From 6856b82bdcd61ea25cac8bc64a9114d908e6ea9e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Asbj=C3=B8rn=20Sloth=20T=C3=B8nnesen?= Date: Mon, 6 Sep 2021 18:13:20 +0000 Subject: space_server: add dedicated VLAN for Tor exit nodes MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Move the Tor exit nodes to their own VLAN, and their own address space. Background for move ------------------- For the first Tor exit node, we where able to create inet6num object 2a01:4262:1ab:20::71/128. So we could assign a specific Tor abuse contact. When we added the second node it was no longer possible to create /128 inet6num objects, but only up to /64. We therefore need to move our Tor exit nodes to a dedicated address space. Connection tracking ------------------- Connection tracking is quite expensive, so it's better to only do it for Tor traffic, when we actually need it, which is only when internal clients need to access the servers. In the future conntrack could also be disabled for labicolo in general.
