Re: vidalia can't create the circuit.

2010-01-24 Thread 代尔欣
My problem:
I use the vidalia connect the network. My tor version is 0.2.1.21.  I can't
create the circuit. The vidalia stop at "Loading relay information". From
the log, it show a lot of below messages:
Notice  I learned some more directory information, but not enough to build a
circuit: We have no network-status consensus.

After a long wait..

The log show:
Notice Your system clock just jumped 421 seconds forward; assuming
established circuits no longer work.

I already select the "My ISP blocks connections to the Tor network" and
input the bridge got from brid...@torproject.org.

Tor need any special linux kernel config?

The problem occur on my arm based embedded system(I build the kernel and
image myself. Also compile tor source codes for it.). I am sure the network
connection is no problem because the vidalia can work perfectly on my
PC(ubuntu 9.04).

I'm very glad to provide any further information.

Re: AW: tor exit-node abused, takedown by ISP,

2010-01-24 Thread Robert Marquardt
In fact most IPSs classify DMCA notices as abuse and if you do not respond they 
will probably disconnect your machine.

Another fact is that the mass of DMCA notices the copyright enforcement 
companies send to the ISPs could lead to a cancelation of your contract cause 
of the mass of "abuse". 

Or lead the ISPs to ideas like to charge extra per DMCA notice or complaint.

I understand your point, but i dont believe the main use of Pidgin users
routed through TOR
is non-anonymous and will want to retain logs.

Is this format better? I'll get teh hang of it.

I'm running a fully patched Mac OS X 10.5 machine and I'm getting the "TLS 
Error: unexpected close..." message from TOR.

I've tried both the current stable easy-bundle (vidalia-bundle-0.2.1.22-0.2.6) 
& the experimental version (vidalia-bundle-0.2.2.7-alpha-0.2.6) Both give the 
same error.

I understand that this is due to the SSL renegotiation bug/fix. Is there any

When you know that Pidgin is storing passwords as cleartext, your first
reflex must be to store Tor-bundle on an encrypted storage device.
Logging history is secondary compared to clear passwords.

Right. W/o OTR or something like that, you might have anonymity, but at
the prize of being more easily attacked at malicious exit nodes.

But even then, people really *needing* privacy must think for themselves
anyway. Other default settings may still not be taken as a sign that things
are already safe. And one must always be very conscious about one's
behavior. What does turning logging off help if one conveys information

People who are really paranoid should check their things anyway.

Either log to a crypto partition or disable logging. Or if the aim of

Hi guys,

I was wondering why the default settings in Pidgin in the TOR-IM-Browser is
set to* log chats and private messages*. I think this is quite contrary to
the main purpose of TOR, which is anonymity, as it may very well be
compromised if the if the USB, etc, falls into the other people's hands.
Also, i dont think most people go into into the settings to change them, as
they feel the setting are already optimized by the crew.

If I understand Olaf in the right way, he wants to say: "What the hell does 
your ISP take care about DMCA requests within germany? DMCA is NOT german law. 
They dont have to care about such requests at all and shall send them to 
/dev/null. If they waste their time and take care of such requests it is their 
decision and cant make you responsible for this."

If I understand Olaf right he might have the opinion you should refuse to pay 
that. Anyway, you should try to speak with someone of their staff directly to 
clear that incident.

There is a german "Verein" of tor node admins, the German Privacy Foundation. 
Hereby you are invited to join, see www.privacyfoundation.de.
