Yes, I would agree that running an obfuscated bridge would be a good idea, as the network could use some more of those. I could only find the instructions for running a vanilla (non obfuscated) bridge on the tor website, but did some research, and found a guide to running an obfuscated bridge

Do you have an alternative choice of ISP? In many countries, you often do (e.g. Europe, East Asia). In others, you usually don't (e.g. USA, small island nations). If you don't, another option is a VPN with a public IP address (that is, if you are willing to pay for one). Once Verizon FiOS (US

One thought. Try making sure you are running the newest version of the tor software. I say this because I know directory authorities recently started rejecting relays running older versions of tor. Another thing I might check if possible is if your router has a limit for how many simultaneous

See if you can route to all the authorities. Tor requires that all relays are able to contact all directory authorities. In my case tcptraceroute would not get to all the authorities. For some authorities my ISP was not routing to them. On 8 June 2018 at 17:35, Gunnar Wolf wrote: > Roger

[tor-relays] Trying to set up a relay at home, but get no connections

2018-06-07 Thread Gunnar Wolf
Hello, I have set up a VM at my home server (via fiber DSL) to work as a Tor relay. I have set up port forwarding for ORport and DirPort (defaults, 9001 and 9030). The logs don't give me any useful information — or, possibly, I fail to grok anything useful ;-) The following happens every couple
