Tor relay node back in business
When a leased server has bandwidth to spare, I try to give it to the tor network. Project servers come and go, but I am happy to report that my relay node is back in business.

Looks like client functionality is working. Aug 5 14:45:49 droid Tor[8966]: Bootstrapped 100%: Done Aug 5 14:45:49 droid Tor[8966]: Now checking whether ORPort 94.130.31.206:443 and DirPort 94.130.31.206:80 are reachable... (this may take up to 20 minutes -- look for log messages indicating success) Aug 5 14:45:49 droid Tor[8966]: Self-testing indicates your DirPort is reachable from the outside. Excellent. Aug 5 14:45:50 droid Tor[8966]: Self-testing indicates your ORPort is reachable from the outside. Excellent. Publishing server descriptor. Aug 5 14:45:51 droid Tor[8966]: Performing bandwidth self-test...done.
(And it is all the server does at this time, the project work is still on the todo list 😉
I thought fixing the tor relay today would be a good thing as I am wearing my tor shirt at #sha2017
