Hi Guys,
I am getting to 45% and no further with the Bootstrapping… ( Getting killed on Tor failures over the last month or so… 
)
50% of the time Logs show ( after the 45% bootstrap stage ):
Received http status code 404 (“Not found”) from server …
Trying to diagnose this online its saying that"
“Tor selects this server from its hardcoded fallback directory list. In your version (0.4.8.9, released ~2023), this list is outdated. By 2025, many fallbacks have changed configurations, retired, or stopped serving certain resources, leading to 404s”
The other 50% of the time the logs show:
“I learned some more directory information, but not enough to build a circuit: We need more microdescriptors: we have 0/8915, and can only build 0% of likely paths. (We have 0% of guards bw, 0% of midpoint bw, and 0% of end bw (no exits in consensus, using mid) = 0% of path bw.)”
FYI I have done dozens of Tor resets and/or Wipes as well as full server cold restarts and no joy - this happened before and I was Tor was done for days on end,
Couple of Questions:
- How up to date is the Tor Directory list if the version of Tor is from ~2023 with the current latest StartOS?
- Is there a set of Steps that I should be running via SSH into the Env to update default timeouts; or view the logs that Tor’s logs suggest such as:
2a. [notice] Read configuration file “/usr/share/tor/tor-service-defaults-torrc”.
2b. [notice] Read configuration file “/etc/tor/torrc”.
Aside: Bootstrapping timeout is set to 30seconds which doesn’t appear to be enough time to complete the Bootstrapping the majority of the time; is there a reason its so tight?
