Nevermind, I got it.

Now there are two other things I wanted to ask about, is there a way I 
can set tor to automatically update over time? Also, my bridge at 
https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/4D6E3CA2110FC36D3106C86940A1D4C8C91923AB 
 
says it's blocked in Russia. Is there a way to set a bridge to get a new 
IP address automatically every once in a while so it will have a new, 
unblocked IP address? I think this would be a good idea.

Hi all,

So upon trying all of the mentioned commands, my tor installation
still encounters an error when trying to update. Attached is a photo
of my sources.list.debian.templ and sources.list. When trying to
update the returned error

I am wondering, is there simply a tool for configuring the
sources.list and all other Debian os needed files for tor updates?
Thank you.

Re: [tor-relays] TOR relays killing internet speed

[Sebastian Elisa Pfeifer]

Hey are you running this at home? I noticed that my ISPs DOCSIS modem 
handles a permanent traffic with many many connections very badly. Or 
are you saying they really use 50Mbps -> Set the traffic limit in your 
TOR configuration.

Sebastian

this happen over the past few months maybe its increased usage on the

It's open source on GitHub and you can also check the generated code.


Is there an easy way to setup MyFamily if you want
to run a few relays?


The best way is to use some config-as-code tool like Ansible or Salt or 
Chef or Puppet etc.

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

[Sebastian Elisa Pfeifer]

IMO uptime is more important because then you will get the stable (and
after some time) other flags.

Well, you are right. Thank you for your reply, I would have never
guessed that and I didn't notice because I don't have IPv6 at home so
the monitoring only connects to the IPv4 addresses... Someone replied me
off list and informed me that my hoster has recently changed their IPv6
setup and therefore my gateway etc. changed. Would be nice if they would
have informed me. I have opened a support ticket and disabled IPv6 on
this node for the time being until this is fixed.

[tor-relays] Should I use Tor Alpha on my relays

Hello,
I am currently running Tor from the Tor Repositories on Debian Stable.
Its working ok, but I was wondering if the network would benefit if I

You know that, I know that, the police probably also knows that. And I
never said it was not legal.

But also, it could be that that won't help you and you still get
convicted like the guy from Graz in the link..

But everyone should be aware that that might not stop the law
enforcement from raiding your home. Or even worse:
https://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Oesterreich-Tor-Serverbetreiber-wegen-Beihilfe-zur-Kinderporno-Verbreitung-verurteilt-2249228.html

And, keep in mind, in countries without a
"Beweismittelverwertungsverbot" (like Austria and I think Germany also)
it doesn't matter if the search was illegal - they can still use
everything they found against you.

Don't get me wrong, it's great you want to run an exit and I also did so
in the past, but be careful.
