Re: [tor-relays] Help with FreeBSD relays

[xplato]

I am running two relays and the error message is the same for both:

Mar 30 08:13:01 freebsd kernel: pod 1745 (tor) , jid 0 , uid 256, was killed: 
out of swap space

If I run
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/usr/swap0 bs=1m count=512

#chmod 0600 /usr/swap0

#swapon -aL

Will that fix the error above?

Thanks!

Emerald Onion runs over twenty Tor exit nodes on HardenedBSD 12 and
13. Given Tor's need for security, you might want to consider using
HardenedBSD, a derivative of FreeBSD that implements exploit
mitigations and security hardening technologies. FreeBSD's state of
security leaves much to be desired. Tor's relay operators and users
really should at least have exploit mitigations like ASLR and W^X
applied.

Thanks,

Hey,

I'm having a little problem with setting up (my be some rights...) the
html page on the relay DIRPort.

On my logs :

I've not found any information about how to set up this correctly.

Many thanks in advance.

 It exits on signal 6.  See the tail end of the log excerpt I included
in my posting about 0.4.6.1-alpha being very noisy.  N.B. 0.4.5.7 also has
the same bug.
 I have browsed a bit in the consensus documents, looking for relays
running those versions of tor.  What I found was that the ones running those
versions on LINUX systems often have much longer uptimes, but I didn't find
any FreeBSD systems running them with uptimes much over one day, which is
consistent with them failing in short order on FreeBSD systems.  I did not
look for those versions on the other BSDs, but such systems are generally
much rarer than those on FreeBSD, except perhaps for MacOS.

 Possibly, but probably not.  Take a look at the crash messages that
tor usually writes to its notice-level log, which look like they have
something to do with authority code, but we, of course, do not run authority
relays.  I think I did have one crash that did not write that batch of
messages to syslog, but usually it does.

 xplato's relay may differ from mine, but mine isn't using much these
days because the authorities have a) stopped giving mine an HSDir flag for
the last two months or so after giving it seemingly randomly for months
before that, and b) been giving or withholding a Fast flag seemingly also
at random.  This is on a relay that often runs at 300 KB/s to 400+ KB/s, both
in and out.  The whole mess makes me wonder whether it's worth my bothering
to maintain and run a relay anymore.
 Can you tell us why the consensus documents on Sunday showed *all*
authorities with Bandwidth=20 Unmeasured=1 for some hours?  What caused such
an alarming situation?

Thx all for your answers.

I'm not sure, because I see Tor listening too on DIRPort I've set up,
with a "netstat -lpn", so may be it's still used ;)

It's not obvious to me that you are experiencing the same issue.

I have several non-exit relays running 0.4.5.7 on ElectroBSD systems
based on FreeBSD 11.4-STABLE and they appear to be stable.

One example:

Mar 30 08:50:48.691 [notice] {HEARTBEAT} Heartbeat: Tor's uptime is 13 days 
0:00 hours, with 14270 circuits open. I've sent 11283.88 GB and received 
11200.63 GB. I've received 3494368 connections on IPv4 and 0 on IPv6. I've made 
653389 connections with IPv4 and 0 with IPv6.

While I'm also seeing BUG messages they are different from
yours and are probably related to the MaxMemInQueues settings:

Mar 30 07:10:01.071 [notice] {CONTROL} New control connection opened from 
127.0.1.5.
Mar 30 07:10:09.457 [notice] {GENERAL} We're low on memory (cell queues total

(zlib: 0, zstd: 0, lzma: 292862001), rendezvous cache total alloc: 23736810). 
Killing circuits withover-long queues. (This behavior is controlled by 
MaxMemInQueues.)
Mar 30 07:10:09.531 [notice] {GENERAL} Removed 1147072 bytes by killing 17401

connections.

Mar 30 07:10:09.532 [warn] {BUG} channel_flush_from_first_active_circuit: Bug: 
Found a supposedly active circuit with no cells to send. Trying to recover. (on 
Tor 0.4.5.7 )

I intentionally reduced the MaxMemInQueues value before the upgrade
as the server became unresponsive due to a lack of mbuf clusters.

I wrote about it here:
https://www.fabiankeil.de/blog-surrogat/2021/03/14/website-ausfall-durch-mbuf-cluster-limit.html
(The text is in German but the Munin graphs and the log messages aren't).

I'm using Tor 0.4.6.1 alpha as a client and on a couple of servers
to provide onion services and haven't seen any crashes there either.

Again, I think it's premature to conclude that you are experiencing
the same issue.

I haven't looked at the consensus documents from Sunday and don't
run bandwidth scanners so I have no information on this.

