The Tor2webMode torrc option is still required to run a Tor client in
'tor2web mode', but now it can't be turned on at runtime in a normal build
of Tor. (And a tor2web build of Tor can't be used as a normal Tor client,
so we don't have to worry as much about someone distributing packages with
this particular pistol accessible to normal users.)
Comments below focus on changes, see diff for added code.
New type tor_addr_port_t holding an IP address and a TCP/UDP port.
New flag in routerinfo_t, ipv6_preferred. This should go in the
node_t instead but not now.
Replace node_get_addr() with
- node_get_prim_addr() for primary address, i.e. IPv4 for now
- node_get_pref_addr() for preferred address, IPv4 or IPv6.
Rename node_get_addr_ipv4h() node_get_prim_addr_ipv4h() for
consistency. The primary address will not allways be an IPv4 address.
Same for node_get_orport() -> node_get_prim_orport().
Rewrite node_is_a_configured_bridge() to take all OR ports into account.
Extend argument list to extend_info_from_node and
extend_info_from_router with a flag indicating if we want to use the
routers primary address or the preferred address. Use the preferred
address in as few situtations as possible for allowing clients to
connect to bridges over IPv6.
This code handles the new ORPort options, and incidentally makes all
remaining port types use the new port configuration systems.
There are some rough edges! It doesn't do well in the case where your
Address says one thing but you say to Advertise another ORPort. It
doesn't handle AllAddrs. It doesn't actually advertise anything besides
the first listed advertised IPv4 ORPort and DirPort. It doesn't do
port forwarding to them either.
It's not tested either, it needs more documentation, and it probably
forgets to put the milk back in the refrigerator.
Some controllers want this so they can mess with Tor's configuration
for a while via the control port before actually letting Tor out of
the house.
We do this with a new DisableNetwork option, that prevents Tor from
making any outbound connections or binding any non-control
listeners. Additionally, it shuts down the same functionality as
shuts down when we are hibernating, plus the code that launches
directory downloads.
To make sure I didn't miss anything, I added a clause straight to
connection_connect, so that we won't even try to open an outbound
socket when the network is disabled. In my testing, I made this an
assert, but since I probably missed something, I've turned it into a
BUG warning for testing.
This starts an effort to refactor torrc handling code to make it easier
to live with. It makes it possible to override exit policies from the
command line, and possible to override (rather than append to) socksport
lists from the command line.
It'll be necessary to make a "base" torrc implementation work at all.
When running with IOCP, we are in theory able to use userspace-
allocated buffers to avoid filling up the stingy amount of kernel
space allocated for sockets buffers.
The bufferevent_async implementation in Libevent provides this
ability, in theory. (There are likely to be remaining bugs). This
patch adds a new option that, when using IOCP bufferevents, sets
each socket's send and receive buffers to 0, so that we should use
this ability.
When all the bugs are worked out here, if we are right about bug 98,
this might solve or mitigate bug 98.
This option is experimental and will likely require lots of testing
and debugging.
The Right Way to expire an intro point is to establish a new one to
replace it, publish a new descriptor that doesn't list any expiring intro
points, and *then*, once our upload attempts for the new descriptor have
ended (whether in success or failure), close the expiring intro points.
Unfortunately, we can't find out when the new descriptor has actually been
uploaded, so we'll have to settle for a five-minute timer.
There should be no significant behaviour changes due to this commit (only
a log-message change or two), despite the rather massive overhaul, so this
commit doesn't include a changes/ file. (The commit that teaches
intro_point_should_expire_now to return non-zero gets a changes/ file,
though.)
This way, all of the DA operators can upgrade immediately, without nuking
every client's set of entry guards as soon as a majority of them upgrade.
Until enough guards have upgraded, a majority of dirauths should set this
config option so that there are still enough guards in the network. After
a few days pass, all dirauths should use the default.
