I made similar experiences with my ISP.
Therefore I run my new tor relay as non-exit for 3-4 weeks and opened it then 
again w/ reduced exit policy.
That reduced drastically the DCMA spam b/c then the ip address was added to the 
usual firewall rule sets.

Here are some other providers.

They are both Tor friendly, but as always be sure to communicate to them
that you plan to run Reduced Exit policies *before* you purchase, and
make sure to tell them you are a pro-active user that responds to every
complaint in a courteous manner.

https://www.opticservers.com/
https://www.pulseservers.com/

I haven't had a single problem with either of them. And their tech
support... sometimes answers in < 5 minutes. Great people.

Both are "unmetered".
During speed tests, I average 8.8-10.3 MByte/s on 1000MByte file.

Optic is UK based and I believe Pulse is Canadian.
Optic is custom. Pulse is OVH.

Enjoy.

[tor-relays] Hivelocity is not longer serving my needs.

2015-05-11 Thread Geo Rift
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA256

I've had my exit relay running on a spare Hivelocity server that I had
for 17 days now. Even after a reduced exit policy I continued to
receive abuse reports. They have now asked that I stop running a tor
relay on the server.

I'm looking for a decent provider that can suit my needs of running a
fast exit node. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks,
Tim

Hi,

This is a known problem; the bandwidth authorities need to be worked on.
See for example

There's no timeline set yet on when this will be fixed.

There you can find 874 relays with the „flag“ "Bandwidth=20 Unmeasured=1“…
I don’t think this is normal…
Can anybody have a look at this?!

I stuck to Consensus Weight: 20 since over one week. If I look at the

Any Ideas how to fix this? Is this the normal and wanted behavior?

hey,

can you do me a favor and remove the exit status of your relay and turn it into 
a regular node? I experienced the same problem as you:

https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/3D7E274A87D9A89AF064C13D1EE4CA1F184F2600

but ever since I removed the exit-flag I am generating some consensus rating 
again. This problem first popped during the last days of 2014 and up until now 
there hasn't been any reliable fix. Apparently even deleting the ID of your 
tor-node didn't help according to one user.

Hi,

running from a FreeBSD server at my house on with a 5 megabit upstream
connection.
I have seen that lately, Tor's "Consensus Weight" value on this relay has
not been going anywhere above (or below) 20. My relay has gotten the
"Stable" flag, but yet didn't see it's consensus weight value rise.
I decided to look at https://consensus-health.torproject.org/, and saw
that two of the four bandwidth consensus servers, namely tor26
(86.59.21.38) and longclaw (199.254.238.52) don't seem to be calculating
any consensus value for Tor relays in the last few days.
Has anyone else been having this problem? And if the Tor consensus
operators are reading this, (approximately) when would this problem get
resolved?
Thanks,

If you use "AccountingMax 3TB" and "AccountingStart month 1 00:00" (or whenever 
your rollover date is), the relay will go at full speed, use all the quota you 
specify, then hibernate for the rest of the month.
The next month, it will calculate the maximum start date that it could start at 
to use all the bandwidth at a similar rate to last month, then wake at a random 
interval between the start of the month and the calculated date.
Note that the AccountingMax quota will make the relay hibernate when either the 
download or the upload individually hit the quota. If you want the sum of both, 
use "AccountingRule sum".

If you use RelayBandwidthRate, the relay will go at partial speed, and may not 
use all the quota if there are any quiet periods.

Personally, I'd rather have faster relays for part of the month, but others 
favour stable relays for the entire month.

It may also depend on whether your relay is one or more of:
* a guard, where stability would be a priority,
* a middle (that is, not guard or exit), where there is plenty of bandwidth, 
and therefore speed would be a priority, and/or
* an exit, where speed would again be a priority…
as far as I can work it out, anyway.

Both stable relays and fast relays are a valuable contribution,  please 
contribute what you think the Tor network needs most.
