[tor-relays] New operator

Hello everyone, I have some newbie questions and I hope this is the right place to ask them. I started operating a relay on my VPS for a bit more than a month and everything seems to be going well. I constantly have about 200 outbound and 2000 inbound connections, but in nyx I almost never see

[tor-relays] New relay on dynamic IP address

Hello, I started a new relay at home. I was really surprised to see it gain a Guard flag in about a week since it first came online. My first relay (on a VPS) became a Guard well over a month after I set it up. How can I assess what was different this time? Also, I’m wondering what will happen

Re: [tor-relays] Port Forwarding Question

Local port is the port of the machine running your relay (be sure to put the correct local IP address, preferably set a static IP or DHCP reservation so that your relay’s PC gets always the same private IP on your LAN). External port is the port of your router that you want to forward to the re

Or you could just add your user to the debian-tor group, so it will be able to access the nyx control Unix socket. > Il giorno 19 mar 2020, alle ore 19:55, li...@for-privacy.net ha scritto: > > On 19.03.2020 02:28, Kathi wrote: > >> NOTE: I know tor.Nyx should not be run as root, I get that. T

Re: [tor-relays] tor on Centos version question

It seems like that EPEL repo for CentOS 7 has indeed Tor 0.3.5.8, while EPEL for CentOS 8 carries Tor 0.4.2.5. If you want to run the last version you can add the repository maintained from the Tor Project following these instructions: https://support.torproject.org/rpm/

Re: [tor-relays] Tor fingerprint backup

Check the owner and permissions of the restored files. At least check that the files are owned by debian-tor, permissions should be fixed when tor starts. -m > Il giorno 2 apr 2020, alle ore 14:46, Kolja Sagorski > ha scritto: > > Hello together. I have a problem. When I install a fresh deb

[tor-relays] Low observed bandwith

Hi list, I’m running a guard relay from my home connection on a Raspberry Pi 4. My internet connection is 1000/100 Mbps, and I thought I’d allocate half of the upload bandwidth for the relay. Then I set RelayBandwidthRate to 10 MB/s, because I thought that Tor would upload 5 MB/s and download 5

Where you running an exit from home? It’s really discouraged because of what happened to you. -m > Il giorno 16 apr 2020, alle ore 04:50, Kolja Sagorski > ha scritto: > > I had a police house search for my exit... > I hate the stupid German police. > >> Am 15.04.2020 um 22:53 schrieb "li..

[tor-relays] Wrong IP geolocation

One of my relays is reporting a wrong country and AS Name/Number on the Tor Metrics page. I suspect that the other relays displayed filtering by AS Name have the same problem since all of them belong to the same 255.255.0.0 subnet. I know precisely where my relay’s data center is, and it’s not t

Re: [tor-relays] Debian-tor Vs User

If you’re just trying to use nyx as your normal user, add your user to the debian-tor group. There is a unix control socket activated by default which is readable by the debian-tor user. After you join the debian-tor group log out and back in, and then just: $ nyx -m > Il giorno 19 apr 2020,
