![]() ![]() If you run two relays and they have fingerprints AAAAAAAAAA and BBBBBBBB, you would add the following configuration to set MyFamily: MyFamily AAAAAAAAAA,BBBBBBBB The MyFamily setting is simply telling Tor clients what Tor relays are controlled by a single entity/operator/organization, so they are not used in multiple positions in a single circuit. To find your relay's fingerprint you can look into the log files when tor starts up or find the file named "fingerprint" in your tor DataDirectory. Instead of doing so manually, for big operators we recommend to automate the MyFamily setting via a configuration management solution. Optional: Limiting bandwidth usage (and traffic) Manually managing MyFamily for big relay groups is error-prone and can put Tor clients at risk. Tor will not limit its bandwidth usage by default, but supports multiple ways to restrict the used bandwidth and the amount of traffic. The following torrc configuration options can be used to restrict bandwidth and traffic: This can be handy if you want to ensure that your Tor relay does not exceed a certain amount of bandwidth or total traffic per day/week/month. Having a fast relay for some time of the month is preferred over a slow relay for the entire month.Īlso see the bandwidth entry in the FAQ. Vidalia bundle is also in Opensuse extra repos for those looking for an easy way to use installs easily via 1click yast and is nice OS with security updates and linux desktop with gui.We encourage everyone to enable IPv6 on their relays. Patching that with new binaries should be be fairly simple for any MAC enthusiast. I believe this method should work for MAC as well as I see they have dmg image there too. ![]() This is known to work on windows 7,8,8.1,10 and probably xp if for whatever reason your using that still. ![]() ![]() If looking for how to torrify/proxy apps without native socks5 support checkout our tutorial on proxycaps. Now you can use localhost:9050 for any apps you want to proxy with tor via socks 5. Now you can start Vidalia bundle and it should connect to tor and be using latest version of tor with the Vidalia gui. Your directories should look like mine below. Make sure you extract the data directory from the zip into the tor Vidalia directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Vidalia Bundle\Tor) as well as into root of the Vidalia install (C:\Program Files (x86)\Vidalia Bundle) as well This should overwrite the old tor exes and whatnot Now download and unzip this into the directoryĬ:\Program Files (x86)\Vidalia Bundle\Tor To update the tor binary exes we can update tor by grabbing the latest tor expert bundle for windows from their site Which provides an up to date tor install along with the Vidalia gui for easy start stop/change identity options and whatnot and for easy always on proxy support via socks5 for apps like pidgin/electrum/ or whatever you need to torrify. Now that we have the Vidalia gui installed we can update the tor binary exes with the latest version from the tor expert bundle. Once installed do not run it yet if prompted. Now what you want to do is install this Vidalia bundle, but do not install the tor button in options. They signed it as well so feel free to check the file checksum if you’re feeling extra paranoid. Unsure of the reason for the lack of updates, but my tutorial will help you get setup and patch the bundles old tor with the latest version.įirst off for those curious I grabbed the most recent tor Vidalia bundle from their archive. This tutorial will teach you how to setup the tor Vidalia bundle with latest tor exe files so you can easily have an auto start tor Vidalia process/proxy on boot without having to do command line shenanigans with their expert bundle.įirst off I want to state that they for whatever reason no longer provide updates to the windows tor Vidalia bundle since like 2012 which is sad as it’s so helpful. ![]()
