Re: [tor-relays] Feedback

Many ISPs change IP addresses on a regular basis. This seems to be the center of your problem as the other issues can be worked out with a little effort. To our advantage, IPSs are regularly requested by users to assign a permanent IP address for game operators. Try calling your ISP and

Re: [tor-relays] Feedback

You can contact your ISP and ask for a static IP. It's possible they may charge you for one, but it's also possible they may not. My ISP for example allows me one static IP for free. I use that for my Tor relay, and it works great. On Thu, Feb 25, 2016 at 9:15 PM, wrote:

That's just strange that your ISP would keep changing your IP address that often. It seems to me that the daily change was the only major problem you were facing. On Feb 25, 2016 10:39 PM, wrote: > Hello, > > i have been running a new relay for a short time period now and

Hello, i have been running a new relay for a short time period now and would like to bring to your attention the issues faced, that finally led me to refrain from keeping this up any longer: * Documentation was ok (on torproject.org) and the installation (using deb on ubuntu) was easy. *

[tor-relays] Tor Process Being Killed on VPS

Hello, I have a VPS with 512 MB RAM. I run nothing on it except nginx and a Tor relay. The relay is an entry guard and moves about 20 MB/s. It seems that the kernel is killing the Tor process with "out of memory" errors. Are there any tips for mitigating this? I don't have the money right now

Re: [tor-relays] Stable Flag Question

Are you using the official Tor repository? The Tor version in the Ubuntu repositories is still on version 2.6.10. I suppose your script still has a problem though, since you're still running 2.4.27. On 02/25/2016 01:41 PM, stea...@nym.mixmin.net wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash:

[tor-relays] Stable Flag Question

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I just recently had my Stable Flag removed from my middle relay. It appears that my stats have gotten better over the past few days, so it's not clear to me why the stable flag was removed. Can someone explain how this flag is enabled or not enabled?

Re: [tor-relays] Reminder: exit nodes probably shouldn't be using Google's DNS servers

I assume you mean the name resolutions. Yes, the resolutions are cached. The history of queries is tracked implicitly by the resolver. I've set mine to no more than 10 queries per second, so the 11th query from the same IP address to the same TLD would be rejected. On Thursday, February 25,

Hi ZEROF, Nyx isn't ready yet for users. It works, but is still very much in development. It might be released around June, though that's just a guess. I reserved the name 'nyx' in PyPI but pip won't work until the release is ready. Cheers! -Damian On Thu, Feb 25, 2016 at 8:26 AM, ZEROF

Re: [tor-relays] Reminder: exit nodes probably shouldn't be using Google's DNS servers

According to the Tor manual, IPV4 DNS queries are cached by default, but the UseIVP4Cache option says this: NOTE: This option, along UseIPv6Cache and UseDNSCache, can harm your anonymity, and probably won’t help performance as much as you might expect. Use with care! Not sure if it's on by

Re: [tor-relays] Reminder: exit nodes probably shouldn't be using Google's DNS servers

The OpenNIC servers may not be appropriate for use by a high-speed Tor exit relay. I run an OpenNIC DNS server, and my VPS vendor insisted that I rate-limit the server to avoid it being used as a DDOS vector. I'm guessing that this is not an uncommon position to take for public DNS servers.

Re: [tor-relays] Reminder: exit nodes probably shouldn't be using Google's DNS servers

Hi there to all! Some time ago, in some meetings with our "collective" folks, we started to implement OpenNIC based local DNS resolvers to be used by every TOR / CJDNS host we manage! http://goo.gl/2Yki6M Not a good "policy" to use DNS services from "PRISM cousins"... Props to all the TOR
