Wildly Different BandWidth Numbers
by Eddie 03 Feb '21

03 Feb '21

Looking at the consensus health page for my relay D195E5CE8AE77BAC91673E6CFB7BD0AF57281646), I see wildly different values for bandwidth: bw=3060 bw=910 bw=340 bw=620 bw=5130 Why is there such a discrepancy. I'm guessing this has something to do with my relay bouncing in and out of Guard status on a regular basis (which I'm sure can't be a good thing). Is there anything I can do to maintain a consistent value, be it at one end of the scale or the other. Cheers.

Tor Version "Not Recommended" - V 4.2.7 - Raspberry PI - "armhf" not supported
by petrarca＠protonmail.ch 02 Feb '21

02 Feb '21

I noticed that my Relay got a "Not Recommended" Flag. It's running on version 4.2.7 currently. I checked a few things and this is poping up with a apt update on the Raspberry: N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-armhf/Packages' as repository 'http://sdscoq7snqtznauu.onion/torproject.org buster InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'armhf' Did I do something wrong; any recommendations on how to fix this issue? Many thanks!

Re: [tor-relays] Noob query, wish to run a bridge relay for tor community.
by ramesh bhootra 27 Jan '21

27 Jan '21

Hi, I have been using Tor since a decade, always had limited resources and couldn't give back anything to the community. Now I wish to run relays in an effort to give back something. Right now I have a 100 mbps reliable internet connection on a gaming laptop with windows 10 "HP Envy K204tx", I disabled windows updates, and a good quality ethernet cable. Even though it's a laptop, I use it like a desktop, with hdmi out to a TV, ethernet cable, usb hubs and 24x7 electricity with lots of … [View More]

build tor out of source -> permission problems?
by Patrice Bönig 27 Jan '21

27 Jan '21

Hi @ list, I am operating a relay for several years and I really do like it and will do it for more years. My current relay residents on Pi 4. At first I installed it via apt but now the 32 Bit sources are no longer available. So I thought I could build the from source. The building process went well but now I have a problem with the user permissions. I can't get tor really running. _My first attempt was:_ To start tor with "systemctl start tor". But tor won't start and " journalctl -… [View More]

Server lost Stable flag but has more than 60 days uptime
by raltullou＠posteo.org 26 Jan '21

26 Jan '21

Hello list, I'm trying to find out why the server (https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/11DF0017A43AF1F08825CD5D9732…) has lost its stable flag. As far as I can see it is running a recent version of tor and has an uptime of over 60 days. Are there other reasons that factor into the Stable flag? The log file doesn't give my an indication that there is anything wrong, either. Any ideas?

Server under attack according to my hoster
by lists.torproject.org＠stein-io.de 22 Jan '21

22 Jan '21

Hi folks, I have a dedicated Server running with the red H in Germany. https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/1CD48F4ED0F1821FFBF1940802A1… Today I received a notification that my server is "under attack" since my server got over the threshold of 300k packets/s. At the time of the mail it seems to be about 450k pps . I checked a couple of IPs and most of them are other TOR-Relays or Exits. Would you recommend telling my Hoster that everything is all fine? Cheers
