We usually attach the logs to the relevant ticket.

This time, I saved the logs, but accidentally overwrote them.
And I didn't ask Colin to attach his logs.

We'll try to do better next time: I've added a note on the ticket
for 2019.

We rely on onionoo's last changed field:
https://metrics.torproject.org/onionoo.html#details_relay_last_changed_address_or_port

Changing or removing a published address or port resets the
last changed date. Adding an IPv6 address does not reset the
last changed date.

I realise that it's disappointing for relay operators to lose a flag.
But we're not too worried if a fallback drops out of the list for a
release or two: changing the fallback list regularly makes it
harder to block. And that's good for users.

Ran the script: output is attached to this message for anyone
interested.  Live-network test results will vary by time and by
the location of tester.  Attached run was made over Tor
itself using 'torsocks'.

I was bit by having disabled the unencrypted DIR port for
one day recently as an experiment.

Ah, great! This makes sense. It's a transient to the list update.

The cause is

Would be appreciated if the Tor project published outputs
of UpdateFallbackDirs.py job runs used when rebuilding
the list.  Thus operators who have expended effort to keep
their relays eligible will know why when dropped.

[tor-relays] consensus-health.html and fallback dirs

2018-12-15 Thread Felix
Hi everybody

Reading [1] shows the following statistics about the fallback dirs:

Dec 5:
Running 116
Not Running 0
Missing 34

Dec 13:
Running 155
Not Running 0
Missing 2

Today (Dec 16) shows:
Running 151
Not Running 0
Missing 6

I wonder how we can come from 116 running fallbacks to 155 within one
week (without a new release):


Then I checked for some fallbacks and found:

The relay with the fp F9246DEF2B653807236DA134F2AEAB103D58ABFE was a
fallback acc. fallback_dirs.inc until around 3.2.8rc, then it changed
ip. It is still in 2.9.x lts but with the old ip, recommended but
actually useless.

Since around Dec 13 it is listed again [1] where it wasn't through 2018.

The same with 8FA37B93397015B2BC5A525C908485260BE9F422.

Are the two relays newly counted as running in [1], where they are
useless because of the changed ips? The new ips aren't in any
fallback_dirs.inc's and [2] shows no fallback flag.
Would thereby [1] look better than it is?
