you still do need assistance, feel free to contact me on the mailaddress lars+tor(a)kumbier.it. You might also want to check out Zwiebelfreunde e.V. or other local tor groups like the Torrorists e.V.[3].

Hi Konrad, Please check if your files looks like this: slash24-220.ips slash24-220.scamper It would be a lower value than 220 though, just an example. You could check if there is a scamper and or traceroute process running. The speed and the filename documented on the site are indicating that you are running traceroute and not scamper. If we need to dig deeper i would suggest that we do this via private mail and inform the list if there is something relevant. -- Mit freundlichen Grüssen / Sincerely yours Sebastian Urbach ---------------------------------------------- Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. ---------------------------------------------- Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790), Inventor, journalist, printer, diplomat, and statesman
