Comment (by viktorj): Replying to [comment:45 arma]: > In particular, does Tor 0.2.7.6 behave better in the case where your Tor client is asleep for only an hour? It's possible that this edge case was never handled well (and so isn't a regression). Tor 0.2.7.6 behaves much better in the sense that I never ran into the timeout in Thunderbird, although it usually takes a bit to connect to the mail servers. Here is a log from August when I compared different versions of Tor: {{{ Aug 23 12:19:28.000 [notice] Your system clock just jumped 3622 seconds forward; assuming established circuits no longer work. Aug 23 12:19:42.000 [notice] Tor has successfully opened a circuit. Looks like client functionality is working. Aug 23 12:19:42.000 [notice] Tor has successfully opened a circuit. Looks like client functionality is working. }}} During the last days I always opened Thunderbird immediately after leaving standby and tried to connect to different mail servers, and strangely I didn't run into the Thunderbird timeout sometimes. Here are two examples of that with the shortest and the longest time of standby mode: {{{ Nov 12 17:35:29.000 [notice] Your system clock just jumped 2533 seconds forward; assuming established circuits no longer work. Nov 12 17:37:35.000 [notice] No circuits are opened. Relaxed timeout for circuit 85 (a General-purpose client 3-hop circuit in state doing handshakes with channel state open) to 125338ms. However, it appears the circuit has timed out anyway. 13 guards are live. [2 similar message(s) suppressed in last 3600 seconds] Nov 12 17:37:37.000 [notice] Tor has successfully opened a circuit. Looks like client functionality is working. Nov 12 17:37:37.000 [notice] Tor has successfully opened a circuit. Looks like client functionality is working. Nov 11 18:11:32.000 [notice] Your system clock just jumped 26150 seconds forward; assuming established circuits no longer work. Nov 11 18:12:20.000 [notice] Tor has successfully opened a circuit. Looks like client functionality is working. Nov 11 18:12:20.000 [notice] Tor has successfully opened a circuit. Looks like client functionality is working. }}} But I got the timeout with shorter times of standby and with times in between the two above. If you are interested in more logs, I can give them to you. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/19969#comment:47> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online _______________________________________________ tor-bugs mailing list tor-bugs@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-bugs
