[tor-relays] A few questions about my setting up my first Tor relay.

Judging by the level of your computer skills implied by the emails, those involved in Tor have better things to do than help a guy like me.  I think it is important to the entire world that the internet links us together, and Tor may be the most crucial part of that. I have 3 machines as

Re: [tor-relays] Init.d script for two simultaneous Tor instances

Hi Jesse, We use a modified init script that allows for an arbitrary number of Tor instances (eg. on our bridge servers, we run 253 Tor processes in parallel). https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-relays/2014-February/003942.html

you need to update your debian once in a while. the update process is fairly easy. you can even automate it if you wish. Just a quick elaboration on this, you can easily set up a cronjob to do this weekly. If you type in: crontab -e You can then select nano, which should be the second option as

Jesse, What's the test that there are two instances running? top? Are they visible in arm? Robert ___ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays

Re: [tor-relays] Init.d script for two simultaneous Tor instances

AFAIK, arm connects to the control port of a single instance at a time. You would have to configure different ControlPort settings for each instance and connect to them one by one. I posted this multi-instance script a short while ago: https://gist.github.com/7adietri/9122199 It's very close

Re: [tor-relays] Init.d script for two simultaneous Tor instances

I hope my Tor Ansible role will be useful to relay operators: https://github.com/david415/ansible-tor You can use it to write many different types of playbooks for installing/configuring tor on one or more servers. In the github readme I show several example playbooks to configure tor in various

[tor-relays] False warnings about inaccurate clock

Hi all, I got two strange warnings within three days that I've never found in my logs before: Apr 15 21:58:08.000 [warn] Our clock is 1 minutes, 52 seconds behind the time published in the consensus network status document (2014-04-15 20:00:00 UTC). Tor needs an accurate clock to work

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA512 I prefer ps aux | grep tor and then you can seem them running side by side. You can also seem them on htop, which I prefer over top. My init.d script sets a different log file to each instance, allowing you to monitor the logs of each

Re: [tor-relays] Init.d script for two simultaneous Tor instances

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA512 Yes, it's better to have faster relays. However, if you are setting up a relay or exit on a gigabit connection it may take some time before you see significant utilization of the pipe. By running two Tor instances at once you can increase the

[tor-relays] Grouping cloud relays running within same provider

Many people are running Tor relays on virtual servers in the cloud, using VPS providers like Amazon EC2, Rackspace, Linode, etc. Most major VPS providers offer virtual servers in multiple geographical locations, but they are still controlled by one entity, which of course ultimately have total

Re: [tor-relays] A few questions about my setting up my first Tor relay.

Well, this really convinced me on using Raspberry as a relay. Very nice guide. Due to the very low power consumption I'm thinking on setting relays that are battery and solar powered (I'll build some grapheme supercapacitators) and using an anonymous internet connection (3G/4G via a mobile

Re: [tor-relays] A few questions about my setting up my first Tor relay.

I'm researching more on Raspberry and I see its way cheaper to run a relay this way. Won't cost me more the 100ε for a relay that will be self-sustaining. Considering there won't be any monthly expenses (except the internet) the initial investment can be recovered, 24/7 relay and no
