Re: [tor-relays] Testing Golang relay implementation

[Michael McLoughlin <mmcloughlin@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the encouragement Nagaev :)

Yes I am very aware of Tom van der Woerdt's previous work, and I am attempting to avoid some of the problems he faced. This implementation is pure Go, so I will not have cgo-based issues at least.

As I said the project is still far from complete. It implements a minimal subset of the protocol. But I'd like to learn by handling real traffic as soon as I can.

Hey

Thanks for doing that! It came many times to my mind.

There were efforts on implementing Tor relay in Golang before, by
Tom van der Woerdt:
https://github.com/tvdw/gotor
Have you looked at the project?

In his blog post
https://tvdw.eu/blog/2015/01/24/implementing-a-tor-relay-from-scratch/
Tom described some issues he faced with during this work and a list of
lessons learnt.
