Re: [tor-relays] Call for setting up new obfs4 bridges

Hi, i wanted to run my bridge on 443 too but i had the same problem on Raspbian Buster with Tor 0.4.0.5 I asked Google but choosing a port above 1024 was the only thing that made it working for me. Am Fr., 19. Juli 2019 um 11:52 Uhr schrieb : > > On July 19, 2019 at 6:36 AM Ben Riley wrote: > >

Re: [tor-relays] Call for setting up new obfs4 bridges

Thanks :) It appears to still be running happily this morning. Low activity, but that's ok. Interestingly, the fingerprint is now showing the previous relay one. As in I originally named my relay: MelbTORbox - 9F19251CEE17B1E05084898D164F0544CCB095DD then when I switched to a bridge, MelbTORbridg

Re: [tor-relays] Call for setting up new obfs4 bridges

Hi, Thanks for the reply. Yes, I ran that command way back at the start. I'm assuming I don't have to run it every time the machine reboots or updates? I ran it again this morning and it made no difference. Ah logs, you say that like I know where those are :P When I run sudo tail /var/log/tor/log

Re: [tor-relays] Call for setting up new obfs4 bridges

Greeting everyone, I've been running a TOR relay for a couple of years and as recently posted, my bandwidth usage has dribbled down to almost nothing. I was going to pull the relay as the ubuntu box is basically doing nothing and not being utilised by TOR. Then I saw the above email about being a

Re: [tor-relays] Call for setting up new obfs4 bridges

In my experience the amount of monthly traffic is greatly variable. It can range from nothing (a few megabytes, for housekeeping) to multiple terrabytes. My understanding is that this is due to which of several "bins" the bridge is placed in by the bridge authority. On 7/12/19 12:41 PM, j4c4l4 wr

Just how much traffic can one expect when running a bridge? Is it comparable to being an entry/middle node? ___ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays

Re: [tor-relays] Call for setting up new obfs4 bridges

While resetting my bridge, I discovered that setting OR Port to auto causes the port not to survive restarts. After the OR Port was randomized, I opened it on my router firewall. Then I restarted the tor service using "sudo service tor restart", and while watching logs I noticed the OR Port was

Hello, I successfully ran an obfs4 bridge about a year ago that saw moderate traffic. After a few months, the traffic died off until I was consistently seeing 0 clients. I wiped the keys, got a new IP address, and started a new bridge. The 2nd bridge saw 0 clients, over several months. I finall

Re: [tor-relays] Call for setting up new obfs4 bridges

Looking at the new, improved instructions for Debian/Ubuntu obfs4 bridges, I am confused by the talk about a fixed obfs4 bridge port. The line to do this is commented out. Does that mean it is optional to give obfs4 a fixed port? If it were a random port, however, I'd need a lot of open ports

[tor-relays] Call for setting up new obfs4 bridges

Hi everyone, BridgeDB is running low on obfs4 bridges and often fails to provide users with three bridges per request. Besides, we recently fixed a BridgeDB issue that could get an obfs4 bridge blocked because of its vanilla bridge descriptor: We therefore wan
