It seems to be not an issue (yet). Some current discussion was done
on the list in June timeframe.

Possible compression bomb; abandoning stream. <- Happened to my server for 2h

Should I take any measures against that? Bridge is obsf4 with fingerprint:

I agree, it should be safe to run a bridge. All the relay IP addresses are 
publicly available, but bridges are not easy to list.

To be fair some entities like China's Great Firewall does manage to get the 
full 
list of IP addresses of bridges. But I will assume your employer doesn't have 
the resources of the GFW just to figure out employees that run bridges.

Thanks for helping the tor network. Bridges are very useful, remember to 
configure it with obfs4 :)

The bridge IPs should be private enough.

it shows I am coming from a Tor IP and sets off an alert that then leads to me 
being on a call with an investigative team for my employers. I was running a 
Tor relay, but had to shut it down because of these alerts. I am not thinking

Yes, I did that and why I'm asking here.
Unfortunately, I fear that the Chinese government will only need a few 
hours or days to close these bridges. (Great Firewall of China)
Or worse: they monitor the connections and arrest the users in China. 
:-(



Alternatively, you can distribute your bridge manually by using the
config option "BridgeDistribution none" to tell BridgeDB that it
shouldn't distribute your bridge.  If you do this, it's your
responsibility to find users and give them your bridge lines.


I was hoping to hear from private distribution lists here.

Then I have to look around among the Chinese students in my city.
Fortunately, I live directly at the student dormitories and 
international guest house.

I will then take new IP's for the private bridges.

Hello,

I put a bridge on an unused server. Currently listed on Tor-metrics.
https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/48022B9A9402CB6D9918C03B8AFD2A073110B1BD

But the IP per mail will soon have the "bad guy's". That would be too 
bad. With 2 Tor-instances, the server has reached 80-100 MiB/s

Does the Tor-project have any other more secret bridge lists?

Another question:
Is it useful to offer other transport protocols than obfs4?

[Keifer Bly]

UPDATE: When I came home today, tor had been down for 1 hour, when I checked 
the pc the tor software (the tor expert bundle cmd application) had exited, 
which is strange as I never closed it. Perhaps there is something with the 
Windows command line that causes tor to quit?

I noticed that the system is running Windows10?   If this is the situation
then you might want to downgrade the server to anything.  Not knowing the
ISP service I cannot say for certain, but, ATT and most of the cable
companies have signed agreements with NSA and DHS to interrupt services to
the dark web, or at least report and track access.  MS Win10 is actually
copying everything back to the MS servers furthering Bill Gates dream of
having "Every Computer in the World on a single peer to peer network".  See
if there is a "Router" log that might identify an external access problem
or "Denial of access" issue.  Good Luck!!!

Good point out, but that seems very strange as it is a desktop computer my
relay runs on, which is set (via the Windows sleep settings) to not turn
fully off and only put the screen to sleep. The relay was online for a few
days without interruption beforehand. I use Avast as my antivirus software,
which notifies me if it detects something as a virus which it has not done.
Strange. I am running the newest version of both tor and obfs4, and I keep
Windows up to date as well. My web browser was playing a video the whole
time which did not get interrupted at all, so it doesn't look like my
internet stopped..?

Thanks for the thoughts and help. Wonder what could have caused it out of

Ahhh... darn that's a good point. The good news is I have a dynamic ip

Giving metrics link with hashed fingerprint is fine, but you should've
redact Tor log to remove external IP address and unhashed fingerprint as
this mailing list is public and can be read by anyone.

It looks like your ORPort is 9002, and also your ServerTransportListenAddr
is trying to use 9002? That could result in weirdness.

Something weird happened here -- it's like the process went to sleep
for 31 hours. This is the sort of thing that happens when you close your
laptop and then open it 31 hours later.

There are not many Windows relays (or bridges), so it could be all sorts
of things -- a libevent bug? A thing that Microsoft chose to implement in
a surprising way that's different from every other platform? An antivirus
app that tried to hook the Tor process and ended up wedging it for 31
hours? A clock that jumped backwards by 31 hours?

I wonder if it's https://trac.torproject.org/26360

[tor-relays] Tor bridge on Windows 10 going down for a reason I cannot detect?

[Keifer Bly]

Hello all, for some reason my tor bridge at 
https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/148BD64BED9F2C27637D986DE032ECF14E5B9E9A
 is randomly removed from the network. Tonight when I went to check it, tor 
metrics said it had said it was offline for the last 11 hours. This is very 
strange as I had not closed the tor software and my internet had not 
disconnected at all. Below is the tor log file, it is tor 0.3.4.8 on Windows 
10, any thoughts would be great. Thanks.

You're only allowed one space-separated transport name for "transport", you have two: "obfs3" and "obfs4".

From the tor manual page:

ServerTransportPlugin transport exec path-to-binary [options]
   The Tor relay launches the pluggable transport proxy in
   path-to-binary using options as its command-line options, and
   expects to receive proxied client traffic from it.

[tor-relays] tor-bridge life cycle

[Trigger Happy]

Hi list,

Greetings from Poland, i have a question about tor bridge  life cycle.

1) I'm running a bridge
2) Someone from china gets bridge id
3) Bridge gets banned
4) what now ? do i receive an email about it , so i could change
tor-bridge to tor-relay ? or change tor-bride ip ?

Thanks in advance

 First, thanks for running a bridge.  Second, this is normal. The
 determining factor of how much traffic you receive as a bridge is
 simply which bucket your bridge is placed in the BridgeDB. There are
 multiple buckets, some served via HTTPS, SMTPS, XMPP, and reserve
 buckets of bridges handed out by hand to trusted activists, or simply
 kept in reserve in case of emergency.
 
 There's no way a bridge operator knows which bucket you're in.

Actually, there is (finally) a way to find out:

http://globe.rndm.de

Search for bridge nickname or fingerprint and look for the bridge's pool
assignment information.  (Note that this information may not be entirely
correct until we resolve #9264.)


However, a bridge's usefulness isn't determined by the number of bytes
it pushes.  We're currently working on resuming to hand out bridges in
the reserved bucket to activists.  So it's a good thing to have bridges
in the reserved pool which do not push much traffic yet.

Best,
Karsten

Well you are just a bridge.. Don't expect tons of traffic.

P.s: For a bridge this is already a lot of traffic.

Re: [tor-relays] Tor bridge on Amazon not doing much

[Matthias Redies]

There are a few talks on youtube that explain this a little. The Chinese
are pretty successful  blocking bridges. The last thing I heard was that
they will send every server which creates a SSL connection so someone in
China a Tor-Handshake and block it if it responds.

In other countries bridges aren't needed this might explain the little use.

Shawn:

Set up an obfsproxy3 bridge (you can do obfs2 and regular on different
ports, as last I knew China only blocked IP:port combos, not entire IPs)
- there is a big need for obfsproxy bridges.

Here are my stats for a brand new bridge I set up recently:

Tor's uptime is [about 2.5 weeks, redacting due to paranoia], with 2
circuits open. I've sent 114.38 MB and received 699.14 MB.
