If you're interested in avoiding slow fallback directories any reason not to simply run the script I gave above when picking them? So I'm doing that when I pick them, but what if they become slow some time after the release? Also, in #18812, we realised that we'd like to check that the fallback's current key matches the one in the source code. So can you modify DocTor to call a fallback "failed" if: * it doesn't respond to an ORPort request, or * (almost all clients will connect to the ORPort and issue a begindir request) * the key doesn't match the one in the fallback list, or * it takes longer than 15 seconds to serve a consensus (Are these doable? Is the amount of effort ok? The current checks are still quite useful.) It's ok to have a few fallbacks fail. But I'd like to know when 25% of fallbacks are failing, so that we can update the list in the next point release. How do I get that email/notification? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/18177#comment:14> 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
