[tor-relays] Atlas - location of relay changed

Hi folks, My Tor exit, ecntor, recently changed from being listed in the UK to being listed in Canada, without any input on our part. On the IRC channel, I was reassured that this was not a bad thing, that GeoIP is inaccurate, for example. However, I am interested in what might have caused

Indeed. In every Tor user there is a seething anarcho-capitalist. On 09/12/16 01:58, niftybunny wrote: Are there any “special” t-shirts for the 1%? markus Hi, Jon is distributing t-shirts and Christmas cheer this year. Have you been naughty or nice? And by the way, it's SanTor, not

Re: [tor-relays] Exit Node Geographical Location

Hi folks, I think it would be interesting to run relays in Africa and Asia. Especially Africa, as this area has growing internet usage, and censorship of the internet in some countries is not widespread, e.g. Liberia. Another argument is that even if there is censorship, having more relays in

Re: [tor-relays] Is there a reason for all exit nodes being public?

The problem with Facebook is that their policies on real names somewhat goes against hiding from a repressive regime. Their terms and conditions mandate that they kick people who use pseudonyms, and make fellow Facebook users rat on each other. If I was an activist I would be wary of using it

Re: [tor-relays] Exploiting firmware

What I was originally getting at was that the parts of the Raspberry Pi that are completely proprietary - while there is a free software implementation of the GPU blob, most people don't use that, as they are on stock Rasbian, which includes all the nasty "other parts" - are a great

Hi Kevin, If you need some support, there are lots of friendly and intelligent people on IRC - #tor on OFTC - who might be able to help you. You shouldn't have to wait too long for a response. -- Duncan On 18 November 2016 23:46:41 GMT+00:00, Kevin Zvilt wrote: >Oh,

Re: [tor-relays] cryptsetup some folders

Hi folks, I am not sure it is more secure. What are we trying to protect here? As long as the relay is running,it is unencrypted. Disk encryption only prevents physical access - are you at risk of this? At any rate, the relay shouldn't be storing personal data. Having it encrypted also

Re: [tor-relays] Linux kernel vulnerability

Hi folks, I think this is a very extreme and unnecessary solution. While it is good to keep relays up, this may be unreliable. It is good to perform maintenance regularly, and reboots are often best. Also, it appears to be proprietary technology. I would not advise proprietary technology on a

Re: [tor-relays] Recommendation for DUMB COMPUTING devices for Tor Relays

Hi there, More likely, they just compromise your relay in runtime. Reflashing the boot firmware is theoretical, but due to the huge variation in the hardware running Tor, I am not convinced using such an exploit on vast numbers of computers is entirely practical. Since relays are up for

Couldn't they run a regular relay node instead? This would help them blend in their traffic so to speak while also not having to put themselves at risk of being cut off. On 6 September 2016 04:47:41 BST, Dave Warren wrote: >On Mon, Sep 5, 2016, at 11:24, Kenneth Freeman
