Blogpost: Update Mai 2022
📢 Exit relay operators, we need you to upgrade to Tor 0.4.7.7 as soon as possible! This is the first stable Tor release with support for congestion control, which will result in significant performance improvements for users. Upgrade to 0.4.7.7 now.
Nebenbei sank die Leistungsaufnahme von 330W auf 240W. Nun schauen wir u.a. noch, wie Bandbreite und Temperatur bei 2,45 GHz aussehen.
@kantorkel @utzer Ist leider nicht gerade exzessiv dokumentiert, weil es bislang eine Anwender*in gibt, uns. Fragen/Anmerkungen/Issues sehr willkommen!
@kantorkel @utzer Ausserdem haben wir dieses Playbook, was unsere Server fast komplett (bis auf Monitoring) konfiguriert: https://github.com/alxndr42/playbook-tor
Die Frage "War IP-Adresse X an Tag Y ein Tor Relay?" lässt sich mit Hilfe des Exonerator Service beantworten: https://metrics.torproject.org/exonerator.html
Die IP-Adressen unserer Middle und Exit Relays veröffentlichen wir auf unserer Homepage: https://artikel10.org/dienste/tor-relays/
Wir betreiben nun (non-exit) #Tor-Knoten in 185.220.101.224/28.
#Webex, #Zoom etc know your activities while muted. Researchers intercepted network traffic and analysed audio data WHILE USERS WERE MUTED. They trained a classifier and could identify typical background activities like cooking, cleaning, typing.
I don’t share the idea of the researchers by the way that a mic that can pick up cooking sound shouldn’t be able to pick up bathroom sound, too. 😜 (sounds rather like an American approach to this question)
Wir haben heute unseren #Tor Server in Berlin getauscht, daher gab es eine größere Downtime.
As of last night, I am running a Tor bridge on a cheap VPS. According to these metrics, that seems like a pretty effective way of enabling Internet access for Russians.
https://metrics.torproject.org/userstats-bridge-table.html
While the setup was dead easy, following the official guide, I took pains to pay attention and figure out what I am actually doing. Took me about four hours including docs, prep, and cleanup.
In the first 12 hours of its operation, my bridge already served 25 unique clients with thousands of connections.
