[tor-talk] Optimizing Tor Client Settings for Tor2web?

2012-11-24 Thread Fabio Pietrosanti (naif)
Hi all,

does anyone have a clear idea on how to optimize a Tor Client
configuration for Tor2web nodes, by tweaking Torrc?

Tor2web make *tons of new connections* to Tor Hidden services with a lot
of short lived, sometimes pushing also a lot of bandwidth.

Currently there are Tor2web nodes:
- 3 on *.tor2web.org
- 1 on *.tor2web.fi
- 1 on *.tor2web.blutmagie.de

On the code we're working on:
- Optimistic Data
- Connection Pooling (to avoid reopening a socks connection for each
client request)
- Smart Http Caching

What to modify on Torrc to speedup/improve performance on high number of
users?

Fabio

Re: [tor-talk] Minimum system for hidden service

2012-11-24 Thread Florian M
32MB is a bit very minimal, especially since almost any linux distri needs
at least 64-128MB for just loading the installer in RAM, etc.

If you would increase your requirements up to 128MB you would be fine. Then
I would recommend the pretty stable debian for your needs :)

Of course debian isn't that pre-configured as tails is, but you can do that
at your own.

I'm surprised to see this 'rm -rf' command in a recommendation. I
thought you recommend to just unpack the tar file to preserve bookmarks..
Has that alternative approach ('tar xzf' without prior 'rm -rf')
negative side effects?

Hi,

great to see the first Tor 0.2.3 stable release!

Maybe we can reach the point where the line for 0.2.3 relays crosses
the line for 0.2.2 relays in the 'relays by version' - graph [1]
earlier with announcements via additional channels:

- - https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-announce
- - https://blog.torproject.org/
- - https://twitter.com/#!/torproject

Can I upgrade from 0.2.2.x WITHOUT touching "torrc"?. Or should I
review it line by line?.


> [1] https://metrics.torproject.org/network.html#versions

Please, somebody change the color schema to something with better
contrast between versions :)

We recommend you run TBB as is, not modify it. Personally, I keep my
bookmarks in a separate file and copy and paste between it and TBB if
I need something.

: Has that alternative approach ('tar xzf' without prior 'rm -rf')
: negative side effects?

I don't know. Maybe Mike or someone can answer better.

Re: [tor-talk] upgrading procedure for TBB

2012-11-24 Thread Greg Norcie
One idea would be to put links to all your bookmarks in a simple html
file, and then keep that open in a tab. I used to do this back in the
days before tabs or "awesomebars".
