Dear list, The last days on this list were stunning, to say the least. I'm going to unsubscribe today and i will decide tomorrow if i shut down all my relays. -- Sincerely yours / M.f.G. / Sincères salutations Sebastian Urbach

My tool I made which makes running relays on Windows very simple.
by Keifer Bly 28 Mar '21

Hi all, So this is a tool I developed for tor which makes running relays on Windows very simple. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpk6yvUWQqU Features: Example torrc file which can be configured as wanted. Automatically checks if tor is running the newest version on startup, if not updates to newest version. One button configuration to configure relay to start when Windows starts. Generates a tor log file which can tell tor messages. Drawbacks: Only supports vanilla bridges. Configures Windows Defender Firewall automatically to allow tor traffic, but other firewalls will need to be manually configured. Cheers. --Keifer

Reminder: EOL of my 4 tor relays (2 guards, 2 exits).

Hello people, Lisa here (not my real name, neither is this my e-mail address - it was not stolen however, the owner allows me to use it -, nor is it associated with any of my relays that you could possibly find on the Tor Metrics page). I used to contribute physical resources to the Tor project for a long time now (I don't want to get into too many details, so let's say somewhere between 4 to 7 years) - paying for the co-location of two high-performance dedicated machines , handling nasty abuse reports, you name it.. Anyway each dedicated server was running two Tor instances occccn each single, public IPv4 and IPv6m as this is the maximum AES hardware acceleration was supported by both physical CPU's, so one instance averaged up to 250mbit/s under full load :-D However, I am sick of all the needless communication with my hosting providers, who are well aware of what I am doing with their equipment, yet idiotic jewbie support still spams me with abuse reports, occasionally null-routing entire IP's which was not part of the conract (I have a custom contract co-locating two, older machines).. I am also sick of the Tor staff allowing companies like Team Cymru (short explanation; Team Cymru collects and sells metadata of network connections but not only metadata, also other "valuable" information like zero-day exploits to anyone willing to pay the right price, and much more - they host a bunch of Tor relays and ridges too, which in my opinion should all get the BadExit / similar flag preventing them from being used at all. Tor code development also moves at a snails pace, we still don't have proper patches for circuit exhaustion attack, comparable to HTTP SlowLoris. I will hereby distance myself from the tor project completely, and not come back ever. Please get your shit together @TneTorProject. "Lisa"

In the spirit of cancel culture, I will be increasing my exit and guard relay traffic from 100mbps unthrottled pipes to 240. If we are to scrutinize the past actions of every great inventor, thinker, and innovator while disregarding achievements based on personal demerits then there would be no technological advancement. My belief in the mission and purpose still stands. It's about being apart of something bigger than myself or any specific individual regardless of opinion. THAT my friends, should be the consensus weight (pun intended).

BTW, a message I posted a couple of weeks ago got no responses, so I will ask the most important question again here. What are the new requirements for an HSDir flag? Before last fall, a minimum of 96 or 97 hours of uptime was the only requirements for a relay to be assigned the HSDir flag, but that is clearly not all that is necessary now. Scott Bennett, Comm.

Possibly of note, our firewall does not use connection tracking and applies the same rules as our exit relays which use the same ports. Pro-active note: The bridge shares the same 23.129.64.0/24 subnet as Emerald Onion's Tor exit relays, so there is no risk of a user entering and exiting our physical network (see "2.2. Path selection and constraints"): https://github.com/torproject/torspec/blob/master/path-spec.txt Cheers, -- Christopher Sheats Executive Director for Emerald Onion Email: yawnbox(a)emeraldonion.org Phone: +1 206-739-3390 Web: https://emeraldonion.org/

Tor project helping to attempt to cancel Richard Stallman
by Jeffrey Cliff 26 Mar '21

26 Mar '21

I've been running a relay/exit node for many years. Tor user since ~2004. To the extent that my voice means anything at all here, I would like to strongly condemn the Tor project joining the attempt to cancel Richard Stallman. Stallman represents software freedom to me generally and as of today I will be shutting down my exit node in protest of this action by the Tor Project. I hope the rest of you out there, who depend every day on GNU project code which would not exist without RMS's project, might consider joining me. Jeff Cliff former tor exit node admin

Active MetricsPort logs "Address already in use"
by Alexander Dietrich 25 Mar '21

25 Mar '21

Hello, when I activate the "MetricsPort" feature, the Tor log reports that it is going to open the port, then it says "Address already in use". According to "netstat", the address is indeed in use, but by "tor". Sending GET requests to the address returns empty responses. Any ideas? Kind regards, Alexander -- PGP Key: https://dietrich.cx/pgp | 0x52FA4EE1722D54EB

Tor 0.4.5.6 and missing IPv6
by Marco Predicatori 25 Mar '21

25 Mar '21

Hi, I've recently upgraded to Tor 0.4.5.6. Everything seems to work fine, but in the notices_log file I have a lot of these lines: [notice] Unable to find IPv6 address for ORPort 9001. You might want to specify IPv6Only to it or set an explicit address or set Address. I don't have IPv6, and any line mentioning IPv6 in the torrc file is commented. Is there anythng I need to do in order to get rid of those notices, or can I just let them be? Thanks, Marco -- https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/A4E74410D83705EEFF24BC265DE2…
