It looks fine, it will take a few more days for exit traffic to start emerging. Check here: https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/AFD3E441204DD828FD1EF1401742D379814D2A55 https://blog.torproject.org/lifecycle-new-relay On January 4, 2018 6:20:38 PM UTC, Guilherme Rigon wrote: >hello > >i'm ru

Hi Olaf, SSH brute force attacks are commonplace on any internet facing server with port 22 open. You have a number of countermeasure options: 1) install fail2ban which will block anyone who fails a login 3 times 2) move SSH to a non standard port (preferably >1000) 3) reconfigure SSH to only al

Hi Sqrrm. There was previously the Oniontip site that supported relay and exit owners. It would be worth you reviewing that project on github as Tor infrastructure components were rewarded according to their throughput and consensus weight. S On March 13, 2018 2:24:42 PM UTC, sqrrm wrote: >

Hi Keifer, Depending on the version of OS X you’re using (hopefully it’s a recent one), you might have more reliable script execution using Launchd rather than Cron. For your script, I would stick to bash as you seem to be combining AppleScript and shell script. Make the following text file: #

2018-10-04 Thread Spiros Andreou
Hi Keifer, You could install linux on the Mac and run the relay there - if you need a GUI then Ubuntu or Elementary are good distributions to run. Ubuntu uses apt for its package manager "under the hood" so once you're up and running installing Tor would be as simple as issuing "apt-get install

Just a note that I believe you will lose the exit flag for not having at least ports 80 and 443 open On October 30, 2018 2:31:15 PM UTC, "Isaac Grover, Aileron I.T." wrote: >Good morning, > >As a followup to my last (and other) posts on this list, I have been >cautioned multiple times of runnin

Re: [tor-relays] Port Forwarding Question

2020-03-09 Thread Spiros Andreou
Hi William, You enter the port in “External” that you want outside clients to connect to you on. So if you are advertising services on port 9001 in your torrc then that is the port you need to forward. Others can weigh in on whether this will work properly for a relay or exit - I suspect you
