We now provide our mirrors as an onion service!

Dotsrc is now hosting Tor exit nodes!

Thanks to DeiC for being LIR and upstream, and to Henrik Kramselund for letting us use some of his IPv4 addresses.

More information about the relays can be found here.

Dotsrc have been running fast Tor relay nodes for the last couple of years. Last year we began testing if we could operate Exit nodes as well, and did so for about two months. The vast majority of exit traffic is of course benign, but there’s also some malicious traffic which our ISP wasn’t too happy about. Since then we have had quite a few meetings and long email threads looking into possible solutions. [Read More]

We have successfully moved to new location and mirrors.dotsrc.org should be up and running. Please write us on staff@dotsrc.org if you do not think this is the case and we will take a look :) Note that one of our virtualization servers still is down at the time of writing, see this post. Thanks to Aalborg University for supplying us with one more server, assistance, and still accomodating us. Below are some pictures of the move, we will spare you the details. [Read More]

The time has come for dotsrc to move our servers from our current server room at Aalborg University to a new one. The old locations had been decommissioned and were no longer maintained. Without adequate cooling, the servers have begun to behave rather strangely. Thus the relocation has been expedited.

We hope that all services are up and running again during Thursday afternoon.

After a hard disk failure on one of our virtualization servers, the following services have been down since 2021-05-02 10:20:07:

• Website
• Tor relay
• LineageOS build server
• OpenStreetMap tile server

As a temporary measure the website has been moved to Gitlab pages until the issues have been resolved.

Our ISP DeiC has decided to ban hosting of Tor exit nodes directly on the Danish national research and education network.

All hope is not lost - we’re still working with DeiC to find a solution.

In the meanwhile, please consider running a Tor node yourself (exit if you can, non-exit otherwise). Check out the Tor Relay Guide to get started.
