Node specialization
by Pascal 01 Sep '13

01 Sep '13

http://torstatus.blutmagie.de indicates that only 21.4% of Tor nodes are exit nodes. Are we wasting this precious resource by running non-exit traffic through these nodes? -Pascal

This thread did go goofy and bad (and off-topic, given the subject in the emails). It seems clear that there are important reasons Tor could never begin examining/taking direct responsibility for/filtering the content that flows through it (as opposed with disallowing specific ports, which is different). Asking for this seems naive.

Overload data for Exit vs Non-Exit (and Guard vs Middle)?
by Mike Perry 31 Aug '13

31 Aug '13

To try to get to the bottom of the recent influx of clients to the Tor network, it might be useful to compare load characteristics since 8/19 for nodes with different types of flags. People with Munin setups: it would be especially useful if you could post links/graph images for connection counts, bandwidth, and CPU load since 8/19. I'm particularly interested if people with just the Exit flag (w/o Guard) are seeing increased connection counts that aren't explained by uptime or ramp-up. So far the only datapoint I have for this is https://www.torservers.net/munin/torservers.net/psilotorlu.torservers.net/i… but it looks like that node just rebooted and possibly rekeyed, so it's connection increase could just be due to that. It would also be interesting to see if Guard+Exits are seeing a greater increase in connection counts than just Guards. I'm also wondering if any aspects of the load has any other relation to node flags. -- Mike Perry

new relays
by a432511 31 Aug '13

Hello all, I just spun up 2 relays (1 exit, 1 non-exit) in Amsterdam using DigitalOcean as the VPS provider. It's been up for about 8 hours now. Here was the message I sent to them regarding the servers: /* Quote Hello, I just spun up a couple servers in Amsterdam to act as relays in the Tor network (see https://www.torproject.org/about/overview.html.en). I just wanted to file this ticket so that you were aware of those servers' purpose. One is simply a non-exit relay meaning that all traffic is encrypted and ultimately routed to another tor server before it connects to the destination IP (no risk there). The other is an exit relay that establishes the final connection for the client. This box has a bit more risk because it's IP will be used for the connection. Now, according to law, the exit relay cannot be held responsible for the traffic because it is merely a pass-through server with no knowledge of the traffic - much like any ISP - but there hasn't been a firm legal precedent set yet to my knowledge. The purpose of the Tor server is to facilitate internet traffic for those that might be subject to laws that censor legitimate content (China, North Korea, Iran, etc...). It also acts as a safety net for the press so that they cannot be easily tracked when working on dangerous assignments. I read a couple other forum posts regarding your TOC and saw that you pass the liability on to the customer because you don't have control over what each droplet is used for. This is in essence the exact same case with a Tor relay. I have configured my exit relay to block a large number of ports that are typically used for torrents to reduce the possibility of any complaints. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Adam End Quote */ And here is there response: /* Quote Hello, While TOR exit-nodes are allowed under our TOS we strong discourage them because of the abuse complaints they generate. As you mentioned, you are responsible for any traffic generated by your droplets. While in the future there may be a precedent that grants safe-harbor status to TOR exit nodes, there is no such precedent under US Law at this time and the responsibility remains with you. You will be responsible to resolve any abuse complaints lodged against you related to this droplet. If we can be of any further assistance please let us know. Thanks Ryan Posted on 08/22/13 at 13:49 Gravatar Ryan Quinn End Quote */ I am based out of the US. Is there anything I should be careful with hosting an offshore Tor exit node? I already used the limited tor port list that was in the wiki. The other thing that I am weighing is just a moral question regarding misuse of the Tor network for despicable things like child porn. I understand that of all the traffic it is a small percentage and that ISPs essentially face the same dilemma, but I wonder if more can be done to make Tor resistant to evil usage. Thanks.

How to reset AccountingMax stats?
by Steve Snyder 31 Aug '13

31 Aug '13

My relay has become convinced that it has reached its AccountingMax limit, though actually only 71% of it (according to my ISP) has been used. How can I reset the stats so that this miscalculation is not used for future configuration of expected network traffic? Yes, I know I can just erase /var/lib/tor, but that means starting from a new identity. I'm hoping that I can edit the state file to clear the stats. Advice? Thanks.

Re: [tor-relays] A bit more evidence on circuit creation storms

I added a second core to my server and it's still getting "Your computer is too slow..." error messages. Top shows cpu for the Tor process hanging around 60-75%, which is where it was before. Top's system total is hanging around "Cpu(s) 25.9%". That plus the VM manager's graph suggest that the server's not doing much with the second core. Also see a repeat of the odd log message with the 154.x net address someone else described with the huge hexidecimal string (40 hex chars, + sign, 40 more, on and on).
