In the past 24 hrs, I have been receiving complaints from my hosting provider
that they're receiving hundreds of abuse reports related to port scanning. I
have no clue why I'm all of the sudden receiving abuse reports when this
non-exit relay has been online for months without issues. In additi
Is there a way to be notified when a relay goes offline?
Hello,
If your relay is running as a systemd service, you may add any action
to ExecStopPost.⁽¹⁾ That includes sending an email or any other means of
notification.

I agree, maybe this open letter is better aimed at the security vendors
that include DAN's (non-exit) Tor relays list on a blocklist by default,
or without warning about potential impact to other legitimate services
(universities, libraries, shared hosting providers, hobbyist email, etc)

I’m running a node like that for over 5 years. Currently it is a guard
too. The IP address is relatively stable and the major interruptions are
due to kernel/tor upgrades or modem losing connection without the
address change. Even after those

As long as this is optional, it’s not a huge problem. But I do not
believe in ignoring stuff simply because temporarily it does not affect
me personally.

My goal is not to make contact info optional. I do understand value of
such information. The problem is choosing one specific means of
communication as mandatory, instead of letting the operator

The addresses have to be public, because other users need to be able
to connect to them. Public listing of bridge

Today I received a message from PayPal that paying for Tor relay server leases
was a direct violation of my usage agreement. I have been paying off-shore VPS
hosts for my Tor server leases with PayPal for at least ten years. Very
interesting that they act now.
How comes they determined what y

I have a question and I don't know were I have to look at. I am running

Tor starts via crontab (@reboot) but after a reboot the user
How would I continuously monitor the incoming traffic to my relay,
both what's supposed to be there and what isn't.
I’m don’t know, what do you mean by “supposed to be there and what
isn’t”, but in general you can use nyx⁽¹⁾ to monitor your Tor node.
If that’s for some research and fi

Is there any data available that sheds light on why operators run
outdated versions, so the situation could be addressed not only
reactively, but also in a preventive manner?

1. Asking all relay operators to list their email addresses in the public relay list is
largely equivalent to asking them to invite tens of thousands of spam emails into their
inboxes and having to either ignore most of them or set up aggressive filtering rules

Hello my fellow relay operators,
It doesn't seem like there's any malicious intent, maybe a bit of schizophrenia
