Relay metrics - chart never populates
by marsbanks 27 Feb '21

27 Feb '21

Does anyone know why I never see any data in the chart showing the number of clients using my bridge over time? https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/A675511F2F8EDD6974C3C093B8F3… I'm just concerned I haven't configured something correctly. Thanks. Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.

current requirements for Fast and HSDir flags
by Scott Bennett 26 Feb '21

26 Feb '21

What are the current requirements to get an HSDir flag assigned to a relay? MYCROFTsOtherChild has, at last heartbeat message, been up for 35 days and 7 hours. To the best of my knowledge, it has not had an HSDir flag in the consensus at any time since it was last started more than a month ago. What are the current requirements to get a Fast flag assigned to a relay? MYCROFTsOtherChild often runs busily at 330 KB/s to 350 KB/s. Sometimes since it was last started over a month ago it has had a Fast flag in the consensus, and at other times it has not. The Fast flag seems to come and go like the wayward breezes. The Bandwidth= value in the consensus entry for MYCROFTsOtherChild has varied from somewhere in the 30s to the 110s, AFAI have seen, but is always subject to the delayed effects of the presence or absence of the Fast flag, of course, and prior to the currently running instance has also been subject to the presence or absence of the HSDir flag. The authorities have seemed to be acting more or less at random when assigning flags for the consensus for many months. Does the tor project envision any timeline for a return to rational, predictable behavior on the part of the authorities? Scott Bennett, Comm.

Re: [tor-relays] IPv6

Thinking of IPv6: How far has the team got in implementing IPv6 only OR port facility ? Currently you can only run tor relay of any sort if there is open IPv4 OR port to the internet. This is getting a bit quaint. I am sure I am not alone in having much wasted bandwidth that could be put to good Tor use but they are only accessible via IPv6, while they can exit of course IPv4 and IPv6 I realise that so far, despite IPv6 being open on my main exit for some years, there is still little IPv6 traffic, but that might suddenly change. Gerry From: tor-relays <tor-relays-bounces(a)lists.torproject.org> On Behalf Of Onion Operator Sent: 24 February 2021 10:08 To: tor-relays(a)lists.torproject.org Subject: [tor-relays] IPv6 auto-discovery vs. privacy extensions Saluton, My relay started to log this message since 0.4.5.5: Auto-discovered IPv6 address [...]:443 has not been found reachable. However, IPv4 address is reachable. Publishing server descriptor without IPv6 address. [2 similar message(s) suppressed in last 2400 seconds] I think it started with the introduction of IPv6 auto-discovery. The problem, as I understand it, is that my relay has IPv6 privacy extensions enabled and therefore the IPv6 detection logic gets fooled. Indeed the IPv6 I see in the logs is one of the temporary addresses used as client towards other relays. Relevant config is: ORPort 443 IPv4Only ORPort [...]:443 IPv6Only I added the IPv{4,6}Only options only in searching a solution to this problem, before 0.4.5.5 the IPv6 relay worked perfectly without. In reading the documentation of AddressDisableIPv6 I got the impression that if (any?) ORPort is configured with IPv4Only the IPv6 auto-discovery gets disabled but evidence does not support my understanding. Is it a bug? Any other way to disable IPv6 auto-discovery? -- flev

Stable flag and client load
by enrollado 22 Feb '21

22 Feb '21

I am running a bridge, realseven, fingerprint 10B5293C71793DC1E56A5B17434C0539F70FBB38. It's been up for 71 days and has yet to get the stable flag or more than 3 or 4 connected clients. Is there something misconfigured? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ No me preguntas nada, no te diré una mentira. Enrollado Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email.

relayor v21.0.0 is released
by nusenu 20 Feb '21

20 Feb '21

Hi, relayor v21.0.0 is released. relayor is an ansible [1] role that helps you with running tor relays with minimal effort (automate everything). https://github.com/nusenu/ansible-relayor [1] https://www.ansible.com/ This version contains a bugfix: * the GPG key for deb.torproject.org expired and we shipped the expired version, we now fetch the public key directly from torproject.org instead of shipping it with the ansible role. The relayor signing key itself has also been updated: https://keys.openpgp.org/search?q=A7B5DB91CE04C9E0BE66446B8CBE52BD4D705DE9 https://github.com/nusenu/ansible-relayor/releases/tag/v21.0.0 kind regards, nusenu -- https://nusenu.github.io

TOR Exit Relay Bandwidth Drop
by pimpnet 19 Feb '21

19 Feb '21

I run a fast tor exit relay. It goes to 100MB/s easy after a few days but every 2 weeks something happens (no hardware/network issue on this node locally) and the tor bandwidth drops down to 1-2MB/s. Then I have to stop the tor service and start it again after a couple mins. Most of the times, I am not aware this has happened and the exit relay then takes 10 days to start pumping full bandwidth again The server runs Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Seeking advice from some big brains here, thanks.
