[tor-talk] running a stable exit node on a Raspberry Pi B+ (can it handle it?)

I'm running a brand new US exit node on a dedicated B+ model Raspberry Pi server (relay nickname: sonsorolDotNet ) configured per all the guides and running the reduced exit policy. Trying to avoid being one of the new folks who obsess about flag status but the relay lost the Stable flag so

Re: [tor-talk] Running a Tor node on a Rasberry Pi

I'm running a tor exit on a very new Raspberry Pi B+ node and I just posted a message about it here 2 days ago wondering if it was perhaps under powered for the job. Here are my quick thoughts: 1: I'm still trying to prove if the Pi is underpowered. I got the 'stable' flag back and now I'm

Re: [tor-talk] What relay does really help the TOR project?

With that philosophy of yours maybe you'd be better off running an unlisted bridge ("bridge relay") ? Those seem aimed squarely at helping people evade government censorship and national firewalls. May be more close to the type of service you'd like to be providing ? Josef 'veloc1ty' Stau

Re: [tor-talk] Quantum Insert detection for everyone

I run a US-based exit node and would be interested in a way to run this software without compromising the users exiting my node. Looking forward to your additional writeups - especially anything geared towards exit nodes and quantum insert detection. -Chris David Stainton

Sorry to re-open an old thread but I wanted to mention that T-shirts are being sent out. Just picked mine up at the post office this afternoon. I did email though to ask as I did not get an automatic notice. People on the other end of the email were fast to respond and nice to interact with

+1 for creating a tor-opentalk list if we need to satisfy the keyboard philosophers, communal fetishists and other interesting characters who need an audience to preen/preach in front of. Although I did find the the original start of this thread to be pretty interesting. Like many others lur

[tor-talk] ConnLimit issues with tor-0.2.7.2-alpha

A failed UPS took down my little tor exit node running Raspbian linux on a Rasberry Pi 2 Model B so I decided to move from -stable to the latest -alpha However I'm having issues getting it to operate. I keep seeing this as the last log entry: [warn] ConnLimit must be at least 32. Failing.

Re: [tor-talk] Running a relay on a raspberry pi

I run an exit node on a raspberry pi 2 just fine, 'arm' reports that it's pushed 2.4TB over the last 90 days. The previous B+ model also worked OK but the '2' model does more with less load. Flipchan November 14, 2015 at 3:32 AM Have anyone done this with a raspb

Quick reply ... - I run a tor exit node with a raspberry PI 2 model B. The prior generation struggled a bit to run under load but the 2B works fine - Experience has been fantastic; tor builds and run just fine from source and my only outages were upstream or power related over the last year

One small upside at least -- I'll selfishly admit that having a /redpill type pop up to excrete rants about "SJWs" did allow me to win a small bet. I've almost got my MRA buzzword bingo card filled out. Having it arrive via the cock.lu domain was just extra sprinkles on the flaccid little cupc

I run a tor exit node off of a raspberry pi. Works fine. The pi has more than enough CPU power to run your relay unless you are dedicating a gig pipe to it or something ... Regards, Chris /* Sent via phone - apologies for typos & terseness */ > On Aug 1, 2017, at 12:57 PM, Tom Tom wrote: >

[tor-talk] Is tor server now to heavy for a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B ?

I've been running a US exit node for years now and got kinda smug about my uptime  figures. It's nice to have the stable flag, heh. However for the past 6 months or so I've been getting an embarrassing amount of 'node down' alerts from the weather service It's always an OOM error for tor.  95
