The speed tests you ran are not Tor traffic. It's not even clear if they
are TCP or TLS.

Tor users run Tor clients, just like the bandwidth authorities do.

Here are 5 speed tests with actual Tor clients to your relay:
https://consensus-health.torproject.org/consensus-health-2019-10-30-23-00.html#C9FD236FDE28003315BD8C96EE94BC58D85FBACF

Comcast is well-known for bad peering, and slowing down particular
protocols. Search the list archives for details.

Here are some steps you can take to try to improve the speed of your
relay:

Let us know how you go!

Re: [tor-relays] Fingerprint Change?!?

I guess it was file system corruption, because:

it's on the physical file system

 Anyone have any idea why this would have happened?


The fingerprint depends on the relay keys.

If you accidentally deleted the keys, or there was some kind of
filesystem corruption, then tor generates new keys.

Check that your keys are stored in permanent storage?

Re: [tor-relays] The Onion Box v19.2: Dashboard to monitor Tor node operations

[ECAN - Matt Westfall]

As far as I can tell, this just gives you a graphical representation of 
the data available from metrics.torproject.. which already has 
graphs... I'm confused.


Can you elaborate as to why someone should look into running this?

operations



Good evening to the list!
It's been a while since you've heard news about The Onion Box 
.
This was due to the fact that I spent some time to implement the 
ControlCenter, as ability to monitor several (better: as many as you 
like) Tor nodes in parallel. This picture 
 
gives you an impression of a ControlCenter in action.
The latest version 
 is 
still labeled 'beta', yet seems stable enough to be released for 
broader testing.
Documentation 
 is 
not finalized so far, but I'm convinced it is supportive enough to lead 
you over the low hurdles to setup your box.
To upgrade your installation via pip 
, please use 'pip install 
theonionbox==19.2b3 --upgrade' ... as it would otherwise still pull the 
latest stable release (v4.3.1).
Please note that the support for Python 2 was dropped, so you have to 
use Python 3.6 or higher to operate your Onion Box.

Any feedback ist highly appreciated. Enjoy!

Greetings,
Ralph

hah, mine is -=severely=- under utilized..

4 Mbps of throughput 2 Mbps each way or only ~ 20Mbps ea way:

Plenty of bandwidth: https://puu.sh/EyX9O/65334af451.png

I realize that "false advertising of bandwidth to abuse the network

But there -definitely- needs to be a more intelligent system developed

I just proved that I have 2 GIGABITS of bandwidth HUNDREDS to other

 Good morning from Wisconsin,

 After reading about how middle relays in the USA go largely underutilized, and 
having quietly run my own middle relay for several years, would it be more 
beneficial to the network to launch several new bridges instead of more middle 
relays?


Good question.

Very few tor relays are actually under-utilised.

Many operators expect 100% utilisation, but low-latency protocols work
best around 10% utilisation. We're currently at 30%.

So feel free to deploy a middle, and if it's fast and stable enough,
it might become a guard.

Some bridges are kept in reserve. Others are handed out using less
popular methods. So feel free to deploy multiple bridges on the same
IP address or subnet.

Re: [tor-relays] Setting up tor/relay

[Paul Geurts]

hi,

I guess there are multiple ways of doing it so I would suggest to start at:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TorRelayGuide

don't know whether you can run tor directly on a win10 box, an option I use
is to run a (or multiple) linux box on oracle vm virtual box manager. I am
definitely not an expert but acquired some experience throughout my own
setup ;-)
so let me know if I can help you out.

rgds, Paul

Hello everybody!

I am using a windows ten computer on my home network. I would like to donate

As i read in the tor wiki, as I have a static IPadress I should use a bridge.
