Comment (by karsten): Sounds good. Some suggestions to start this process: - Remove the following six config options that could be used to disable downloading certain descriptor types in the relaydescs module: `DownloadCurrentConsensus`, `DownloadCurrentMicrodescConsensus`, `DownloadCurrentVotes`, `DownloadMissingServerDescriptors`, `DownloadMissingExtraInfoDescriptors`, and `DownloadMissingMicrodescriptors`. These can all be hard-coded to `true`, which is also their current default value. I'd argue that whoever sets up a CollecTor instance to download relay descriptors from the directory authorities will likely want to download all available descriptor types. - Remove the `ReplaceIpAddressesWithHashes` option but hard-code it as `true` rather than the current default value `false`. There shouldn't be sanitized bridge descriptors with IP addresses `127.0.0.1`, but those should all be replaced with IP address hashes. - While we're at it, replace the default value of `BridgeDescriptorMappingsLimit` with `90`, because that's a much more reasonable default for a production setting than `inf`. (And while we're at this, there's also a bug that makes `inf` do something different than one would expect, but I didn't file that one yet.) However, let's keep this config option in case we ever want/have to reprocess past bridge descriptors. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/20162#comment:1> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online _______________________________________________ tor-bugs mailing list tor-bugs@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-bugs
