[tor-relays] Tor Relay Configuration: 'MyFamily' missing - byelitehacks

2019-01-10 Thread nusenu
Hi byEliteHacks,

thanks for helping the tor network by running relays.

please do not forget to set your "MyFamily" configuration parameter on all your 
relays,
so Tor clients are not at risk of using your relays in multiple positions in a
single circuit.

Let us know if you need any help with this.

[tor-relays] why the network lost >350 relays and some bridges

2019-01-10 Thread nusenu
As some of you might have noticed the tor network recently
lost a noticeable number of relays and bridges as seen in the
metrics.tpo relay graphs (0.7% cw fraction).

https://metrics.torproject.org/networksize.html
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DwGAESoXgAEoB6L.jpg

this occurred when these relays upgraded from tor 0.3.3.10 to 0.3.4.9
(package maintainer update)

All these relays were behind NAT devices and they relied on a tor
feature that got removed between these two versions:

>   o Removed features:
> - The PortForwarding and PortForwardingHelper features have been
>   removed. [...]https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/25409

The portforwarding worked only in about 5% of cases so only 350 of the over 6000
relays actually became reachable.

Since I still believe these relays are not run by humans I hope they remain
unreachable behind their NAT routers.
