[tor-relays] relayor v20.1.0 is released

2020-08-23 Thread nusenu
Hi,

relayor v20.1.0 is released.

relayor is an ansible role that helps you with running tor relays with minimal 
effort (automate everything).

https://github.com/nusenu/ansible-relayor

This version contains a bugfix, for corner cases where the newly generated tor 
configuration would not be used.

relayor users are encouraged to update to this release.

Changes
---

* bugfix: restart tor instead of reloading it when configuration changed 
(reloading is not supported by tor in all cases)
* make tor_ContactInfo variable mandatory
* update tor alpha version: 0.4.3 -> 0.4.4
* add support for FreeBSD 11.4 
* increase min. ansible version  to 2.9.12


kind regards,
nusenu

Re: [tor-relays] Tor bandwidth scanner "longclaw" slow to the US West Coast

2020-08-23 Thread Neel Chauhan

Hi juga,

Sorry for the delayed response.

thanks for reporting this issue. Replying inline:


No problem.


Tor bandwidth scanners and directory authorities not necessarily run in
the same machine/IP and it's the case of longclaw's bandwidth scanner,
which is located in the US East Coast.


Good to know.

If the reason for lower bandwidth measurements is the location -it 
could
be other reasons- then it's weird that it would affect the US West 
Coast

and not Europe, given it's located in the US East Coast.


Thanks for telling me. It seems weird, West Coast congestion maybe?


To understand why this is happening, it's very helpful that you give us
this information.
I personally suspect it might not be related to the scanner location.
We'll investigate this as part of the issue you opened at
https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/network-health/sbws/-/issues/40014.

It might take some weeks, since a lot of the work done on this topic is
volunteer work. Apologies in advance about it.


Understood.

I don't mind helping if you need help. I am a Core Tor contributor, but 
am also open to working with sbws.



Is anyone else hosting West Coast relays having this issue?


Good question.

Is

"longclaw" actually measuring bandwidth from Europe? If so, WHY?


No, it's not measuring bandwidth from Europe.


Good to hear.



I got in contact with "longclaw"'s admin and he wasn't too helpful.


It looks to me that the longclaw's admin has been helpful if they have
suggested you to write to this mailing list, so that more people can
check this issue and/or they have suggested you to report an issue in
gitlab so that the bandwidth scanner developers won't forget about it 
:)


Also, not all directory authorities run bandwidth scanners and not all
of them know about the complexity on how bandwidth is determined.

Hope it helps.


I guess it's really easy to complain and blame longclaw's admin.

It could also be peering, but I am not sure. Wave does have congestion 
issues from time to time, but this affects more than Tor.


Sometimes, faravahar also may have this issue, but not to the same 
extent, and I can't confirm if this is true.


Thank you for responding.


Best,
juga

Re: [tor-relays] IPv6 Support or Uptime?

2020-08-23 Thread Alexander Dietrich
Hi Josh,

the Tor network is still mostly IPv4 
(https://metrics.torproject.org/relays-ipv6.html), so I would say it's ok to 
turn IPv6 off on your relay for now, especially if there's a problem with 
stability.

Kind regards,
Alexander
