[tor-relays] Middle relay

2014-02-04 Thread Tora Tora Tora
I am trying to run a middle relay with no-exit policy. It was my assumption that a middle relay would only communicate with other relays on 9001 port. Yet I see my relay IP address attempting connections to other IP address on ports that are non-9001 (or 9030).

That depends on what the other relay operators have configured their hosts to talk to. It's a common thing to set relays on other ports to obscure the kind of traffic, and to work around certain firewall rules. On Tue, Feb 4, 2014 at 6:16 PM, Tora Tora Tora t...@allthatnet.com wrote: I am

Thanks for the responses, both are the logical conclusion to being able to publicly view a relay's ip/dns information.. I guess my concern was based on [unfounded?] paranoia over possible isp reprisals? On Tue, Feb 4, 2014 at 10:10 AM, Damian Johnson ata...@torproject.orgwrote: Why shouldn't

Is it correct to assume that if I am running a locked-down IP address behind the firewall, it means my relay would connect to a very limited number of other relays that also run standard ports? Would that would affect anonymity? Also, what is the right to deal with this issue without compromising

Hello List! Since 7/2013 I operate a small Tor Server as internal relay or as obfuscated bridge. What is more necessary: An internal relay to speed up the network, or an obfuscated bridge to help censored users? My ISP gives me dynamic IPs, which change daily. I guess this is good for bridges,
