If you are using a 'Super Hub' (Combined cable modem / router for those of you outside the UK) in modem mode with another router, if you change the MAC on the router and reboot the Super Hub, you will get a new IP. Obviously, this requires you swap your router, or have a router capable of changing it's MAC address...

Re: [tor-relays] Problems with domestic ISP blocking publicly listed relays
If possible I'd suggest changing the MAC address of your router or swapping router entirely, unless you are using on of their 'super' hubs with a combined modem/router. This will force a new IP address on Virgin Media.

Do you know which ports you would like open? Is it just the required ports for Tor + SSH, or are you running additional services? Most users use IPTables for firewalling.

Re: [tor-relays] Port for obfsproxy
I dont think running obfsproxy is beneficial on a relay, as the IP is associated with Tor.

Re: [tor-relays] On the way to more diversity
This is excellent news! Thanks for your contribution so far! "abuse handling services" sounds like a great idea to me, I currently run a relay rather than an exit, but if there was more assistance with abuse handling, Id seriously consider becoming an exit.

How about running a bridge instead?

[tor-relays] My Relay has slowed significantly.
Hello all. This is my first time using a mailing list, so apologies if Im not doing it right! I have ran a couple of Tor Relays now for a few months, one was steady and reliable, and providing about 2MB/s of bandwidth. Of late, its slowed down dramatically. A reboot resolved it temporarily, but its slowed right down again, below 500KB/s. You can see the graph here- https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/2DAEE4EBA687A517F8B473894341A56820CDDC5E Does anyone have any suggestions? I have checked with my ISP and they are not throttling or managing the traffic in anyway, and my CPU and RAM isnt under heavy load. Ive uploaded my torrc here- http://pastebin.com/ZCnLQF0w I have read that file discriptors can also be a problem, Im not sure if this is relevant but- $ sysctl fs.file-nr fs.file-nr = 8320 199036 Thanks in advance for your help, keep up the good work! ___ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
