Re: [tor-relays] Nameservers fail and come back at the same time?

2016-01-31 Thread Tristan
After sending tor a HUP, I now have errors from OpenDNS and Google DNS servers. I opened a support ticket with the provider to find out how to use their provided nameservers. Looks like I just need to keep fiddling. At any rate, I'm still getting plenty of traffic, and the servers come back almost

I'm not sure how many DNS servers are configured because I never configured them. I just installed Tor and edited the torrc file with my port, exit policy, and bandwidth options. Where would I add/configure DNS servers? On 01/31/2016 03:08 PM, Tim Wilson-Brown - teor wrote: On 1 Feb 2016, at

Thanks Jesse & Tim for your help. I cleaned up my IP tables a bit and replaced unbound with Bind9 configured to use a high-speed regional open DNS resolver and things seem to be much better. Total server throughput for the 2 relays is back up to around 190 Mbps (and climbing) with no more warnin

Thanks Tristan. I'll try with a network cable instead and see if it makes a difference in the tor-arm logs. I'll also monitor the connectivity with a frequent logged ping. And I'll contact the tor-arm guys if the problem is indeed with tor-arm and not with my connection! On Sat, Jan 30, 2016 at 7:
