Hmm, have you been keeping an eye on your logs? I eventually got a warning telling me that Tor had to stop opening connections because it couldn't open any more files. Regardless, Tor frequently opens thousands of files, while the default hard limit for OpenBSD users is 512-1024 files. My Linux nod

Recognizing Randomness Exhaustion

2014-12-31 Thread Libertas
Some of the people at tor-...@lists.nycbug.org and I are trying to figure out why Tor relays under-perform when running on OpenBSD. Many such relays aren't even close to being network-bound, file-descriptor-bound, memory-bound, or CPU-bound, but relay at least 33-50% less traffic than would be expe

I've tuned PF parameters in the past, but it doesn't seem to be the issue. My current pfctl and netstat -m outputs suggest that there are more than enough available resources and no reported failures. I remember someone on tor-...@list.nycbug.org suggesting that it could be at least partially due

I'm relatively new to OpenBSD, so please correct any mistakes below. As you may know, resolv.conf.tail is appended to resolv.conf. This is convenient because the last 'search' and 'domain' keywords listed are used. However, nameservers are queried in the order they are listed. This means (if I un
