[tor-relays] Recent Tor versions not reloading config on / ignoring HUP kill signal.

2024-01-15 Thread George Hartley via tor-relays
Hi, I think this started with release 0.4.8.10, but both of my Tor relays no longer reload their config when doing for example: - systemctl reload tor@exit Here is the relevant part of the unit file: > [Unit]Description=Anonymizing overlay network for TCP > After=syslog.target

[tor-relays] Relay’s first seen date got reset

2024-01-15 Thread Rafo (r4fo.com) via tor-relays
I run the following relay:  https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/6C336E553CC7E0416EBC8577A7289349B757F6C3. I just noticed that my relay’s ‘first seen’ date got reset. Tor now thinks that my relay is less than 2 weeks old.

[tor-relays] Tor relay operator research

2024-01-15 Thread Ana Custura
Dear operators, I'm conducting a study to understand relay operator motivations and needs, funded by OTF. If you had about 30-45 minutes to talk (completely anonymously if you wish) about your experience as a relay operator, it will really help this research, especially if you're running a

[tor-relays] Relay reboots every 15 minutes

2024-01-15 Thread torserver
Starting about a week or so the number of connections raised rapidly to 18000+ and since then my middle relay reboots every 15 minutes. Lowering the relaybandwidth to a few MBytes partly solved these reboots. Before these unplanned reboots the relay has run for months at 20 - 40 MBytes traffic

There seems to be an issue with the metrics page, mine(3A8D61AC59FD4F9AC7CC82B4B58FCC451578DC3B) has higher uptime than the first seen which is very interesting 樂 \ Original Message On Jan 15, 2024, 1:33 PM, Keifer Bly < keifer@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > > > So

It's not just you. 3 of my relays show as new for the past few days and they still do. It doesn't seem to affect the traffic though so I'm assuming it's just a reporting issue and Authorities don't see your relay as new. On 1/12/2024 1:00 PM, Keifer Bly wrote: > Hi, > > So my relay > at  >

[tor-relays] A new kind of attack?

2024-01-15 Thread Chris Enkidu-6
I've noticed a new kind of possible attack on some of my relays, as early as Dec.23 which causes huge spikes of outbound traffic that eventually maxes out RAM and crashes Tor. The newest one today lasted for 5 hours switching between two of the three relays on the same IP. During the attack, Tor

This happened to several oft my nodes. They even lost their guard flags, while other nodes running on the same host are not affected. On the 5 year graph I can see their stats going back years. ___ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org
