[tor-talk] 'cached-descriptors' replaced with 'cached-microdescs'
I noticed TBB-2.3.25-1 is using 'cached-microdescs' which removes the end-user's ability to choose exitnodes based on each server's exit policy. example of informations in obsolete 'cached-descriptors': router name and IP address platform uptime bandwidth reject *:25 reject *:119 reject *:135-139 reject *:445 reject *:563 reject *:1214 reject *:4661-4666 reject *:6346-6429 reject *:6699 reject *:6881-6999 accept *:* Is this informations still available somewhere else? Maybe a torproject.org URL? ___ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk

Would it be so difficult to make available on torproject.org like was on serifos 6 yrs ago? http://web.archive.org/web/20060718235801/http://serifos.eecs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/exit.pl Thank you. ___ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk

Actually, it does have full exit policies of all relays. Try typing a relay nickname or fingerprint in the search field and select the relay from the results table that you're interested in.

The full exit policy is on atlas, here's a current exit relay: https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/4E377F91D326552AAE818D5A17BC3EF79639C2CD In general, the current tbb package upgraded tor from 2.2 to 2.3. This is a major new version in the tor world. What you're seeing in current tbb with tor 2.3 is that microdescriptors are now live and stable. These were implemented to reduce tor's bandwidth usage. The specification and motivation are here, https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/blob/HEAD:/proposals/158-microdescriptors.txt > Would it be so difficult to make available on torproject.org like was > on serifos 6 yrs ago? > > http://web.archive.org/web/20060718235801/http://serifos.eecs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/exit.pl Yes. It's a bad idea. If someone wants to run that script themselves, great. You'll also notice someone at harvard.edu ran it, not us. Creating single points of failure on which the world of tor users relies is bad for everyone all around. We already have this problem with check.torproject.org. We're working to replace check.torproject.org with a safe, local solution. -- Andrew http://tpo.is/contact pgp 0x6B4D6475 ___ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk

If you use the cached-consensus then why not just set 'FetchUselessDescriptors 1' in your torrc? ___ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
