1/6 of the tor network capacity runs on end-of-life tor releases - Let's patch!
by nusenu 09 Oct '18

09 Oct '18

Dear Tor Relay Operators! today marks the end-of-life day of tor version 0.3.2.x, meaning: No more security updates for tor 0.3.2. With this day the amount of relays running end-of-life tor versions on the network increased to over 1300 (!) making up 1/6 of the entire capacity. If you find yourself on this list bellow, please change your tor version to one of the supported releases (some are in BCC) https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkTeam/CoreTor… affected exit/guard operators (grouped by contact, sorted by cw, filtered for cw > 100) for a per-relay list see: https://nusenu.github.io/OrNetStats/eolrelays +----------------------------------------------------+-----------------------+--------+---------+ | contact | tor versions | cw | #relays | +----------------------------------------------------+-----------------------+--------+---------+ | Privacy Republic <abuse-team _at_ PrivacyRepublic | 0.3.1.10 | 282500 | 4 | | sirmatt ksu edu 0x94FBBB0A | 0.3.2.10,0.3.2.10-dev | 166800 | 2 | | abuse(a)to-surf-and-protect.net | 0.3.2.10 | 157700 | 3 | | tor-relay-admin robgjansen com | https://onioncoun | 0.3.2.10-dev | 98770 | 4 | | 0xFED4E03C Jan <jan AT wth dot in> | 0.3.1.10 | 88300 | 2 | | Admin <tor(a)ngc292.space> | 0.3.1.9,0.3.2.9 | 74900 | 3 | | email:hello[]brasshorncomms.uk hoster:brasshorncom | 0.3.2.10 | 70800 | 2 | | Jordan <jordan(a)yui.cat> | 0.3.2.10 | 66400 | 3 | | Kevin Hicks <admin(a)fissionrelays.net> | 0.3.2.10 | 61000 | 4 | | Peter Pan <peterpan(a)fscore.de> | 0.3.2.10 | 60400 | 1 | | Random Person <root <at> nldo.nl> | 0.3.2.10 | 59800 | 1 | | Boris Nagaev 19pZzECKDDMbSpaWEy8vGvELEfXM8GrkHS <b | 0.3.2.10 | 56300 | 1 | | ${CONTACT_GPG_FINGERPRINT} ${CONTACT_NAME} ${CONTA | 0.3.1.10,0.3.1.9 | 50720 | 4 | | Itzhak Daniel <itzhak+tor(a)itk98.net> | 0.3.1.10 | 50420 | 3 | | Ghost <torabuse AT cridyn dot com> | 0.3.2.10 | 47900 | 3 | | staff(a)dotsrc.org | 0.3.2.10 | 45100 | 2 | | 0x77A31D11 Tony Olagbaiye <frony0 AT gmail dot com | 0.3.0.10 | 41000 | 1 | | Sebastian <tor(a)sebastianhahn.net> -

IPv6 and bridges
by arisbe 07 Oct '18

07 Oct '18

Hello to you all, Question: Is there a point to adding IPv6 addresses to the ORPorts of my bridges? Will they then operate somewhat in the fashion of guards without published metrics? Any info would be helpful. Arisbe

I Have Worked Out An (Experiemental) Way To Run A Relay Or Obfuscated Bridge On Windows And Update On Relay "Torland"
by Keifer Bly 06 Oct '18

