Hi Alex, We are very sorry to hear about the problems our measurements caused. Up until yesterday, we had received no reports of them triggering these kinds of responses from providers. However, yesterday we heard a very similar story from another relay operator using Hetzner. Thanks for sharing

Moritz and Jeroen, Thank you both. I tried both your ideas but the system is set to prevent the time being changed as you thought. Another plea to the VPS controllers and it was corrected. So the lesson there is presume it is the VPS set-up first and foremost. You both should know that the conc

Hello there, We're running a Tor relay (not exit) on a virtual private server at Hetzner for about a year. On Wednesday January 8th, we decided to take part in the "Trying Trusted Tor Traceroutes" [1] research experiment. There have been various calls for participation on public mailing lists [2]

Hi, if the time difference is too big, NTP will refuse to touch the clock altogether. You can force an update by the '-g' option. However, the adjustment might still be slow. I'd do the following (as root): # hwclock --set --utc --date="2014-01-14 22:05:35" # ntpd -qg The first comman

Jeroen, Thank you. It did that but I can't see a change. The VPS person said it is set to UTC. Previously on another VPS it was another relay in the ?circuit which had the time difference. Now I see this:- Our clock is 6 hours, 25 minutes behind the time published in the consensus network stat
