23b088907f Refuse to make direct connections to private OR addresses
Refuse connection requests to private OR addresses unless
ExtendAllowPrivateAddresses is set. Previously, tor would
connect, then refuse to send any cells to a private address.

Original bug 6710, released in 0.2.3.21-rc and an 0.2.2 maint
release.

These options were removed from tor in July. Time to axe them from our man
page. :P

1193647ac8 Replace 'SOCKSPort' with 'SocksPort'
When applying changes from proposal 171 Nick renamed SocksPort to SOCKSPort,
and SocksListenAddress to SOCKSListenAddress...

  https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/commit/?id=891ccd3cd0690e83f1dc4dde7698c3bd9d7fe98d

However, this didn't change the option itself in tor (it's still SocksPort),
and wasn't even uniform in the man page. Functionally this doesn't matter
(tor's config options are case insensitive) but this is a pretty clear
regression.

When logging to syslog, allow a tag to be added to the syslog identity
("Tor"), i.e. the string prepended to every log message.  The tag can be
configured by setting SyslogIdentityTag and defaults to none.  Setting
it to "foo" will cause logs to be tagged as "Tor-foo".  Closes: #17194.

Update the definition of the private exit policy in the man page
and torrcs. It didn't get merged correctly into the man page, and
it was incomplete in the torrcs. (Unfortunately, we only reject the
primary configured IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, not all configured IPv4

098b82c7b2 ExitPolicyRejectPrivate rejects local IPv6 address and interface addresses
ExitPolicyRejectPrivate now rejects more local addresses by default:
 * the relay's published IPv6 address (if any), and
 * any publicly routable IPv4 or IPv6 addresses on any local interfaces.

This resolves a security issue for IPv6 Exits and multihomed Exits that
trust connections originating from localhost.

d3358a0a05 ExitPolicy accept6/reject6 produces IPv6 wildcard addresses only
In previous versions of Tor, ExitPolicy accept6/reject6 * produced
policy entries for IPv4 and IPv6 wildcard addresses.

To reduce operator confusion, change accept6/reject6 * to only produce
an IPv6 wildcard address.

359faf5e4b New TestingDirAuthVote{Exit,Guard,HSDir}IsStrict flags
"option to prevent guard,exit,hsdir flag assignment"

"A node will never receive the corresponding flag unless
that node is specified in the
TestingDirAuthVote{Exit,Guard,HSDir} list, regardless of
its uptime, bandwidth, exit policy, or DirPort".

Patch modified by "teor": VoteOnHidServDirectoriesV2
is now obsolete, so TestingDirAuthVoteHSDir always
votes on HSDirs.

0cb82013cc Fix TestingDirAuthVoteHSDir docs: HSDir flag needs DirPort
Fix an error in the manual page and comments for
TestingDirAuthVoteHSDir, which suggested that a
HSDir required "ORPort connectivity". While this is true,
it is in no way unique to the HSDir flag. Of all the flags,
only HSDirs need a DirPort configured in order for the
authorities to assign that particular flag.

Fixed as part of 14882. Patch by "teor".

When set, this limits the maximum number of simultaneous streams per

This can be modified via "HiddenServiceMaxStreamsCloseCircuit", which
if set will cause offending rendezvous circuits to be torn down instead.

f9d57473e1 Create TestingDirAuthVoteHSDir like TestingDirAuthVoteExit/Guard
TestingDirAuthVoteHSDir ensures that authorities vote the HSDir flag
for the listed relays regardless of uptime or ORPort connectivity.
Respects the value of VoteOnHidServDirectoriesV2.

Partial fix for bug 14067.

35efce1f3f Add an ExitRelay option to override ExitPolicy
If we're not a relay, we ignore it.

If it's set to 1, we obey ExitPolicy.

If it's set to 0, we force ExitPolicy to 'reject *:*'

And if it's set to auto, then we warn the user if they're running an
exit, and tell them how they can stop running an exit if they didn't
mean to do that.

This allows hidden services to disable the anti-scanning feature
introduced in 0.2.6.2-alpha. With this option not set, a connection
to an unlisted port closes the circuit.  With this option set, only
a RELAY_DONE cell is sent.

 2. number of .onion addresses observed as hidden-service
    directory.

Both statistics are accumulated over 24 hours, obfuscated by rounding
up to the next multiple of a given number and adding random noise,
and written to local file stats/hidserv-stats.

Notably, no statistics will be gathered on clients or services, but
only on relays.

Authorities are no longer voting on Named, so specifying nodes by

remove the documentation that suggests that you should do it.

Additionally, add proper cross-references to our __node__ lists, and
explain about the optional $ before identity digests.

Also, the oxford comma: endorsed by Steven Pinker, my spouse, and my
11th grade English teacher.

17ecd04fde Change the logic for the default for MaxMemInQueues
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.

f680d0fdd2 Educate tor on OpenBSD's use of divert-to rules with the pf firewall.
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.
