Oh, and it seems that each user gets mail from a distinct sender. I get
it from camrynbentley963...@np.ovsum.com. So they're keeping track. I
wonder if they block replies from third parties.

Yeah, that's us27.axiobyte.com [104.161.37.152].

It's hosted on mellowhost.com by Input Output Flood LLC. The abuse
contact is Gabriel Ramuglia (ab...@ioflood.com). I suggest that we all
file abuse reports.

It seems that I am getting spam from a new email address: 
camrynbentley870...@ao.ovsum.com


The pattern is that the emails are from *@*.ovsum.com addresses. Just 
block this pattern as well, and report your emails to SpamCop.

Hello fellow relay operators,

My apologies as this is not related to tor relays, however, there
seems to be several spammers subscribed to the relay list. Every time
I am involved in a discussion on this list, I receive 3-5 emails
supposedly from girls wanting to meet up (for sex). The emails in
question claim they are sent from email address
tor-relays@lists.torproject.org (and always have the same email
subject of the discussion I was involved in).

I am somewhat in a trap as blocking them with spam filters would block
all emails sent from the relay lists address. I am wondering what
could be done about this (the email provider in question is Gmail).

Thank you.

Re: [tor-relays] Trying to set up a relay at home, but get no connections

[Neel Chauhan]

Do you have an alternative choice of ISP? In many countries, you often 
do (e.g. Europe, East Asia). In others, you usually don't (e.g. USA, 
small island nations). If you don't, another option is a VPN with a 
public IP address (that is, if you are willing to pay for one).


Once Verizon FiOS (US FTTH ISP) blocked the consensus node tor26 
(86.59.21.38) and just tor26 and I thought that was absurd, but this is 
on a whole another level. At least Verizon still let me run a Tor relay 
(they technically ban it, but nobody enforces it), and I did get tor26 
unblocked after posting on the NANOG mailing list. At least I still had 
the cable company here as well, but in the US cable usually sucks (some 
have cable as their only option if you don't want 1.5-6mbps DSL).


Maybe your ISP hates Tor and doesn't want you to run a relay. Most 
broadband ISPs in countries which don't block Tor usually let you run a 
relay even if their TOS says it's not allowed, but if you don't have net 
neutrality in your country, an ISP can freely block consensus nodes to 
prevent you from being a relay. Unfortunate, but probably is true in 
your case. If you are willing to get political, you should push for net 
neutrality in your country.

See if you can route to all the authorities.
Tor requires that all relays are able to contact all directory 
authorities.


In my case tcptraceroute would not get to all the authorities. For 
some

authorities my ISP was not routing to them.


This seems to be the issue - I'm attaching a screenshot of «mtr»
trying to reach all of the directory authorities from said server.

So, it seems my ISP does not want us to run relays ☹ Can you think of
any way my connection (oversized for my regular uses) can be put to
use for Tor? I guess it would not work as a bridge either, would it?

Hi

Traceroute requires support by all hops on the way, and that's not a given.
Try pinging the DA's instead or connecting to their tor ports.

Only Dizum doesn't respond to ping requests, but it has a "welcome" page on
80.

[tor-relays] Tor Community Night / Relay operator night in Barcelona

[Colin Childs]

Hello tor-relays,

The Tor Project will be holding a community night / operator meet up 
after-hours at the 2018 Privacy Enhancing Technologies Symposium (PETS2018) in 
Barcelona! 

This will be happening on July 24th, at 6:30 PM in the PETS main room at Centre 
de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona. At 8:30PM we will be moving to a near-by 
Belgian bar called "Belchica" at Carrer de Villarroel, 60, 08011 for food and 
drink. There will be Vegan options available.

This will be a great opportunity for the Tor relay operator community to meet 
and socialize. Within this event, there will be a dedicated relay operators 
meetup, which will begin at 7:00PM. We will discuss common issues operators 
face, potential solutions, as well as how we can all help to grow the relay 
operator community both locally and globally. We'll be on hand to answer 
questions and want to hear your feedback about the community, running relays, 
and what we can do to better support you.

Full details on the event can be found on our blog at 
https://blog.torproject.org/meetup-tor-community-night-pets 


I look forward to hearing from you / seeing as many of you there as possible!___
