[tor-relays] Ensure servers with >2 relays per IP do not get hit by rate limiting firewalls (by other relays)

2023-02-03 Thread mail--- via tor-relays
Hi Tor operators,

Some of us took/will take advantage of the increase in allowed Tor relays per 
IPv4 address[1] to reduce costs for running Tor relays. This change will result 
in more relays sharing the same source IP address than before, which means 
other relays using rate limits on their ORPorts might need to make sure they do 
not
unintentionally block relay to relay connectivity.

Many relay operators deploy TCP SYN rate limiting packet filters theses days 
due to the ongoing DDoS issues. With the increase in Tor relays per IPv4 
address, there might be more (new) connection coming from the same source IP.

If you have strict TCP SYN rate limits per source IP, please ensure that this 
change does not result in blacklisting relay to relay traffic. You could for 
example whitelist relay IP addresses or have less strict rate limits for them.

Thanks for reading,

[tor-relays] tor relay shows offline @ tor relay search while running

2023-02-03 Thread theyarewatching--- via tor-relays
Good day,
My relay shows offline on the Relay Search page but according to NYX the relay 
is always running. I am running two relays on on Proxmox through my home 
network. Please inform me of what info/logs you may need to help diagnose this.
Thank you for your time and help.
