I don't know whether we missed these or misclassified them when we
first made the "DIRECTORY AUTHORITY SERVER OPTIONS" section, but they
really belong there.
If we can't detect the physical memory, the new default is 8 GB on
64-bit architectures, and 1 GB on 32-bit architectures.
If we *can* detect the physical memory, the new default is
CLAMP(256 MB, phys_mem * 0.75, MAX_DFLT)
where MAX_DFLT is 8 GB on 64-bit architectures and 2 GB on 32-bit
architectures.
You can still override the default by hand. The logic here is simply
trying to choose a lower default value on systems with less than 12 GB
of physical RAM.
This means that tor can run without needing to communicate with ioctls
to the firewall, and therefore doesn't need to run with privileges to
open the /dev/pf device node.
A new TransProxyType is added for this purpose, "pf-divert"; if the user
specifies this TransProxyType in their torrc, then the pf device node is
never opened and the connection destination is determined with getsockname
(as per pf(4)). The default behaviour (ie., when TransProxyType is "default"
when using the pf firewall) is still to assume that pf is configured with
rdr-to rules.
This isn't on by default; to get it, you need to set "TransProxyType
ipfw". (The original patch had automatic detection for whether
/dev/pf is present and openable, but that seems marginally fragile.)
We are searching @CONFDIR@ before $HOME, but the documentation
implied otherwise.
I screwed this up in f5e86bcd6c, when I
first documented the $HOME/.torrc possibility.
Fix for bug 9213; bugfix on 0.2.3.18-rc.
The build was broken by changes in f8c45339f7, but we didn't
notice, since that commit also made torify.1 only get built when
tor-fw-helper was turned on.
Fixes bug 11321; bugfix on Tor 0.2.5.1-alpha.
In the end this required a slightly nasty hack using a dummy anchor as
an option heading in order to make the "Other recognized __flags__"
line indent properly.
Fixes bug 11061; Bugfix on 61d740ed.
We have ignored any ports listed here since 80365b989 (0.0.7rc1),
but we didn't warn the user that we were ignoring them. This patch
adds a warning if you put explicit ports in any of the options
{Socks,Dir}Policy or AuthDir{Reject,Invalid,BadDir,BadExit}. It
also adjusts the manpage to say that ports are ignored.
Fixes ticket 11108.
These options were added back in 0.1.2.5-alpha, but no longer make any
sense now that all directories support tunneled connections and
BEGIN_DIR cells. These options were on by default; now they are
always-on.
This is a fix for 10849, where TunnelDirConns 0 would break hidden
services -- and that bug arrived, I think, in 0.2.0.10-alpha.
(There is no longer meaningfully any such thing as a HS authority,
since we stopped uploading or downloading v0 hs descriptors in
0.2.2.1-alpha.)
Implements #10881, and part of #10841.
Explicitly include bridges, and note that we archive and publish all
descriptors.
(We are not yet publishing ContactInfo lines contained in bridge
descriptors, but maybe we'll want to do that soon, so let's err on the
side of caution here.)
Related to #9854.
According to the manpage, bridges use P256 for conformity and relays
use P224 for speed. But skruffy points out that we've gotten it
backwards in the code.
In this patch, we make the default P256 for everybody.
Fixes bug 9780; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha.
For now, round down to the nearest 10 minutes. Later, eliminate entirely by
setting a consensus parameter.
(This rounding is safe because, in 0.2.2, where the timestamp mattered,
REND_REPLAY_TIME_INTERVAL was a nice generous 60 minutes.)
This implements "algorithm 1" from my discussion of bug #9072: on OOM,
find the circuits with the longest queues, and kill them. It's also a
fix for #9063 -- without the side-effects of bug #9072.
The memory bounds aren't perfect here, and you need to be sure to
allow some slack for the rest of Tor's usage.
This isn't a perfect fix; the rest of the solutions I describe on
codeable.
doc/TODO and doc/spec/README were placeholders to tell people where to
look for the real TODO and README stuff -- we replaced them years ago,
though.
authority-policy, v3-authority-howto, and torel-design.txt belong in
torspec. I'm putting them in attic there since I think they may be in
large part obsolete, but someone can rescue them if they're not.
translations.txt is outdated, and refers to lots of programs other
than Tor. We have much better translation resources on the website
now.
tor-win32-mingw-creation.txt is pending review of a revised version
for 0.2.5 (see ticket #4520), but there's no reason to ship this one
while we're waiting for an accurate version.
the tor-rpm-creation.txt isn't obsolete AFAIK, but it belongs in
doc/contrib if anywhere.
Resolves bug #8965.
A new option TestingV3AuthVotingStartOffset is added which offsets the
starting time of the voting interval. This is possible only when
TestingTorNetwork is set.
This patch makes run_scheduled_events() check for new consensus
downloads every second when TestingTorNetwork, instead of every
minute. This should be fine, see #8532 for reasoning.
This patch also brings MIN_VOTE_SECONDS and MIN_DIST_SECONDS down from
20 to 2 seconds, unconditionally. This makes sanity checking of
misconfiguration slightly less sane.
Addresses #8532.
- Avoid control_event_refill_global function with 13 arguments and
increase code reuse factor by moving more code from control.c to
connection.c.
- Avoid an unsafe uint32_t -> int cast.
- Add TestingEnableTbEmptyEvent option.
- Prepare functions for testing.
- Rename a few functions and improve documentation.
- Move cell_command_to_string from control.c to command.c.
- Use accessor for global_circuitlist instead of extern.
- Add a struct for cell statistics by command instead of six arrays.
- Split up control_event_circuit_cell_stats by using two helper functions.
- Add TestingEnableCellStatsEvent option.
- Prepare functions for testing.
- Rename a few variables and document a few things better.
