Hi, Weasel made some changes to how builds are made, so that the builds are automatically retried for a few times when they fail for spurious reasons. Hopefully this should make the release process succeed more often.

Hi everyone, If tor's geoip db (which indeed is IPFire) has the wrong country for your IP, and you want it fixed, the correct place to fill an issue is on IPFire's bugzilla. You can see an instance of a previous report here https://bugzilla.ipfire.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13037 . It's not very

Re: [tor-relays] Does Tor itself estimate how it can run as quota-utilizing as possible?

2023-10-01 Thread trinity pointard
Hi, When using AccountingMax, tor tries to guess how long in will take for it to use its quotas, and will decide deliberately to hibernate for some time at the start of the period. It does that so not every relay is working at its max capacity on the first of the month, and only the unmetered

Hi, For reasons not totally clear to me (something related to meek and uTLS I think?) TorProject forked obfs4. To disambiguate with Yawning's obfs4, the project was renamed to lyrebird. It should work the same as obfs4.exe for your use case. Would you mind creating a ticket in

Hi, I've heard once of a non-exit relay getting seized because it was used as guard by a ransomware. We can't tell for sure, but maybe it's something alike: some kind of virus connecting to its control server over tor and choosing this relay as its guard, causing your ip to be flagged by some

Hi, Your torrc is correct wrt to distribution mechanism (your bridge is indicating "bridge-distribution-request any" in the descriptor it sends), but for the record, the line would have been "BridgeDistribution any". A bridge uses less bandwidth than a relay, but it's still a proxy. At 5GB per

Hi, You shouldn't worry too much about your relay sometime appearing as overloaded. Sadly due to the ongoing network ddos, many relays show up that way. You shouldn't restart your relay daily, that would make everybody think it's not very stable, so you won't be able to get flags such as Stable,

Hi, These lines Toralf references come from the logs you sent. It looks like apparmor didn't want obfs4proxy to open some file. I'm not sure why obfs4proxy would care about this file, maybe it's something the go runtime likes to look at. It does not look fatal though. Logs also says > Dec 20

Hi, There is nothing to do for your relay to work as an HSDirectory. DirAuths will vote for you being an HSDirectory if they think you are stable enough (I can't recall the exact rules, something like good average time between failure, and at least 4 days of uptime I think). The config lines
