Re: [tor-relays] >23% Tor exit relay capacity found to be malicious - call for support for proposal to limit large scale attacks

2020-07-12 Thread Charly Ghislain
There seems to be a consensus toward building a web of trust. Thinking about it again, I don't like much the direction it is going. I see tor as a web of untrust actually. I never much appreciated the power already granted to directory authorities. I want to be able to use any relay (I choose) as

[tor-relays] Work with ISPs

Hi list, With the recent warning by nusenu about the malicious relays and the proposal to work around the issue , ive been wondering: Did anyone ever try to convince some isp to put a low-cap tor relay on the router of their 'unlimited bandwidth' clients? Or has there been any discussion on that

I have nothing against this proposal although im not sure it would be that much efficient. Especially, how does it make relay operations 'less sustainable' or 'more risky'? @Imre Jonk: why would you want - and why should you have - an higher probability? Sounds to me the ideal case is an infinite

Re: [tor-relays] Questions about relays on IPv6

2019-06-19 Thread Charly Ghislain
Basically, assuming relays communicate between them over ipv4, guards and exits supporting ipv6 would allow clients with ipv6-only connectivity to join the network, and establish connections to ipv6-aware servers. So I guess it makes sense if you relay ever gets the guard flag. On Wed, Jun 19, 201

many other reasons, the ip/interface/port you are listening to might be very different than the one you publicly advertise. Lets keep it that way. On Fri, Apr 19, 2019 at 12:41 AM Charly Ghislain wrote: > Hi list, > > Last reply from s7r on jake Visser' issue included a link to an op

[tor-relays] IP addresses on the list

We have seen ip addresses posted on this list recently. They were coming from the logs. I think it would be nice if the software powering this list could scramble all ips in message bodies. At least having to reformat them in order to avoid that filter would give the poster some time to realize if

If it wasn't, would posting the ip address of a client connecting to a bridge in here compromise her anonymity and/or allow one to firewall/blacklist her traffic? Im assuming one could guess the ip address of the running bridge based on the poster email address. On Tue, Dec 4, 2018 at 2:57 PM wro

If my relay running at ip A is also available, although not advertised, at ip B, should I bother with MyFamily settings? This may happen if the relay is running as service in a docker swarm. On Thu, Jan 11, 2018 at 9:11 PM, Dmitrii Tcvetkov wrote: > On Thu, 11 Jan 2018 21:02:42 +0100 > Sebastia
