This replaces the current 3072 bit RSA certificates with 384 bit ECDSA
certificates. The advantage is these certificates are smaller and
essentially instantaneous to generate. According to RFC4492 (ECC Cipher
Suites for TLS), Table 1: Comparable Key Sizes, ECC has comparable
strength to 3072 bit RSA at 283 bits - so we exceed that.
There is no compatibility issue with existing Syncthing code - this is
verified by the integration test ("h2" instance has the new
certificate).
There are browsers out there that don't understand ECC certificates yet,
although I think they're dying out. In the meantime, I've retained the
RSA code for the HTTPS certificate, but pulled it down to 2048 bits. I
don't think a higher security level there is motivated, is this matches
current industry standard for HTTPS certificates.
- Move to ipinfo.io for geoip, rather than Telize. Telize has been closed
down. ipinfo.io has apparently got decent availability, and allows
1,000 requests per day on the free tier. Since requests are made by the
client, this should be more than enough (and the total across all clients
should still be less than this).
- Fix issue where one nonresponsive relay would cause 'data unavailable'
to be shown for many relays. This was caused by the relay status
promise not being correctly added to the list of things being waited
for before the map was rendered. Any delayed relay status requests
would therefore occur after the map was rendered, which was too late.
Knowing why a relay server failed to join the pool can be important. This
is typically an issue which must be investigated after it occurred, so
having logs available is useful.
Running with -debug permanently enabled is impractical, due to the amount
of traffic that is generated, particularly when data is being transferred.
Logging is limited to at most one message per minute, although one message
per hour is more likely.
This allows relaysrv to listen on an unprivileged port, with port
forwarding directing traffic from 443, thus providing an alternative
to using setcap cap_net_bind_service=+ep
We're going to need the db.Instance to keep some state, and for that to
work we need the same one passed around everywhere. Hence this moves the
leveldb-specific file opening stuff into the db package and exports the
dbInstance type.
'AlwaysLocalNets' was getting printed, but was getting used
when setting up connections. Now, the nets that should be
considered local are printed and used.
