Re: [tor-relays] Possible problem with NYX

[Nathaniel Suchy <me@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have to decide a balance of usefulness to a legitimate operator and privacy concerns. I could just as easily run Wireshark or TCPDump on my relays and get client IP Addresses that way. You are trusting most operators, like me, are the good guys. Of course a client IP isn’t very useful without a way to associate exit traffic to them.

Cordially,

Hello ops,

Today I noticed something on NYX that I find disturbing.  Page 2 (list
of inbound/outbound connections) showed me the IP address of an inbound
connection on one of my bridges!  Not the authority. This is crazy as
these are indicated as <scrubbed>:port for the users protection!  I have
never seen this before and haven't seen it since.  Of course, on low
usage bridges, the connection IP address can possibly be disseminated
from netstat but that's not the point.  It's my sense that this should
never happen.  I get chills imagining this happening on a guard relay
operated by an antagonist ! !

I'm using the default NYX configuration on Ubuntu server 18.04.1 LTS,
Tor 0.3.3.9.
