Hi people-who-enjoy-building-their-Tor-from-source, We have an experimental fix for making v3 onion services work, both client-side and service-side, even while the network is in a degraded state.
(More background: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/tor/-/issues/40237 https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/network-health/2021-January/000659.html ) You'll need to apply the patch to both the service side and the client side. (But it might work just to apply it on the client side -- if the service side still has its introduction points open and hasn't tried to publish a new hsdesc that lists different introduction points.) And you're in luck, the network is running in degraded mode right now, so it is the perfect time to try the patch. :) :/ You can find it as a git branch at https://gitlab.torproject.org/dgoulet/tor/-/tree/ticket40237_046_01 or as a Tor diff which you can apply to your git checkout: https://www.freehaven.net/~arma/40237-patch-046.txt or as a Tor tarball I just made, at https://www.freehaven.net/~arma/tor-0.4.6.0-alpha-dev.tar.gz $ sha256sum tor-0.4.6.0-alpha-dev.tar.gz 0e66ef42e048551acdabdc27ac2510bc4230be56fb4574f31a6827eb650e1c77 tor-0.4.6.0-alpha-dev.tar.gz If you don't like building from source, that's fine. But if you do, please test, and help find problems! Our current plan is to get this patch into Tor 0.4.5.3-rc, which will come out tomorrow-ish, and that will work its way into an upcoming Tor Browser alpha at some point. --Roger -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
