Re: BIND down, weird IPs pop up on tor.log

2010-03-27 Thread Marco Predicatori
Thanks downie!

Briefly, I've found out that I have the weird IPs in the tor log
each time BIND has some temporary failure. This started happening
when I moved BIND to another pc in my LAN. It never happened when
BIND was running on the same pc as Tor.

 I assume you have a fixed IP and an Address line in your torrc?

I have this line:
Address something.dyndns.org

When my IP really changes, I can see correct entries in the log. The
problem doesn't seem correlated to my real IP changes.

 Would restarting BIND make Tor try to guess its IP? In that case
 you could have triggered the bug in 0.2.1.23/24 which gave some
 of us with dynamic IPs severe problems - the IP guessed was
 random contents of memory changing every few seconds. It's fixed
 in 0.2.1.25

I'm still running 0.2.1.24.
Have I missed it, or there's been no announcement going around for
.25? I can see it now at
http://www.torproject.org/dist/tor-0.2.1.25.tar.gz

BIND down, weird IPs pop up on tor.log

2010-03-23 Thread Marco Predicatori
Hi, something really weird has happened to my tor node.
I was restarting BIND, wich serves as dns in my LAN, on another machine.

Around the same time I found these two lines in /var/log/tor/tor.log:

Mar 22 10:29:18.806 [notice] Your IP address seems to have changed
to 182.219.88.104. Updating.
Mar 22 10:29:18.832 [notice] Your IP address seems to have changed
to 182.219.55.216. Updating.

I wonder where these IPs came from, and how this could be related to
BIND being down at the very moment.

$whois says that those are IPs from Down Under, but I'm almost
exactly at the other side of the world. Moreover, I can't see any
line later on saying that I went back to my real IP.

Everything seems to be working normally.

Thanks a lot.

Just a thought - others know the workings better.
