-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hello, This isn't new, and it happens with any DNS resolver (ISP resolver, Google or OpenDNS, custom DNS resolver on localhost running unbound or bind, etc.). I have experienced it on all the exits I ever run, it's the most common warning. There's a ticket for it opened by me: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/11600 When I opened the ticket, we thought it may be a libevent issue; that makes the nameserver look down while it is not, but see comment 6 in the linked ticket - that might be a cause also. In the mean time until we resolve this just keep the exit running with a localhost unbound or bind resolver and don't use Google or OpenDNS resolvers. It's best that an exit relay runs its own resolver. On 2/1/2016 5:46 AM, Tristan wrote:
After sending tor a HUP, I now have errors from OpenDNS and Google DNS servers. I opened a support ticket with the provider to find out how to use their provided nameservers. Looks like I just need to keep fiddling. At any rate, I'm still getting plenty of traffic, and the servers come back almost instantly, so it shouldn't be making too much of an impact.
Thanks for the help!

Well, my VPS nameservers are domain names, not IP addresses, so I can't use them directly. In the meantime, I added Open DNS to resolv.conf, but I still get errors from Google DNS. Do I need to reboot to apply changes to resolv.conf?
You likely need to send a HUP to tor to get it to re-read your DNS configuration.
Maybe Google DNS is not reliable from your location, so you could put another name server first? Or perhaps investigate resolving your VPS DNS manually, then using their IP addresses as well?

I'm not sure how many DNS servers are configured because I never configured them. I just installed Tor and edited the torrc file with my port, exit policy, and bandwidth options. Where would I add/configure DNS servers?
Typically, by editing /etc/resolv.conf. But some platforms automatically generate it using the files in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/
It should be fairly straightforward, if not, search the Internet for a HOWTO for your platform.
