University Exit Node Success Stories
by Patrick R McDonald 27 Jan '13

27 Jan '13

All, I am working with various PoC for US universities in an attempt to get them to run fast exit relays. While I am making progress on the universities running a Tor node, most are very hesitant to run an exit node. From several, I received the impression that this was the result of not wanting to be first. To counteract this fear, I am hoping this list can provide some success stories for the above scenario to provide the universities. Looking forward to receiving your feedback, Patrick

[warn] Tried to establish rendezvous on non-OR or non-edge circuit.
by Samuel Walker 27 Jan '13

27 Jan '13

Hi, I've started receiving this message on my relay (non-exit, non-hidden-serivce) > [warn] Tried to establish rendezvous on non-OR or non-edge circuit. I've had a look in the bug tracker, and it looks like it was previously noted under 4171, with the cause being 4641. Both now fixed. Should I be concerned over this? Many Thanks

Can I enable IPv6?
by cmeclax 26 Jan '13

26 Jan '13

I just upgraded to version 0.2.3.25 from the latest pkgsrc quarterly, and I have an IPv6 address. Can I tell other relays that they can connect to me on IPv6? The port number will be different, as I'm forwarding one port on the router to a different port on the Tor box. cmeclax

Hi all, I am wondering why my TOR server "mouseHouse" is not used more? I configured 40k and 60k burst, buts its only barely used. Any hints? Thank you.

running relay severely degrades network performance eventually
by Nicolas Bock 22 Jan '13

22 Jan '13

Hello list, every time I run a relay on a Comcast cable connection, after a while (a few hours to days) other network operations such as DNS lookups slow down to such an extent that the network becomes unusable. Unfortunately I don't know how to exactly pinpoint what the problem is, but found that the only reliable solution at such a point seems to be to reset the cable modem. Is that a known issue? Could you suggest how I can diagnose this more accurately? Thanks, nick

Exit relaying: What regulations exist in your country?
by Moritz Bartl 20 Jan '13

20 Jan '13

Hi, I have revised https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TorExitGuidelines some more, adding the most relevant legal paragraphs for Germany and USA. What are the exact regulations in your country? If you know which sections, paragraphs etc, add it to the wiki or let me know. -- Moritz Bartl https://www.torservers.net/

DigitalOcean, cheap VPS that's ok with middle relays
by Micah Lee 14 Jan '13

14 Jan '13

FYI, I just discovered a VPS provider DigitalOcean, and they seem fine with people running non-exit nodes: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/tor The cheapest plan is $5/month (256mb ram, 1 core, 20gb drive) with unlimited bandwidth. They give you New York and Amsterdam IP addresses. I haven't tried running a relay on it so I don't know how much bandwidth you can practically use, but it looks promising. -- Micah Lee https://twitter.com/micahflee

What's wrong with TorStatus?
by Steve Snyder 12 Jan '13

12 Jan '13

The TorStatus pages at rueckgr.at and all.de have stopped reflecting the actual state of the Tor relays. The page at rueckgr.at displays uptime as the length of time between 04 Jan and now, regardless of the actual history of the relays. The page at all.de is even worse, calculating uptime as the days since 06 Dec 2012. The former shows no less than uptime of 6 days and the latter shows every relay as having 35+ days of uptime. The page at blutmagie.de has an accurate representation of relay uptimes, but their bandwidth stats are always inaccurate, so there really is no single TorStatus page that one can look at to get an accurate view of Tor relays. What's going on with TorStatus?

Hello guys. Is is possible to choose one's Entry Guards?
by Coyo 11 Jan '13

11 Jan '13

I didn't realize the TOR Project had their own mailing list server, though it makes sense. I'm studying tor relays, especially obfsproxy, and I thought I'd go ahead and ask a question. If you have a hidden service, and hide that on Server A, then have it connect via obfsproxy to Relay B, can you configure a manually-chosen list of entry guard relays to enter the wider Tor Network from Relay B? [Hidden Server] -- obfsproxy --> [Bridge Relay] -- tor --> [Specific Trusted Entry Guard Relays] -- tor --> [TOR Network] Is this currently possible?
