 Each endpoint must always be in control of three nodes.
 The Server uses the IP as its third.
 The Client uses the RP as its third.
 
 So for each step in the process it seems like this:
 
 # S inits 3 IP's
 S - SR1 - SR2 - IP
 # S publishes descriptor
 S - SR1 - SR2 - SR3 - DB
 # C requests descriptor
 C - CR1 - CR2 - CR3 - DB
 # C inits RP
 C - CR1 - CR2 - RP
 # C informs S of RP
 C - CR1 - CR2 - CR3 - :IP - SR2 - SR1 - S
 # S uses RP
 S - SR1 - SR2 - SR3 - RP
 # full path established = 6 relays, 7 hops
 C - CR1 - CR2 - RP: - SR3 - SR2 - SR1 - S
 
 The colon delimits the end of each sides control in the full path.
 The arrows are build extensions, not traffic.

Ok, now Its all clear to me. I think it would be a good idea to include
these little ascii diagrams in the text, each one of them at the end of
the corresponding section of the text or all together in some kind of
short summary or overview to easier visualize the state after each step
has been performed.

Country-code exit broken in 0.2.2.21-alpha?

2011-01-23 Thread Geoff Down
Hi list,
 I know for a fact that there is at least one GB exit running, but

ExitNodes {gb} 
StrictNodes 1

no longer works - no circuits get built.
Tor 0.2.2.21-alpha (git-5f63f0d6312d9f0d) PPC OSX10.3.9
No flags next to the relays in Vidalia either - I thought that was due
to be fixed.

Why so many exit nodes in Absecon, New Jersey?

2011-01-23 Thread Bobby Butter
I was looking through http://torstatus.blutmagie.de and I find it most 
interesting that so many exit nodes are located at Absecon, New Jersey. 

These are:

3VXRyxz67OeRoqHn - li231-44.members.linode.com - 173.255.221.44
agnodicelabnet1 - tor-exit-2.lab.net - 173.255.238.178

PIis3141592 - tor-proxy.l.egofuzzer.net - 173.255.212.184

Accoring to Wikipedia Absecon has a population of under 10,000 people.

Does anyone know why there is such a concentration of nodes in this one small 
place?

linode.com is a pretty well-known vserver provider. As long as the node
does not generate too much trouble for them, they can be considered
(somewhat) Tor friendly.

See http://www.linode.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3082

I just current maint-0.2.2 from the command line and it built circuits okay with

./src/or/tor -geoipfile ./src/config/geoip -exitnodes '{gb}' -strictnodes 1


Could there be a vidalia issue here?  Could some other option be
interfering?  Could you have a missing geoip file somehow?

 Ah this could be a side effect of the Tor-only package not being
 available any more, and me having Tor in a different place from the
 default install. Should geoip be in the Tor directory, or the Tor Data
 directory?

Ah the logs say
'Failed to open GEOIP file /Applications/Vidalia.app/share/tor/geoip'

There is no /Applications/Vidalia.app/share directory in the latest PPC
Vidalia bundle.
 Creating it and moving the Geoip file fixed the problem pro tem.