 Thanks for attempting to run a relay in a diversifying environment.
Unfortunately, your timing has left you high and dry.  What is happening
is not your fault.  Both 0.4.5.7 and 0.4.6.1-alpha have a fatal bug.  I
don't know which version of tor introduced it because I have been running
0.4.5.2-alpha until a few days ago, when I "upgraded" to 0.4.6.1-alpha.
That crashed in under 24 hours twice, so I switched to the allegedly
"stable" version, 0.4.5.7 only to have it crash the same way in about 12
or 13 hours.  Also, 0.4.6.1-alpha was filling its notice-level log file
with many bug messages the whole time it was running.  I posted a message
on this list about it, including the last few hours of the log up through
the crash messages.  At the crash, the console log (also in /var/log/messages)
had a message like this.

Mar 27 18:29:26 hellas kernel: pid 17047 (tor), jid 0, uid 256: exited on 
signal 6

 After the second crash I made the switch mentioned above.  It has been
crashing ever since, and I am getting very tired of discovering that it has
been down for several hours.  There have been no responses to my earlier
posting, but your query is on the same topic, if a different Subject: line,
so I am replying.
 This sort of thing has not hit me in tor in many years, and I hope the
tor project developers will fix it ASAP.  My suggestion is that you hold
off a bit and try again once the bug has been squashed.  Alternatively, if
you a different BSD system (i.e., DragonflyBSD, NetBSD, or OpenBSD), running
your relay on that system would help diversify the systems running relays
as much as, or more than, running it on FreeBSD.  IOW, it depends on how
urgently you want to get a relay up and running vs. your level of patience
to wait for a bug fix.  Like I wrote above, this situation hardly ever
happens, so if you can be patient, it may be fixed within a few days.

Re: [tor-relays] This past week's most active discussion has forced my hand

[William Kane]

Hi Isaac,

First of all, congratulations on becoming a father!

Any help with the GoodBadISPs document is heavily appreciated.

One particularly helpful piece of data would be the number of Tor
nodes already running under any given autonomous system - making it
easier for the soon-to-be relay operator to choose a less known host,
thus improving network diversity.

The infrastructure / API's for this we already have, now we just need
to write some code:

https://metrics.torproject.org/onionoo.html#parameters_as_name

After all this is set up, we should launch some kind of campaign in
order to incentivize people with some spare cash to host a few relays.

For 10 bucks a month, I could , right now, spin up two relays on a
single KVM machine with one public IPv4 and one public IPv6 address,
under an AS only hosting about 9 Tor nodes.

If everything works out okay, then we should phase-out or at-least
de-prioritize the likely already wiretapped autonomous systems -
talking about Hetzner, Online S.a.s and OVH - and then start shifting
traffic evenly to the new, decentralized relays.

I know, a lot of wishful thinking - but you gotta start somewhere, right?

Re: [tor-relays] Tor [0.4.5.7] {Bridge} IPv4 not found

[volker.mink]

Do you run this on a hosted VPS or at home?

Betreff: [tor-relays] Tor [0.4.5.7] {Bridge} IPv4 not found

 

Hey, I'm running Tor [0.4.5.7] on Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS and started running my 
first bridge following the exact tutorials on the community guide for running 
bridge. However, the syslog says(resulting in non-reachability of the port.):

 

Tor[6278]: Unable to find IPv4 address for ORPort 11120. You might want to 
specify IPv6Only to it or set an explicit address or set Address.

 

Here's my torrc conf:

 

BridgeRelay 1
ORPort 11120 IPv4Only
ServerTransportPlugin obfs4 exec /usr/bin/obfs4proxy
ServerTransportListenAddr obfs4 0.0.0.0:356   IPv4Only
ExtORPort auto
ContactInfo __REDACTED_FOR_PRIVACY__
Nickname dubridge

 

 

Steps done:

 

Saw the router configuration (IPv6 disabled in there).

Thought maybe some issue with dynamic/static IP so configured DHCP ADDRESS 
RESERVATION to get a static IP.

Followed a similar thread on this topic by a guy recently so wrote IPv4Only in 
front of both ORPort and obfs4

 

Thanks!

Someone

Hi,

 

I am wondering if OVH is a safe VPS provider to run an exit relay on? Thank you.

You can see the page on GoodBadISPs
 it
is clearly documented there.
or type this on your web browser if that didn't work

https://community.torproject.org/relay/community-resources/good-bad-isps/

Regarding OVH it seems the page warns you against doing that or you can
consider running a non-exit relay on it maybe ... correct me if I'm wrong

[tor-relays] Help with FreeBSD relays

[xplato]

Greetings,

I am a bit of a noob here so please bear with me. I ran a relay using Ubuntu 
with very few issues however I decide to add an additional relay and decided to 
use FreeBSD. They will only run for around 18 hours and then they shut down. I 
have adjust the torrc file every way I know how and increased the Max vnodes 
thinking this may have been my issue. I can post the sysrc and torrc if needed. 
Anyone that might help me figure this out I would be grateful otherwise I am 
going to reluctantly move them both back to Ubuntu.

Thanks,
Dan

What do you mean by "they" and "shutting down"?

Seeing the torrc and /etc/sysctl.conf indeed could be useful.

Please also check the system and tor logs to see if there are
any relevant log messages.

If you don't already, you may want to start monitoring tor's
and the system's resource usage.
