I used to run a couple of relays on their DEV1-S instances and never had any problems. They let you use the advertised bandwidth 24/7 without being throttled. ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ On Wednesday, March 31, 2021 8:26 AM, <tor-relays-request(a)lists.torproject.org> wrote: > Send tor-relays mailing list submissions to > tor-relays(a)lists.torproject.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > tor-relays-request(a)lists.torproject.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > tor-relays-owner(a)lists.torproject.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of tor-relays digest..." > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Recent Postings

Hello fellow Tor Relay operators! Recent activity on this mailing list has given me a headache... Let me explain. I subscribed to this mailing list to keep up to speed with new technical developments, trouble shooting advice and security advisories. If there is a mailing list that covers this criteria, please let me know because that is where I want to be. This recent 'noise' about Mr Stallman is, in my opinion, unnecessary and unwarranted on this particular mailing list. It reminds me of a similar episode on this mailing list a while back where someone appeared to have a personal problem with someone who ran a hosting company - I nearly wrote something about that. My relay has been chugging away at home for many years and bandwidth assigned to the network has steadily increased as my home broadband capability has improved. I am happy that it contributes to Tor and might help people in genuine need - be it politically, racially, sexual orientation wise or as a whistle blower. Finally, I would like to thank the poster who highlighted the OpenSSL vulnerability - my relay was promptly updated. To quote someone else and because I like this persons' sigh-off: With respect, Rattus Norvegicus Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.

This past week's most active discussion has forced my hand
by Isaac Grover, Aileron I.T. 30 Mar '21

30 Mar '21

Good morning from Wisconsin, Back in 2019, I was involved in a discussion on this list to seek out hosting providers friendly to Tor exit nodes so that the list on the Tor Project website could be updated and geographic and provider diversity could be improved. Because our twins were newborns at the time, the project took a back burner but I had built up the initial automation and templates for the contacts. Would there be any interest in reviving this project for the aforementioned reasons? Make your day great, Isaac Grover, Senior I.T.

Tor [0.4.5.7] {Bridge} IPv4 not found
by Someone 30 Mar '21

30 Mar '21

Hey, I'm running Tor [0.4.5.7] on Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS and started running my first bridge following the exact tutorials on the community guide for running bridge. However, the syslog says(resulting in non-reachability of the port.): Tor[6278]: Unable to find IPv4 address for ORPort 11120. You might want to specify IPv6Only to it or set an explicit address or set Address. Here's my torrc conf: BridgeRelay 1 ORPort 11120 IPv4Only ServerTransportPlugin obfs4 exec /usr/bin/obfs4proxy ServerTransportListenAddr obfs4 0.0.0.0:356 IPv4Only ExtORPort auto ContactInfo __REDACTED_FOR_PRIVACY__ Nickname dubridge Steps done: Saw the router configuration (IPv6 disabled in there). Thought maybe some issue with dynamic/static IP so configured DHCP ADDRESS RESERVATION to get a static IP. Followed a similar thread on this topic by a guy recently so wrote IPv4Only in front of both ORPort and obfs4 Thanks! Someone

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

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).
by Lisa Winter 28 Mar '21

28 Mar '21

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).
