[tor-relays] Question regarding variables in torrc

[conrad]

Hello All,

I haven't had a chance to experiment with it yet, but can I source a
variable from the tor startup script, let's say the IPv6 address of an
instance, and define that within torrc as follows

ORPort [$Instance_IPv6_ADDR]:443

I'm sure if it's possible it would of already been done. I just wanted to
see if there was an easy fix for simplifying templates for end users.

Thanks,

Conrad

Re: [tor-relays] new fingerprint

[Michael Brodhead]

Yes, that is correct. 

Conversely, if you're setting up a new host and want to keep the fingerprint, 
copy those files to the new host before launching Tor.

Ok i have found it :-),
1. i have stopped tor and delete the folder /var/db/tor/keys
2. start tor again and whups are there new keys.
so the new torserver is running with a new identity :-)

Is this correct ?

Thanks, it seems to be working.

One question, I can make the ORPort and obfs4 PT port listen on port 80
or 443, which I assume are less filtered by company firewalls.

Would it be better to set `ServerTransportListenAddr` to 80?

➢ and the internet speed generally alternates between 500-800 kb/s.

Not internet speed, that’s my relay speed. Sorry.

Subject: Question On Running A Tor Bridge Relay

Hi All,

So given that I am running my relay off of a home internet router (a Netgear 
Orbi Router) I am considering switching to running an obfuscated bridge. I am 
not sure I will do this, but have noticed that when my relay (torland at 
http://torstatus.blutmagie.de/router_detail.php?FP=db1af6477bb276b6ea5e72132684096eee779d30)
 Gets a lot of use,  this can cause my computer I am running it on to get hot 
(It is a mid 2011 iMac with 8GB Ram running Mac OS High Sierra). It does not 
happen often, but does from time to time. I have also noticed that not often 
but occasionally when my relay is running, my router will lock up either for a 
few minutes or until I restart it. I do not know if this is related to my relay 
(I checked with Netgear support and was told the router  is capable of about 
60,000 simultaneous connections, 65,000 being the absolute maximum).

The ISP is Charter Communications, and the internet speed generally alternates 
between 500-800 kb/s. I will maybe try running a bridge to cut down on the 
maximum number of connections I get, and have three questions. I have been 
running a public relay off my listed ip for some time but have a Dynamic IP so 
it should change from time to time.

1. What would be the most helpful PT to run? Obfs4 is the one I would most 
likely choose, and what countries are these being used in the most?
2. I looked on the tor website and could only find the instructions for 
installing PT on Linux at  
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/PluggableTransports/obfs4proxy.
 Is there currently a way to install the PT for Obfs4 on Mac OS High Sierra 
(this would be installed via homebrew)?
3. Would it be possible to keep my current relay fingerprint?

Thanks very much.
