Re: [tor-relays] Exit relay funding

Hi Roman,

I kind of understand your sentiment but

this is (at least for me) not true - Michael's mail was the first I
remember with a plea for support and currently it's easier for me to
donate money* instead of running my own relay.

Unfair? Maybe. But not the fault of the thread starter and I'm sorry if
it felt as if I do not appreciate other relay operators.

Re: [tor-relays] Help finding relay bottleneck

2015-03-23 Thread renke brausse
James,

 I've also raised the maximum number of open file descriptors for the
 debian-tor user. In /etc/security/limits.conf I added
 debian-tor   softnofile  65000
 debian-tor   hardnofile  65000
 I'm not sure if this worked because (even after reboot)
 sudo -u debian-tor bash
 ulimit -Hn
 returns 4096.

I'm currently not in front of a Debian box but I believe you will need
to change the pam.d configuration, the limits module is imho not loaded
in the su(do) configuration.

Re: [tor-relays] how to monitor traffick through a bridge

2015-01-05 Thread renke brausse
Hi!

 Hi, I would like to know how one can monitor traffic that goes
 through a bridge. I have set one up and would like to know whether it
 is being used or not, and how much. Thanks!

I use iptables to count packets/bytes - though I'm sure nicer ways exist
for the task :)

Re: [tor-relays] Where to report relay warnings

2014-09-18 Thread renke brausse
Hi,

 Now, I have checked the FAQs but didn't found any information where to
 report this, so I hope you can help me out.
 
 Thank you already and kind regards

it seems https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/12808 is the
place to go - the relay you mentioned was added by arma a few minutes ago

Re: [tor-relays] Trying Trusted Tor Traceroutes

Hi Sebestian,

 Just a quick update regarding the  project. There are multiple GB's
 of data to analyse and it is still being worked on. We are also working
 on the public script(s) as well.

is your project still on-going? I'm asking because your score board was
not updated since May (except one test(?) upload in the phase foo-foo)
and though the repository updates are interesting (dynamic download of
relay ips) they were never approved for usage according to your
installation notes.

Re: [tor-relays] Problems with domestic ISP blocking publicly listed relays

2014-01-28 Thread renke brausse
Hi Paul
 The first one has been Tor itself where I have noticed (using Arm to monitor) 
 that it has been downloading far more data than uploading. 
 A ratio of say 5:1 — it hasn’t always been this way!
[..]
 Access to lovefim.com this weekend has now resulted in no longer able to 
 stream and watch films.
 I can log onto system but if I try and stream I get the error message 
 “INVALID LOCATION.  Sorry, but the requested content is not available in your 
 current location.”
 Opened a service desk ticket but the response was “you are trying to stream 
 from outside the UK”
 WTF?

Did you configure your browser to use your local Tor daemon as SOCKS
proxy? Would explain both the upload/download ratio (normal web browsing
is async) and a foreign (Tor exit) IP

Re: [tor-relays] Problems with domestic ISP blocking publicly listed relays

2014-01-28 Thread renke brausse

 It is a standalone server, therefore no browser runs on the machine.

Tor can be configured to act as proxy, not restricted to local
connections. I'm not sure about the defaults but typically the SOCKS
proxy is listening on [torserver]:9050.

But as you're not aware of this option my idea in the previous mail was
most likely incorrect :)

Re: [tor-relays] Scoreboard enhancements / Trying Trusted Tor Traceroutes

2014-01-26 Thread renke brausse
 
 I am wondering why only 68 out of 283 completed the traceroute. Can someone 
 explain please?
 
probably because the estimated time is between 4 and 96 days:
https://web.engr.illinois.edu/~das17/tor-traceroute_v1.html#q-howlong
my (low-bandwith) relay is trace-routing since 4 days and completed a
mere 15 % of all checks :)

Sebastian,

 Do you care to elaborate  ? If you need assistance we can talk via
 private mail as well ...
I use the script intentionally with scamper restricted to 200 pps - not
sure why (and what) I should elaborate ;)

The needed time (even for the default of scamper with 1000 pps) is imho
a rather good explanation to torland's question why only 68 of nearly
300 participating IPs finished the whole measurement at least once.
