Hi, as some of you might have noticed, yesterday 2025-11-20 someone added ~900 new tor relays to the tor network.
They used nickname schemes from other operators: * NTH * prsv * Quetzalcoatl * for-privacy.net * relayon * DFRI * bauruine ... For this reason I wanted to encourage every operator, especially the large once to setup their AROI. Here is a howto: https://nusenu.github.io/OrNetStats/aroi-setup Why? You get nice timeseries graphs of your relays. example: https://nusenu.github.io/OrNetStats/artikel10.org.html And it helps to **automatically** tell false-friends apart especially since families have become so large that we can no longer use that as a good signal because family must be splitted if they become too large for the descriptor limit. A good example is nothingtohide.nl, all of their relays have a proper AROI configuration and they verify properly: https://nusenu.github.io/OrNetStats/w/contact/aa738469b86e5ea8838d95eb2b8e6504.html Here are 3 examples of large relay operators where AROI verification fails (partially): If you are one of them or if you know them please ping them if you can: * quetzalcoatl-relays.org https://nusenu.github.io/OrNetStats/w/contact/b32573fcfbc780a4b9ef03425f676400.html * emeraldonion https://nusenu.github.io/OrNetStats/w/family/34933fa4f34ef248c84847495870025a72b2681e85e40823c3bc1283d0c11d3d.html * prsv.ch https://nusenu.github.io/OrNetStats/w/contact/65a4a24bfc53c4c6c0d312ce29ab7883.html kind regards, nusenu -- https://nusenu.github.io _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
