Authorities are no longer voting on Named, so specifying nodes by
nickname isn't a clever thing to do. (Not that it ever was!) So
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.
Closes 13381.
Add the TestingDirAuthVoteExit option, a list of nodes to vote Exit for,
regardless of their uptime, bandwidth, or exit policy.
TestingTorNetwork must be set for this option to have any effect.
Works around an issue where authorities would take up to 35 minutes to
give nodes the Exit flag in a test network, despite short consensus
intervals. Partially implements ticket 13161.
This implements the meat of #12899. This commit should simply remove the
parts of Tor dirauths used to check whether a relay was supposed to be
named or not, it doesn't yet convert to a new mechanism for
reject/invalid/baddir/badexiting relays.
This is in preparation for a big patch series removing the entire Naming
system from Tor. In its wake, the approved-routers file is being
deprecated, and a replacement option to allow only pre-approved routers
is not being implemented.
When we merged the cookieauthfile creation logic in 33c3e60a37, we
accidentally took out this feature. Fixes bug 12864, bugfix on
0.2.5.1-alpha.
Also adds an ExtORPortCookieAuthFileGroupReadable, since there's no
reason not to.
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.
