[tor-relays] monitoring the relay : zabbix?

2016-10-10 Thread krishna e bera 
How do you monitor the tor relay server and the relay itself, on a 
remote box?
Zabbix seemed to have less overhead and simpler setup than nagios or 
icinga, so i started to set it up.

Then i saw the note on https://www.torservers.net/wiki/setup/zabbix
that they do not use it anymore, and i am wondering what is wrong with it.

I'm intrigued by this myself. Although Brass Horn Communications is a
British entity, and the best practice is for exit nodes to be run under
the aegis of *some* sort of corporate set-up (non-profit, shell company,
libraries, university IT departments, and what-have-you), I hadn't known
that a /pro forma/ ISP was even a thing, if indeed that's what we're
talking about here.

I think one should emphasize that relay operators shouldn't worry about
it since it's client(s) [hopefully not little-t-tor one(s)] who send
such cells. Thanks everybody reporting about this issue!

It would have to have been several tens of GB - nothing else running at
the time threw an error either. I'll try a HUP as suggested.

I'd also be very interested in learning more about setting up an ISP
for Tor. Is it a non-profit? How many man hours did it take (roughly)
to get the structure in place? How much money (roughly) did it take?
How much legal consultation did it require to setup?

Yes, once Tor has failed to write to its log file, that file descriptor
is essentially broken until you instruct Tor to try again. If you send
Tor a HUP signal, it will reset a bunch of things, including its logs.

I would assume that it really did run out of space, if only for that
moment.

That said, OSX10.4 is Tiger, right? The one that became unsupported
over seven years ago? (But let's not make this thread about whether it's
morally appropriate to run obsolete OSes -- except to acknowledge that
maybe it has bugs in it.)

Question is whether it was full (or out of quota) at the time
of these messages. MacOS has/had a habit of throwing a few GB on
the disk and then removing them again.

Hello and thanks for reporting this issue!

I opened a trac ticket about this, as that's a better way to handle
little-t-tor bugs. Please feel free to contribute there:
 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/20332

I took a brief look at the relevant code, and I'm also not sure what's
causing the issue. More digging required.

I set up my own ISP (AS28715) so I could run Tor exits etc without any
trouble.

Yes. Every abuse ticket is a person answering that abuse ticket instead of
helping a customer who is potentially paying for support.

It's also that some of the abuse emails can be quite threatening (e.g.
blacklisting the entire /24 or reporting the "crime" to local Police etc)
some of the smaller ISPs can get intimidated by those threats.

In the UK; No one.

No. But is polite to do so.

Depends on the ISPs policies / any applicable laws. (In the UK and at least
as far as my ISP is concerned; no-one)

> - can an ISP loose its license (with too many or badly
handled abuses)?

AFAIK; No. In the UK I guess one could appeal to Court if an ISP wasn't
preventing its network from being used to your detriment but I'm not sure
how far you'd get.

> - are there any regulatory burdens for them - if so which

Yes. Lots depending on the country.

Very much so.

Re: [tor-relays] TOR Services on Microsoft Azure

2016-10-10 Thread Volker Mink 

Update on my Azure-Exit:

https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/0534295ACFD5A84312183B41D3FB275E9ADD9EE2

 

It already has consensus weight 1200 after less than two weeks and its raising.

Everyone should use this option to give the TOR-Network a good push. After my free time has finished, i'll try to download an image of this Exit and create a second account on azure.

 

Technical question:
Could it be useful to save the keys and the fingerprint to use it on a "new" VPS to start with better performance?

 

 

Best,

volker

Hi John.

I think this depends on the distribution used.
Of course you can use own distributions and images.
I used the standard ubuntu which was suggested from Azure and did nothing than installing TOR (apt-get install tor), modifing the torrc-file and configured the port-forwarding.
Thats all.

Thank you for sharing!



 



Is Azure able to run the latest Tor release of 0.2.8.8?  You're running 0.2.4.27 at this time.  



 



Thanks!

Hi.

I read some pages on the internet about TOR-servers on cloud-services like Microsoft Azure or Amazon AWS.

Just gave it a try on Azure and it works like a charm!

You can sign up for free and receive credits worth ~200$. With this credits you can safely run an unlimited VPS for about 4-5 month.