06 Oct '18

Hi all, I wanted to report a method I have found of running a tor relay on Windows, as well as an obfuscated bridge. So when I switched over to Windows, I had to start a new relay as my signing keys were lost in the transit. I decided to switch over to running a bridge, as I am running on a home router to cut down on connections, etc. For setting up a new relay on Windows, these are the steps that worked (cmd says I have generated a fingerprint). Step 1: Download the tor expert bundle from here https://www.torproject.org/download/download Step 2: Extract the tor expert bundle to the desktop. Step 3: Run “tor.exe” as administrator (doing so will create the folders were going to be running tor from later. Step 4: Open the “run” command. Using this, open “C:\Users\keife\AppData\Roaming\tor” (Where is says “keife” you will need to type your username). Step 5: Go back to the folder that the tor expert bundle was extracted to formerly. Open the folder called “Tor” and copy / paste all of the contents of it over to the roaming/tor folder you just opened using the run command. Step 6: Right click inside the folder, and select New -> Text Document, name the text file “torrc” and open it using notepad. Step 7: In the torrc text file just created, type nothing else but the configuration for your relay, for example Nickname torland SocksPort 0 ORPort 9002 ExitRelay 0 ContactInfo keifer dot bly at gmail dot com ExitPolicy reject *:* Change the nickname to what you want your relay to be called, ORPort to what port you are forwarding on, ContactInfo to your email address, etc. Go file -> save then close notepad. Step 8: To start a middle relay, do not click tor.exe as it will not recognize torrc in txt file format. Instead we will use Windows Command Prompt to ask “tor.exe” to read the torcc file. Open cmd, and type “cd”, then a space, then “C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\tor”. This will point command prompt to the directory where tor is. Step 9: in CMD, type “tor.exe -f torrc.txt” This will send a command to tor to read the file called “torrc.txt” in the file directory, and start a relay. Now, I will go to how tonight I was able to start an obfs4 obfscated bridge on Windows (at least to where it says I have a fingerprint and a “registered server transport ‘obfs4’). Step 1: After doing all of the things above, download the tor browser from https://www.torproject.org/download/download Step 2: Install tor browser, then navigate to the folder you installed tor browser to. Step 3: In the folder tor browser was installed to, above the “start tor browser” button, there will be a folder called “Browser”. Open this folder, open “TorBrowser” folder, then open “Tor” folder. Right click the folder called “pluggable transports” and copy / paste it to the “roaming/tor” folder. Step 4: Now to edit the torrc file to run the obfuscated bridge. Here is a somewhat example torrc file (my current one) Nickname torland SOCKSPort 0 # no local SOCKS proxy ORPort 9002 # public bridge must have an open ORPort ExtORPort auto # configure ExtORPort for obfs4proxy ExitPolicy reject *:* # no exits allowed BridgeRelay 1 # relay won't show up in the public consensus PublishServerDescriptor 1 # publish to the bridge authority ContactInfo keifer dot bly at gmail dot com # use obfs4proxy to provide obfs4 on port 80 ServerTransportPlugin obfs4 exec C:\Users\keife\AppData\Roaming\tor\PluggableTransports\obfs4proxy.exe ServerTransportListenAddr obfs4 0.0.0.0:9002. To try running any kind of obfusacted bridge, try editing “ServerTransportPlugin obfs4 exec C:\Users\keife\AppData\Roaming\tor\PluggableTransports\obfs4proxy.exe” to the exe of the pluggable transport you want to run. Doing this, after starting it about an hour ago, has resulted in this output from tor, it is a picture on a google drive link as the list does not allow photos and there is now way to edit copy text from command prompt. Cheers. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1aPVIYox5ZD_JwpqnRGFk-bGxDjRDc_OL --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Fast search for underutilized ASN space?
by Isaac Grover, Aileron I.T. 06 Oct '18

06 Oct '18

Good morning fellow relay operators, I am interested in reaching out to the ISPs in underutilized ASNs to share their acceptance for exit nodes with the relay operator community so that interested parties can set up nodes with those ISPs as they are able. Previously I seem to recall being able to use Atlas to search for fewest exit nodes per both ASN and country but am currently unable to reproduce that functionality in Tor Metrics, Onionoo, or Globe. So before I invest the time in such a project, would there be interest from the relay community in receiving such information? Make your day great, Isaac Grover, Senior I.T.

Running A Tor Relay On Windows 10 (Was Continuing To Run A Relay On Mac OS High Sierra Via Homebrew After A New Mac OS Version Is Released)
by Keifer Bly 05 Oct '18

05 Oct '18

Hello, So adding to the previous discussion, I was not able to run Debian Linux on my machine, or the new Mac OS. What I ended up doing was formatting the hard drive (erasing the OS and all), then did a fresh install of Debian Linux, which after installing failed to load. However, what I then did a fresh install of was Windows 10, and it is successfully up and running. I have my relay fingerprint backed up. If someone could please send me the instructions for running a relay on Windows 10, that would be appreciated. I know I could run a Debian Linux virtual machine, but would rather not have to deal with VMs. Your instructions (or ideas) are appreciated. Thank you.
