[tor-relays] Tor relay operators at DEF CON

2017-07-27 Thread Joel Cretan
Hi relay operators, If anyone at DEF CON is interested in meeting up, perhaps we could set up a meeting time, maybe in/around the Crypto and Privacy Village. Of course we're all interested in anonymity, so no pressure to speak up. But if enough people tell me they're interested, I'll try to organi

Re: [tor-relays] Bridge not being used

2017-05-19 Thread Joel Cretan
Thanks, I've seen this come up before but couldn't find a good recent answer. That one helps. The longstanding advice has been to run a relay if you have enough bandwidth, and a bridge if you only have a tiny bit. It seemed to me that larger bridges could help people who need them, but maybe this

[tor-relays] Bridge not being used

2017-05-18 Thread Joel Cretan
Hi relay operators, I've run a number of relays, so I'm familiar with how this usually works for non-bridges. I'm working on a project that might want to connect through a bridge, so I thought I'd fire one of those up to offset the demands I'd be placing on the network. I've been operating this

Re: [tor-relays] Cheapest HW to get 20Mbit?

2016-08-29 Thread Joel Cretan
Having run a relay on an older RPi with standard Raspbian, I would caution you to look carefully at the packages you're using, if you choose that hardware. Of course the Tor package itself is woefully out of date, so you have to build from source. But it's worse than that. I noticed that running r

Re: [tor-relays] Handshake flood now on NTor

2014-09-07 Thread Joel Cretan
I observed something similar today. It was basically as you described for the previous cases you observed, where there was a storm of about 10 times more TAP handshakes than usual. My middle relay is pretty small, limited to 1.1Mbit/s, and until this point it wasn't even saturating that. Then this

[tor-relays] Circuit purposes

2014-06-27 Thread Joel Cretan
I'm running a relay that I do not intend to use for anything else, so I set SocksPort to 0. I usually have two or three circuits established anyway, though, so I guess I haven't managed to disable creating those. I'm not sure what they are for. They are always labeled "Purpose: Ags=is_internal,need
