SIGHUP signal will clear vanguards

Closed this issue · 4 comments

We need to watch the SIGNAL event for the RELOAD signal, and reapply vanguards on the event of it. Otherwise, when Tor gets HUP signals, we'll lose vanguards.

Does vanguards continue to work in the background when we close terminal?

No. Your two options are to use a systemd service, like the debian/testing package does: https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-privacy-team/vanguards/blob/master/debian/vanguards.service

or use --oneshot_vanguards from an hourly cron script (which only provides you with the path selection defenses, not the dropped cell ones).

Thanks for this. How can I use this with vanguards?

There are vanguards packages in debian/testing which should become the new debian/stable very soon. They should also be available in debian/backports very shortly (for debian 9.0 users).

This issue is fixed in vanguards 0.3.1. If you have packaging issues, file another ticket.
