Glad you are back and feeling OK.

Things just kind of fell to the wayside since it's kind of hard to computer when you can't computer :P. Anyway, I've been home for the past few weeks and starting to get back into my old hobbies again. I brought two new exit relays up in NYC, one Linux, and one FreeBSD on 1 Gb/s Links. I have another FreeBSD box in NYC on a 1 Gb/s link that I'm trying to think if I should make an exit relay or just a regular relay. Relay names - greyponyitnyc001 and greyponyitnyc002.

I'm sorry to hear about Conrad's illness. I hope he recovers fully soon. On 10/3/2018 at 10:17 PM, "Nathaniel Suchy" wrote:Hi everyone, I'm writing to you all on behalf of Conrad. There have been a few messages posted here in regards to Greypony IT and a lack of responses from Conrad. Conrad is NOT ignoring you nor being malicious. Conrad had a stroke and has been seeking medical attention. Likewise he's unable to provide customer support or fix issues as he's in a hospital. The issue affecting several customers is at the ISP Level - system administrators such as myself are unable to SSH into the Xenserver to fix customer issues. This is something Conrad will have to fix after he recovers. I'm unable to fix individual virtual machines for customers until the hypervisors are fixed. It's quite possible that customers will choose to cancel services and/or switch providers and/or request an SLA Credit or a refund. This is understandable. We will address requests on a case by case basis as soon as possible. To address a few things I've seen floating around here and on a few IRC channels:1) Greypony IT has not been shut down. We've been unable to address a network outage.2) Greypony IT has not had equipment seized by LE to the best of my knowledge. Hopefully this provides everyone insight - I know it's not a solution but we want everyone to know.

I have tried the manual install mentioned in this communication. I get the error: gopath not set. The go help gopath does not help me. What should the gopath be and where should I put it? I also use a local Charter company, Spectrum. On 8/8/2018 at 4:32 AM, "Keifer Bly" wrote:Ok. Thanks. The only computer I can run my relay on is a macos compter, and it seems to have been doing ok for the last week or so. Perhaps that was something unrelated my router was doing. As obfs4 seems incompatible with macos/homebrew, I will keep running my relay as normal for now. I tried doing a manual install and it caused the tor software to crash, leading me to believe that will not work on MacOS for now. I had another thought, in newest versions of tor browser, the option to use bridges is now lables as "tor is censored in my country" where it used to read "my isp blocks connections to the tor network". There could also be people in uncensored countries trying to connect from networks who's network administrator has blocked access to the tor network, it might be a good idea to include this in the text to clear confusion. Just a thought.

It does not happen often, but does from time to time. I have also noticed that not often but occasionally when my relay is running, my router will lock up either for a few minutes or until I restart it. I do not know if this is related to my relay (I checked with Netgear support and was told the router is capable of about 60,000 simultaneous connections, 65,000 being the absolute maximum). > > The ISP is Charter Communications, and the internet speed generally alternates between 500-800 kb/s. I will maybe try running a bridge to cut down on the maximum number of connections I get, and have three questions.

Obfs4 is the one I would most likely choose, and what countries are these being used in the most? obfs4 is a good PT to run.

Is there currently a way to install the PT for Obfs4 on Mac OS High Sierra (this would be installed via homebrew)? You can use “brew search” in your terminal to find homebrew packages. It doesn’t look like obfs4proxy is available via homebrew: http://brewformulas.org/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93%5Bterms%5D=obfs4proxy=%5Bnames%5D=0%5Bnames%5D=1%5Bfilenames%5D=0%5Bfilenames%5D=1%5Bdescriptions%5D=0%5Bdescriptions%5D=1 You could try a manual install: https://gitweb.torproject.org/pluggable-transports/obfs4.git/plain/README.md > • Would it be possible to keep my current relay fingerprint? Keeping your current relay fingerprint is a bad idea. It makes your bridge easier to censor, and it doesn’t help bridge users. Delete your keys and start again.

Re: [tor-relays] AS awareness
This is my public keyfile. I know this doesn't relate to this message but I couldn't find an actual email address to send it to. I want to run a bridge relay but am having trouble setting it up. On 8/2/2018 at 6:05 AM, con...@rockenhaus.com wrote:I did want to note one thing about these big ASes... sure, they may be big ASes, but they are still lacking in one major area - Exits. OVH has almost 4.5 Gbit/s of relay bandwidth available within the AS. However, if you search for exits, that rapidly drops to just under 750 mbit/s. I'm more than positive all of the other big ASes are the same way. A little off topic, but it just amazes me how much exit capacity these sites actually have, but people aren't willing to sign up for services whose TOS permits running an exit (or can't afford it), so they run a relay at an overly saturated site.

Re: [tor-relays] Discounts/Free Trials on BSD instances to promote BSD relays?
I am a little sick of versions and flavors, but I would like to run a bridge relay. But I have had no luck running any kind with the Linux version I have: Slackware. The company seems to have gone bust since they have had no updates since the one I currently have. The SlackBuilds Repository has instructions I followed but that made Tor Crash. I would like a list of files, where they need to be, and associated permissions for a functional relay. I have had no success with ansible or go. Can you help?
