Tor exit Spain
by potlatch 17 May '22

17 May '22

Hello Paul, I've run exit relays for 15-years. I put the first relay into Albania and followed with the first exit relay in Albania. I lost my two Albanian relays when the Ukraine conflict started. I currently have relays in Moldova (2), Romania, Finland (2), Chile, Estonia, Latvia, Bulgaria. Most are smaller than your server w/Consensus Weight around 8000. Further, I operate bridges in Kazahkstan (3), Finland and Albania. I would like to know a bit more before offering to take your server. Do you have good relationship with IONOS SE? What is physical machine compliment? etc.? I operate out of Seattle Washington and have good communications with the Tor office here. I am retired electrical engineer with time to help Tor and Electronic Frontier Foundation. Hope you find a good operator for your primo relay. I can be contacted directly at potlatch(a)proton.me Stay safe always,potlatch The imagination of nature is far, far greater than the imagination of man. --Richard Feynman Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com/) secure email.

Good evening, I'd like to ask: How would one go about encouraging an organization (such as a college, university or library), that they are affiliated with to some extent, to operate a Tor Exit Relay? I currently operate a Non-Exit relay at home, but I would like to also see if me and some others in my organization could start an exit relay as well (Our jurisdiction is the United Kingdom). Thank you for reading, allforprivacy operator.

OpenBSD -stable net/tor and 0.4.7.7
by George 10 May '22

10 May '22

The OpenBSD net/tor -current port is correctly on 0.4.7.7, but the -stable port is still on 0.4.6.10. I submitted a diff to update -stable port to 0.4.7.7 last week, but it has not been committed yet. https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&m=165179875418235&w=2 It's attached and should work fine. In order to update the OpenBSD -stable port you need an updated -stable 7.1 ports tree, then you apply the patch within the /usr/ports/net/tor port, and build from there. I can provide more guidance if necessary, but in order to not bore everyone else, maybe the Tor-BSD list is more appropriate? https://lists.nycbug.org:8443/mailman/listinfo/tor-bsd I can send out an amd64 -stable package, but then you'd have to trust me. g

Bridge not used
by Arnim Wiezer 10 May '22

10 May '22

Hi Tor-Operators, I have installed a bridge according to the official how-to. The config is as follows: Log notice file /var/log/tor/notices.log DataDirectory /var/lib/tor Address bridge.xxx.de BridgeRelay 1 ORPort 1044 ServerTransportPlugin obfs4 exec /usr/bin/obfs4proxy ServerTransportListenAddr obfs4 0.0.0.0:9043 ExtORPort auto ContactInfo arnimw(a)mailbox.org Nickname lunabridge PublishServerDescriptor 1 BridgeDistribution any Under https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/4DD98FB1959065309FD4A183530B… I see basically no usage, the logs are fine - as far as I can tell. Any help appreciated! Best, Arnim

Tor 0.4.7.7 Segmentation fault on Ubuntu 22.04 caused by "rseq"
by Xiaoqi Chen (Danny) 07 May '22

07 May '22

Dear relay operators, I recently upgraded one of my relays to Ubuntu 22.04 and now tor keeps crashing. I debugged a little bit and saw the following error in the log. It appears that it's due to seccomp not allowing "rseq" syscall, and possibly related to the latest version of Glibc. I temporarily mitigated the issue by turning off sandbox mode (remove "Sandbox 1" in torrc). Does anyone know how to properly resolve the crashing issue?

Relay Throttling
by sysmanager7 06 May '22

Hi Is there a tutorial on how to limit a relay's throughput?? There has to be! I did a search and came up empty. I'm trying to avoid shutting down my relay's due to financial burden Any help would be appreciated. Thank you! Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com/) secure email.

Hey, check your torrc, there is a RelayBandwidthRate setting (to limit speed) and also an AccountingMax setting to limit max traffic per month. -- MiranDaniel "---------- Původní zpráva ---------- Od: sysmanager7 via tor-relays <tor-relays(a)lists.torproject.org> Datum: 06.05.2022 14:16:35 Předmět: [tor-relays] Relay Throttling Hi Is there a tutorial on how to limit a relay's throughput??

Tor Exit: Complaints of IP being used for "spam" despite exit policy
by Neel Chauhan 05 May '22

05 May '22

Hi, A day or two ago, my Tor exit host, Psychz Networks, has sent me complaints about my IPs being used to send "spam" despite me having blocked Port 25 (and 465/587) in the exit policy. Psychz threatened to block Port 25 even when my exit policy explicitly blocks 25/465/587. The URLs I got were from Cisco Talos: * https://talosintelligence.com/reputation_center/lookup?search=104.149.136.2… * https://talosintelligence.com/reputation_center/lookup?search=104.149.133.5… Sometimes I think "is my FreeBSD exploited and being used to send spam", but then I also see Linux relays on other ISPs also on the blocklists. Yes, I am aware Tor exit relays will land on blacklists. But getting complaints from spam is new, especially when my relays are blocking SMTP. I am worried I would have to find a new host if they continue complaining. Darn, Psychz has been one of the more reliable exit hosts (on-and-off) for many years, although they are more vigilant on abuse than say BuyVM. BuyVM is similarly priced (although my Psychz is an special offer) and solid but has too many exits. OVH and TerraHost only allow exits on much more expensive dedicated servers. Prgmr and HostMaze allow exits but has so-so peering. I just hope Psychz doesn't continue to complain. -Neel
