Hello all. I started an exit relay on Saturday. Last night I took a look at the log and I saw something like 30 active circuits at the heartbeat and the relay had passed a few tens of megabytes. I just logged in and saw 8,000 active circuits at the heartbeat and > 2 GB passed. Is it normal for an exit relay to suddenly ramp up like that? Just curious. Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email.

Authorithy clock skew in consensus health page
by torjoy 16 Dec '20

16 Dec '20

Hi all, Its just a curiosity question... What is the reference source used in comparsions of authorities clock skew in consensus health? Are they synced throught NTP daemons (like chrony or opentpd for example)? TOR can take advange of very accurate timing in the authorities and relays? I know that just few seconds (or miliseconds?) are fine of clock offset. And if the relay's clock has some fluctuation of hundreds of miliseconds? For example going from -100mS of offset to +300mS offset and … [View More]

Question: RAM requirement for an exit relay
by Olaf Grimm 15 Dec '20

15 Dec '20

Hello! I would like to activate a local DNS resolver with unbound at the exit relays, but I am concerned about the RAM size with 1GB. On an example machine I have 2GB RAM and the exit relay occupies 400MB at 22.9 MiB/s according to the metrics. Does anyone have experience with such values? My smaller exit relays only have 1GB of RAM. Well, there is still the problem that simply trying it out is not possible. If I overrun the RAM and it comes to SWAP activities, then already on a local … [View More]

No port IPv4 80 so not an called exit even when 443 open wide.
by Dr Gerard Bulger 14 Dec '20

14 Dec '20

It is now out of date that Tor servers are required to have port 80 IPv4 open, even if limited to a single Class A network in order that the relay can be labelled as an exit. Port 443 should be enough. For reasons I do not understand, if I open port IPv4 80 to a wider range I get abuse notices within a day, usually DMCA, as if some man in the middle is scanning the html! So far, wide open IPv6 port 80 attracts zero attention from those alleging abuse. http://example.com called as … [View More]

It's great. Great content here too: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Tor Where do you put the configuration file when running a network from real-time distro (tails) that does not allow /etc/tor/torrc modification?

My app which makes running tor relays on Windows Very Simple
by Keifer Bly 12 Dec '20

12 Dec '20

Hi all, So this is a software peice I have been developing which makes running tor relays on Windows very easy. All the user needs to do is write their torrc. The app installs tor, and configures all once the torrc is written by itself. Here is a video showing the app: Features Automatic Tor download and installation (via Choclatey) Type the torrc file, and the app configures and points tor there for you. Attempted automatic firewall configuration. Automatic creation of log file. Cons: … [View More]

reporting Abusive exit nodes
by BRBfGWMz 09 Dec '20

09 Dec '20

I frequently find abusive exit nodes. Is there any way to report these to the tor consensus system, so it deprioritizes them? Or can I build a configuration file or list of exit nodes that I don't want in my chain? \-- Sent using MsgSafe.io's Free Plan Private, encrypted, online communication For everyone. https://www.msgsafe.io

Shutdown of my exit relay
by Sarah Harvey 05 Dec '20

05 Dec '20

Hi folks, Through an error on my part, my exit relay got taken down (as12876.tor.shh.sh with fingerprint D7082DB97E7F0481CBF4B88CA5F5683399E196A3). I'm in the process of getting a replacement, but the fingerprint and IP will change as a result, and of course it will take time for it to regain consensus in the network. I believe I had also asked for it to be added to the fallback directory list since at the time it was high-traffic and stable. In this case I recommend removing it from this … [View More]
