Re: [tor-relays] Tor Weather has been discontinued

I don’t think Weather will be better anytime soon, as it’s been discontinued. [0] If that’s already a reason for you to stop contributing to Tor… Although Jacob is not a part of the Tor Project any more ([1][2]), in his time as a (very visible) digital advocate, it obviously was in the interest

Re: [tor-relays] How to update tor on my raspberry

Hi Volker, as you’re running version 0.2.4.27, you still seem to be on Debian/Raspbian wheezy. If you’re using your Raspberry Pi just as a relay (as I do), it’s safe to recommend the upgrade to jessie, which already includes a newer version of the tor package (0.2.5.12). If you have a Raspberr

[tor-relays] Very unbalanced inbound/outbound connections

Hi operators, for a couple of days, I see a little bit more than twice as much inbound than outbound connections on my (non-exit, non-guard) relay [0]. I have no real concern about this but I want to explain it to myself somehow. As my relay has the HSDir flag, I started looking at the statisti

When did you send them something? As they’re doing it voluntarily, just give them some time. :) Also, as the guys at torservers.net are operating some nice exit nodes, they’re most probably reading this. > On 20.11.2015, at 20:39, AMuse wrote: > > I also went through t

Hi TorZilla11, A dynamic IP will be no problem for Tor. What you will see (at least I do with my relay, also a Raspberry Pi [0]) is losing the HSDir flag for four days with every new IP. Cheers, Jannis [0] https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/8827944C4BDCBDAC9079803F47823403C11A9B7A

Hi all, thanks for your answer and the point to the BwAuth specs, Tom - I’ll definitely get into that, or at least try to. The proposal sounds interesting and I think it would be a good thing to have the whole voting mechanism a bit more transparent. But I guess that might not happen in the ne

Hi operators, I believe especially the DirAuth/bwauth operators are working on this, but I would like to understand the ongoing issues. On my relay (8827944C4BDCBDAC9079803F47823403C11A9B7A), I see a decline in consensus weight fraction basically since May 14 (that’s where the first drop in we

[tor-relays] Relay from home

Hi operators, maybe this is a dumb question, but as I couldn’t find any real advise anywhere on the net: Does it make sense to start operating a non-exit relay from home for a longer term? I’m thinking about at least getting a T-Shirt (the more uptime, the better). However, my concerns are the
