Re: [tor-relays] More recent rpm somewhere?

[Patrick DERWAEL]

Yihaa !!!

Thanks a lot for the pointer
I have loaded 0.2.9.12 on a VM and I'm waiting until it appears on Atlas
before rolling it out to my "prod" relays

[tor-relays] More recent rpm somewhere?

[Patrick DERWAEL]

Hi folks,

I'm running a few relays on CentOS 7
As I'm sticking to the ease of rpm distributions, I'm left behind on
0.2.9.10 from EPEL

Does anyone know of another rpm repository with a more up to date version ?

Thanks!

Patrick

Re: [tor-relays] Multiple Tor Instances

Hi,

Why not installing kvm ans running 2 or more vm's?

Hi Everyone,

Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction to be able to run
multiple instances of tor for a multi core cpu.

Tor version is 2.9.8 on Ubuntu 16.04.

Thanks

[tor-relays] Cloning a relay - duplicate fingerprint

[Patrick DERWAEL]

Hi list,

I'm running a relay on a CentOS VM

As I have lots of resources available, I wanted to duplicate that VM to
bring more bandwidth to the Tor network
--> cloned VM, changed IP and mac adresses, OS hostname, Tor nickname and
restarted the Tor service

Surprise: the fingerprint of the clone is identical to the one of the
source VM
I have stopped my clone to avoid any issue, but I guess I must have missed
something...

Any clue would be highly appreciated !!

Re: [tor-relays] Second relay on same ESX

[Patrick DERWAEL]

Hi,
No, they will be 2 almost identical VMs: clone, change IP, host & nick, get
the FP, update the family on both VMs and reload configs

BTW: thank you all for the feedback!

Re: [tor-relays] Second relay on same ESX

[Patrick DERWAEL]

Well, I have 100MB guaranteed to the internet and a 1 GIG NIC, the VM CPU
is used at 40% (average)
I guess I will fire a second VM and see what the total bandwidth result
is...

Re: [tor-relays] Second relay on same ESX

John,
The host has 32GB RAM& 4 CPUs
I have allocated 2GB & 2CPUs to my VM
As the VM CPU usage is +/-40%, I'm not sure if I should reduce to 1CPU
(would it then be used at 80% average?)

[tor-relays] Second relay on same ESX

[Patrick DERWAEL]

Hi guys,

I'm running a relay in a VM on a physical server which is largely under used
Current advertised bandwidth 26MB, consensus 76500
I'm considering running a second relay (2nd VM) on the very same hardware,
but this brings a few questions:

- is there any issue running it at the same geographical place?
- would the current total BW effectively consumed (26MB) be divided in 2
(i.e. no added value in BW)?
- basically, would it have any significant added value to the network?

Thanks

Re: [tor-relays] Dealing with OVH Abuse Complaints

[Patrick DERWAEL]

Hi,

I was considering moving my relay to OVH and asked them about their policies
The answer is that Tor is tolerated on physical servers, but strictly
forbidden on VPS
And BTW, their support is indeed terrible...

So, if someone could recommend a Tor friendly ISP in Belgium, I would be
pretty much interested!

Cheers

[tor-relays] OR port no longer reachable

[Patrick Derwael]

Guys,

I've been running a relay since many months without issue (Tor 0.2.6.9 on
CentOS 6 fully patched)

Since a few weeks, my OR port is no longer reachable without apparent reason
(Dirport remains reachable on port 9030)

 

[warn] Your server (xx.xx.xx.xx:9001) has not managed to confirm that its
ORPort is reachable. Please check your firewalls, ports, address, /etc/hosts
file, etc.

 

Nothing changed on my network nor on the config...

Both Dir  OR port are open and routed properly (Nmap checked from the Net)

Selinux  firewalling are disabled, nothing but localhost in /etc/hosts...

 

I'm kinda puzzled... Could you tell me where I should investigate further?

 

Thanks!
