Hi Martin,
Martin Gebhardt:
- can someone explain to me how the fingerprint of a Family is
created?
The configuration on a tor relay lists all relay fingerprints with which the relay is in a MyFamily (and optionally itself), but there is no "MyFamily fingerprint" - there are just relay fingerprints.
For example, I have 7 exit relays in a Family, and can't remember how that came about.
You probably have a MyFamily line on each of your relays.
- to simplify the torrc, would it
not be advantageous to enter in "MyFamily" not all fingerprints, but only that of the Family as such? Are there already suggestions for this with the developers?
A new MyFamily design is in the works, which will be easier to configure for operators https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-relays/2021-November/019954.html
Like with AROI from nusenu.
To avoid misunderstandings: An AROI is not a MyFamily replacement.
I have configured a bridge and I know that it is also possible to restrict exits. For example via the country code. I have also done that successfully, but: 2. 1. I don't manage to configure a bridge _and_ a fixed exit.
That is more a tor client configuration question, but you can show your torrc configuration so people can point out potential issues (maybe on the tor-talk mailing list - if one can still post to it)
kind regards, nusenu
