Get your 'external' address (http://checkip.dyndns.com/) and start your
bridge with this IP.

Better: Create a free hostname (www.no-ip.com, www.dyndns.com, etc.) and
use this for your bridge relay.

Re: Is gatereloaded a Bad Exit?

 while scrolling through the tor status page (torstatus.blutmagie.de), I

 This node looks suspicious to me, because there is no contact info given

 Am I missing something? I'm wondering why the status page lists this
 node as non-exit, because it clearly allows outgoing traffic on ports
 21,80,110 and 143?

See:

Problem with: Bridge IP:ORPort fingerprint

2010-12-25 Thread Gitano
If you start Tor with: Bridge IP:ORPort fingerprint and there exists
an old entry with the same fingerprint in
'/var/lib/tor/cached-descriptors' then 'IP:ORPort' (or 'url:ORPort')
will be disregarded and the ''IP:ORPort' from the old entry is used instead.

This is bad for unregistered bridges with dynamic ip-addresses and/or
dynalias-urls.

(observed on Tor 0.2.2.20-alpha)

 If you repeat the above, but go to https://www.google.com (note the

It depends on the location of the exit node. I saw changing the above
url to 'http://www.google.fr/' or 'http://www.google.ca/'.

No encryption anymore!

Only 'https://www.google.com/intl/xx/' ('xx' = country code) seems to be
constant regardless of the location of the exit node.

So for me 'https://ssl.scroogle.org/' is the better choice.

 The effect of this would be the same as NOT having the forward-socks* lines, 
 wouldn't it? i.e. leaving forwarding unset?

Yes, but this additional line leaves the remaining settings of
Privoxy/TorButton unchanged. I don't know the behavior of TorButton
without the 'forward-socks*' lines in privoxy.conf.

ExitNodes for encrypted connects only are not possible. Why?

2009-05-09 Thread Gitano
In 'git.torproject.org/checkout/tor/master/doc/spec/dir-spec.txt'
ExitNodes are defined as:

   Exit -- A router is called an 'Exit' iff it allows exits to at
least two of the ports 80, 443, and 6667 and allows exits to at
least one /8 address space.

I would like to setup my ExitNode for ports 443, 465, 563, 993, 995
(https, ssmtp, nntps, imaps, pop3s) only, but this is not possible.

What's the reason behind this? Is there any chance to loose this
restriction in one of the next releases?

 Feel free to configure your node to exit to those 5 ports only. That

 Your node won't get the Exit flag, though, but that's not required for
 being an exit node. The Exit flag is used by clients for path selection.
 Relays with the Exit flag are selected less often for non-exit
 positions, so that their bandwidth is saved for exiting connections.
 That means that your node will be selected more often as middle node and
 less often as exit node compared to relays that have the Exit flag.

Thank you for illuminating this. I will do so.

 It's unlikely that the criteria you pasted above will be changed. There
 need to be some criteria, and if almost every node matches them, the
 flag would be useless.

Ok, but adding one more 'secure' port beside 443 would be enough in this
case.

 There is, however, the requirement that your

 HSDir server with the HSDir flag set in the consensus and status documents.
 If it hasn't been that long yet, please give it enough time.

Middleman node 'Gypsy' has been shut down by hoster 'ovh.de'.

2008-08-15 Thread Gitano
On 2008-08-05 my Tor-Server 'Gypsy' has been shut down by 'ovh.de' -
supposed due to massive violation of their standard form contracts.

No chance to get it back.

Sorry folks.



bridge relay with dirport enabled - it does not work!

2008-06-07 Thread Gitano
When I set up my Tor server as a normal relay all works fine:
###
Jun 07 18:16:18.673 [notice] Now checking whether ORPort *.*.*.*:443 and
DirPort *.*.*.*:9030 are reachable... (this may take up to 20 minutes --

But when I set it up as a bridge relay

  BridgeRelay 1
  PublishServerDescriptor bridge

the DirPort is no longer reachable:

Nothing else has been changed except the two lines in '/etc/tor/torrc'!

What am I missing? Thanks in advance.

 It means your Tor client tried to do a self-test on its advertised DirPort
 (port 80 of whatever Address you're advertising), and it didn't get an
 answer it expected. Perhaps something else is listening there instead?

In the meantime I set up a new bridge relay on another computer with the
same configuration except 'DirPort 9030'! No other application is
listening on that port but the result is the same:

bridge relay: DirPort unreachable

2008-05-31 Thread Gitano
When I start my bridge relay on a dedicated server at home, I get this:

---8

But after a while:

confirm that its DirPort is reachable. Please check your firewalls,

So I started debugging:

What does this mean?

I'm familiar with NAT and my m0n0wall firewall shows up the
connections to port 9001/9030 of the tor-server.

Here comes my '/etc/tor/torrc':

 Are you running something else on port 80? Like, say, a webserver?

Yes, a small webserver is installed as a hidden service, but is
listening on address 127.0.0.1 only. Connect to the hidden service over
Tor is working perfect.

 (port 80 of whatever Address you're advertising), and it didn't get an
 answer it expected. Perhaps something else is listening there instead?

No - port 80 ist 'NATed' to port 9030 and port 443 to 9001 in my
DSL-Router. The advertised DirPort ist 80 but bound to 0.0.0.0:9030 as
you can see in my origin posting ('/etc/tor/torrc').

   WAN [DSL-Router][m0n0wall][Tor/Web server]
  443/80   (NAT)9001/9030  9001/9030

In the m0n0wall-log I can see the request from e.g. 64.34.166.71 to port
9030 of my Tor bridge. But there is no /tor/server/authority.z on the
box and the answer '404' seems to be plausible.

Now, I stopped the webserver for a while, but no change:

May 31 22:53:47.378 [warn] Your server (*.*.*.*:80) has not managed to
confirm that its DirPort is reachable.

This warning comes every 20 minutes.

Remember:

It's a better idea, setting up an independent Tor client on every pc for
increasing privacy - IMHO.

 Gitano, you rock. It finally works without any error messages! Now one
 final thing: It seems that iptables configs are lost when the computer

 initiated earlier in the boot sequence given that iptables is kernel
 related?

It depends on the distribution you have installed. Under Debian I put my
script in '/etc/init.d/' and made a softlink in '/etc/rcS.d/' starting
iptables just after 'S40networking'.
