[tor-relays] questions about attacks involving single-end measurements of available bandwidth

2014-10-09 Thread Mirimir
In planning how to configure Tor relays, I've been considering various known attacks. Most involve systemic issues about design and implementation, and so aren't relevant to relay configuration. But there is one that seems relevant, and addressable. I've been reading the work of Sambuddho Chakrava

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I don't know whether introductions are hopelessly old school on this list, but here's a brief one. Although I've used Tor for many years, it's been just about a year since I decided to understand it better. I've also been catching up on the literature.

I believe that error means obfsproxy was either not installed correctly or your torrc is not pointing to the correct location. Follow the below link's instructions. Also, a quick google search for that error provided resukts from this mailing list. Follow its instructions as well. https://lists.t

[tor-relays] Bridges and advertised bandwidth

2014-10-09 Thread Jan Nielsen
Hi everyone. I am currently operating 4 bridges on VPSs. They all appear to working correctly. However, 2 of the 4 bridges have 0kb/s as their advertised bandwidth while the other two are advertising around 100KB/s. Is there a reason for the 0kb/s? Does this indicate an error in my bridges or sim

Re: [tor-relays] How many exits can we run?

2014-10-09 Thread Thomas White
Agreed with the above. If you run more than a single exit I would further recommend that you try to diversify the exit location, IP ranges and ISP if you can. That's not a huge issue if it's only a few servers being run, but if you begin to process over 125MB/s of traffic overall, it's best to star
