Re: [tor-relays] tor-relays Digest, Vol 89, Issue 49

first, Thank you all for you answers and help.
let me make it a bit harder. now, im running a relay which is Guard and Exit relays.
i have defined in my relay(the server that's running the relay in /torrc file) to be "AllowSingleHopExits 1"
and set in my computer that running the TOR(in /torrc file) with the 1(one) hop to:
"ExcludeSingleHopRelays  0"    and
"AllowSingleHopCircuits  1"
so now every thing needs to be ok right?
but, still its not working

 I'm testing few things in Tor and I noticed that if im changing(from the
source code) the number of hop's(nodes) to be more then 3 hop's it work's
fine(slowly,  but still working) and if im sting only 2 hop's its still
works great. but, when i'm setting only 1 hop, i can open the Tor-browser
but i can't use it(Tor-browser) to visit site(regular site or onion site
too). so im thinking maybe the Tor-network have protected from users who
are using 1 hop?

I guess it's part of the DoS protection recently implemented. My guard
relay DoS statistics in the heartbeat log entry:

[notice] DoS mitigation since startup: 0 circuits killed with too many
cells. 232704 circuits rejected, 15 marked addresses. 2939 connections
closed. 1534 single hop clients refused.

Yes.

Even before the DoS mitigation stuff, relays wouldn't allow themselves
to be used as the only hop in a circuit. Apparently this affects onion
service circuits too.

If you want a single-hop proxy, then you don't want Tor.

How does a relay know if there is another relay in the circuit? What
if the attacker runs a "relay" locally?

Right. Relays protect themselves from being used as one-hop proxies,
because it could make life harder for the operators:

"Currently there is no reason to suspect that investigating a single
relay will yield user-destination pairs, but if many people are using
only a single hop, we make it more likely that attackers will seize or
break into relays in hopes of tracing users."

The way a client connects to a relay and the way a relay connects to
another relay is different.

Technically the attacker/user could run a relay/bridge locally and
connect to that before the remote relay, creating a 2-hop circuit that
**might** have performance similar to a 1-hop circuit.