Now the manpages no longer refer to tsocks or tsocks.conf, and we no
longer have or ship a tor-tsocks.conf. The only remaining instances
of "tsocks" in our repository are old ChangeLog and ReleaseNotes
entries, and the torify script saying that it doesn't support tsocks.
Fixes bug 8290.
Also, deprecate the torrc options for the scaling values. It's unlikely anyone
but developers will ever tweak them, even if we provided a single ratio value.
Instead of hardcoding the minimum fraction of possible paths to 0.6, we
take it from the user, and failing that from the consensus, and
failing that we fall back to 0.6.
This is ticket 7706, reported by "bugcatcher." The rationale here
is that if somebody says 'ExcludeNodes {tv}', then they probably
don't just want to block definitely Tuvaluan nodes: they also want
to block nodes that have unknown country, since for all they know
such nodes are also in Tuvalu.
This behavior is controlled by a new GeoIPExcludeUnknown autobool
option. With the default (auto) setting, we exclude ?? and A1 if
any country is excluded. If the option is 1, we add ?? and A1
unconditionally; if the option is 0, we never add them.
(Right now our geoip file doesn't actually seem to include A1: I'm
including it here in case it comes back.)
This feature only takes effect if you have a GeoIP file. Otherwise
you'd be excluding every node.
The right way to set "MaxOnionsPending" was to adjust it until the
processing delay was appropriate. So instead, let's measure how long
it takes to process onionskins (sampling them once we have a big
number), and then limit the queue based on its expected time to
finish.
This change is extra-necessary for ntor, since there is no longer a
reasonable way to set MaxOnionsPending without knowing what mix of
onionskins you'll get.
This patch also reserves 1/3 of the onionskin spots for ntor
handshakes, on the theory that TAP handshakes shouldn't be allowed to
starve their speedier cousins. We can change this later if need be.
Resolves 7291.
With an IPv6 virtual address map, we can basically hand out a new
IPv6 address for _every_ address we connect to. That'll be cool, and
will let us maybe get around prop205 issues.
This uses some fancy logic to try to make the code paths in the ipv4
and the ipv6 case as close as possible, and moves to randomly
generated addresses so we don't need to maintain those stupid counters
that will collide if Tor restarts but apps don't.
Also has some XXXX items to fix to make this useful. More design
needed.
This replaces the old FallbackConsensus notion, and should provide a
way -- assuming we pick reasonable nodes! -- to give clients
suggestions of placs to go to get their first consensus.
See #4771 for rationale.
Note that this patch does not take suggested changes in #4470 into
account and keeps treating AuthDirHasIPv6Connectivity as an
AUTOBOOL. Thus, bug fixes for that are included here as well.
This is a fix on master, unreleased as of now.
Add ClientUseIPv6 and ClientPreferIPv6ORPort configuration options.
Use "preferred OR port" for all entry nodes, not only for bridges.
Mark bridges with "prefer IPv6 OR port" if an IPv6 address is
configured in Bridge line and ClientPreferIPv6ORPort is set.
Mark relays with "prefer IPv6 OR port" if an IPv6 address is found in
descriptor and ClientPreferIPv6ORPort is set.
Filter "preferred OR port" through the ClientUseIPv6 config option. We
might want to move this test to where actual connection is being set
up once we have a fall back mechanism in place.
Have only non-servers pick an IPv6 address for the first hop: We
don't want relays to connect over IPv6 yet. (IPv6 has never been used
for second or third hops.)
Implements ticket 5535.
This is important, since otherwise an attacker can use timing info
to probe the internal network.
Also, add an option (ExtendAllowPrivateAddresses) so that
TestingTorNetwork won't break.
Fix for bug 6710; bugfix on all released versions of Tor.
This gives us a few benefits:
1) make -j clean all
this will start working, as it should. It currently doesn't.
2) increased parallel build
recursive make will max out at number of files in a directory,
non-recursive make doesn't have such a limitation
3) Removal of duplicate information in make files,
less error prone
I've also slightly updated how we call AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, as the way
that was used was not only deprecated but will be *removed* in the next
major automake release (1.13).... so probably best that we can continue
to bulid tor without requiring old automake.
(see http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Public-Macros.html )
For more reasons why, see resources such as:
http://miller.emu.id.au/pmiller/books/rmch/
This makes the V=1 or V=0 automake silent build options display (or hide)
the full command line used.
GEN foo.bar
will be seen rather than the full command.
As with all automake silent rules, "make V=1" will output the full command.
This is based on a pair of patches from A. Costa. I couldn't apply
those directly, since they changed the generated *roff files, not
the asciidoc source.
Fixes Tor bug 6500 and Debian bug 683359.
Test for config option AuthDirPublishIPv6 == 1 rather than for running
as a bridge authority when deciding whether to care or not about IPv6
OR ports in descriptors.
Implements enhancement #6406.
The defense counts the circuit failure rate for each guard for the past N
circuits. Failure is defined as the ability to complete a first hop, but not
finish completing the circuit all the way to the exit.
If the failure rate exceeds a certain amount, a notice is emitted.
If it exceeds a greater amount, a warn is emitted and the guard is disabled.
These values are governed by consensus parameters which we intend to tune as
we perform experiments and statistical simulations.
Nearly everywhere, we end options with "(Default: foo)". But in a
few places, we inserted an extra period after or before the close
parenthesis, and in a few other places we said "(Defaults to foo)".
Let's not do that.
This feature can make Tor relays less identifiable by their use of the
mod_ssl DH group, but at the cost of some usability (#4721) and bridge
tracing (#6087) regressions.
We should try to turn this on by default again if we find that the
mod_ssl group is uncommon and/or we move to a different DH group size
(see #6088). Before we can do so, we need a fix for bugs #6087 and
Resolves ticket #5598 for now.
