[tor-relays] Relay reboots every 15 minutes

2024-01-15 Thread torserver
Starting about a week or so the number of connections raised rapidly to 18000+ and since then my middle relay reboots every 15 minutes. Lowering the relaybandwidth to a few MBytes partly solved these reboots. Before these unplanned reboots the relay has run for months at 20 - 40 MBytes traffic

Gus, thanks for the advices on both subjects, and the links to the recipes for both the RPI install including TOR updates, and the Snowflake proxy. I 'll try the Snowflake first. Regards, torserver. > Op 08-08-2023 22:39 CEST schreef gus : > > > >Why is there n

Roger, I had the same problem with 3 financial websites blocking my IP address while running a middle relay. Exactly 5 days after stopping the relay these sites can be reached again. They probably use the same mechanism, visible in the TPRB Firefox plug-in. I run my home relay on a low energy

Hi, on my Raspberry Pi 4 I can 't update from 0.4.5. The armhf architecture seems to be the problem. How do I have to upgrade to the newer versions? So far I haven 't found the ultimate way to setup a TOR relay on a Raspi 4 with auto updates. Greetz ghostbuster > Op 02-08-2022 14:00 schreef to

2016-03-06 Thread torserver
Last week, i had been erroneously assuming, the daily reassigned external IP addresses from my provider would kill Tor, as someone suggested in the IRC. So i ran a quick "sudo update-rc.d tor disable". Only later, when i learned, the IP change doesnt cause too much trouble, i reenabled Tor. Since

Hello, i have been running a new relay for a short time period now and would like to bring to your attention the issues faced, that finally led me to refrain from keeping this up any longer: * Documentation was ok (on torproject.org) and the installation (using deb on ubuntu) was easy. *

Re: [tor-relays] Please enable IPv6 on your relay!

That will be a problem because that instances will get several IPv6-addresses during the day because of active privacy extensions and the router get a new /56 for IPv6 from the ISP every day. A manual change of the torrc is inefficient for me. Because of that I will deactivate IPv6-support at the a
