Why would tor running as an onion service write this to its log?
Apr 29 02:06:22.000 [warn] {APP} Requested exit point ‘$1FINGER-PRINT-XYZ*’ is
not known. Closing.
Among other stuff, the torrc contains:
SOCKSPolicy reject *
SocksPort 0
ExitRelay 0
ExitPolicy reject *:*
In case it’s related, I see about an hour earlier there was a large number of
dirservers that rejected an HS descriptor as invalid. In the past I’d seen a
line or two or three of similar [warn] {REND} errors, but near the time below,
there were 40 such lines. All within the span on one minute; 32 rejected in one
second. I don’t think I’d seen that many at once before.
Apr 29 00:50:25.000 [warn] {REND} Uploading hidden service descriptor: http
status 400 ("Invalid HS descriptor. Rejected.") response from dirserver
[IPv4**]:9001. Malformed hidden service descriptor?
FYI Currently I have about 15 v3.onion sites that are nearly entirely idle;
they’re for my education as I learn more. I don’t do anything wild & crazy or
try to break stuff; I’m just trying to wrap my head around a lot of things.
On another tor instance, on the same machine, that hosts 4 v3.onion services,
at that exact time there is just 1 of those [warn] {REND} lines.
But what has me most puzzled is, why would tor that only runs onion services
and rejects SOCKS input, be ~ “requesting an exit point.”
(I’m guessing the reason for it being unknown is my local cache of tor network
documents included a relay/exit node that had since been ejected from the tor
network.)
