Relays at universities campaign
by Eldalië 02 Feb '23

02 Feb '23

Hello everyone. At last Saturday's Tor Relay Operators Meetup, ongoing work on a "relays at universities" campaign was announced. I am interested in it as I may be able to help a little, so I'd like to receive any news, but I don't remember any message about it on tor-relays(a)lists.torproject.org list, and I see that tor-relays-universities(a)lists.torproject.org hasn't received any message at all since the only one from 2021. Is there a way to keep up with the campaign project already or it's being worked on by a "closed group"? Thanks, Eldalië -- Eldalië My private key is attached. Please, use it and provide me yours!

relayor v23.0.0 is released
by nusenu 27 Jan '23

27 Jan '23

Hi, relayor v23.0.0 is released. relayor is an ansible role that helps you with running tor relays with minimal effort (automate everything). https://github.com/nusenu/ansible-relayor#main-benefits-for-a-tor-relay-ope… This release comes with some great new prometheus integration features (some labels that tor does not provide out of the box). I'll follow up with a post that gives a general introduction on how to use relayor's prometheus integration soon. Changelog: https://github.com/nusenu/ansible-relayor/releases/tag/v23.0.0 Note: If you used relayor's prometheus support in previous relayor releases, make sure to set the tor_prometheus_scrape_file variable after upgrading to v23.0.0 and before running ansible-playbook with v23.0.0 for the first time. See the README for an example value. kind regards, nusenu -- https://nusenu.github.io

Proposal: increase max number of relays per IP
by mail＠nothingtohide.nl 23 Jan '23

23 Jan '23

Hello! Running a high bandwidth Tor server requires a lot of IPv4 addresses, while IPv4 addresses are becoming quite scarce and very expensive. For this reason we started the process to get the current limit of two relays per IPv4 address increased to reduce the cost of running high bandwidth Tor servers. You can find our proposal on Tor's Gitlab: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/tor/-/issues/40744. If you would like to support this proposal, let us know and we add your domain/nick to the issue :). This topic will also be on the agenda of the Tor Relay Operator Meetup on 2023-01-28 19:00 UTC: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-relays/2023-January/020973.html. See you there! - https://applied-privacy.net/ https://artikel10.org/ https://nothingtohide.nl/

bridge going down
by Anonforpeace 21 Jan '23

21 Jan '23

Hello: I have recently built a Tor Bridge (nickname is h4ck3rspace) and when it first went up, it was up to about two weeks and then it went down. So I brought it up again and ever since, it routinely goes down every 1 to 3 nights, between 8p and 10p EST. I've never seen this type of behavior before. Is there a way to know why it keeps going down so often, and subsequently how to prevent it? My area doesn't suffer from power outages and each time I restart Tor I wait to make sure it says that it is visible externally and that it will be published. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you Sent with [Proton Mail](https://proton.me/) secure email.

Netcraft spam
by jvoisin 10 Jan '23

10 Jan '23

Hello everyone, at Nos-Oignons[1], we're getting spammed, not only on abuse(a)nos-oignons.net, but also on our contact email, and so is our hoster and its upstream but Netcraft[2]. Of course, we started by diligently answering the emails, but now it does feel like a waste of everybody's time. We told them we're hosting tor nodes, and that there is little we can do to prevent morons from abusing the network and using our relays for bad things™, but the netcraft spam keeps coming, annoying everyone. Is this something other operators have seen too or are we alone? If so, is there anything that can be done to make them understand what's going on? Than,s 1. https://nos-oignons.net 2. https://www.netcraft.com/cybercrime/countermeasures/ -- Julien (jvoisin) Voisin GPG: 04D041E8171901CC dustri.org
