AROI Using proof:dns-rsa Not Getting Verified
Hi there, I am trying to setup AROI for my exit relays following the guide here: https://nusenu.github.io/OrNetStats/aroi-setup I am using the DNS TXT records option. I already waited for more than 1 day; however, it seems like it's not getting verified for some reason. Here is the link on OrNetStats to my relay family. https://nusenu.github.io/OrNetStats/w/family/fb5e3cc1855a01ef74fc0843f63e3da... Relay Fingerprints: 2B51193205D091CC80B904D65721FF8DCBE51C96 61137FAC08E0AE62165D18FE8855CCCA26B6D631 Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You might have to wait for another couple of days, as the page is only refreshed about once per month. The last time it was refreshed was 2025-10-24 14:00 UTC (https://nusenu.github.io/OrNetStats/). Cheers.
Hello, my2c: from the FAQ's: "Q: Do I need a (DNSSEC-signed) domain to setup my AROI?" "No, a (DNSSEC-signed) domain is optional. You can serve a text file via HTTPS instead, but if you want to use the DNS TXT records option, your domain must be DNSSEC-signed" So i think you need the dnssec to be enabled to be validated. also... in the troubleshooting section: "The most common AROI verification error root cause: The operator uses Cloudflare and Cloudflare blocks the automated download of the text file. This can be solved by configuring Cloudflare to allow these automated fetches." Il 20/11/2025 12:55, algo7 via tor-relays ha scritto:

Hi, thanks for properly setting up your AROI, looks like your proofs got verified successfully. here is your page: https://nusenu.github.io/OrNetStats/thealgorithms.net.html Thanks for running relays since 2019 kind regards, nusenu -- https://nusenu.github.io
We saw this same issue at 1AEO — AROI updates were very slow to verify (sometimes up to a month), and finding the exact problem took even longer. There was no simple, transparent way to see why a relay was not verifying. Running a Tor relay can be complex, especially for new operators, so we wanted to make this easier. To help, we built, open-sourced, and are now hosting a tool that checks AROI verification every hour: https://aroivalidator.1aeo.com The tool tests both TXT and URI methods, compares them with each relay’s descriptor, and shows when values are missing or mismatched. Operators can use it in two ways: • Batch mode for quick command-line checks • Self-hosted GUI for easier viewing Everything is fully open source for transparency and control: • aroivalidator — the verification tool: https://github.com/1aeo/aroivalidator • aroivalidator-deploy — how to host your own service: https://github.com/1aeo/aroivalidator-deploy These tools give fast feedback, are easy to reproduce, and can be run locally. We hope they help other operators facing similar AROI verification challenges. On Friday, November 21st, 2025 at 2:45 AM, zwiebelrouter via tor-relays <tor-relays@lists.torproject.org> wrote:
