Well so the bridge now jumped to being online for 18 days. But despite the torrc it is now saying it's still no distribution mechanism?? Thanks. --Keifer On Tue, Mar 14, 2023 at 10:23 AM Keifer Bly wrote: > Ok, so when this happens, what would be the best command to use for > reading the

Ok, so when this happens, what would be the best command to use for reading the newest tor log? I am also needing this for another relay, my middle relay at https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#search/udeserveprivacy also keeps going offline with no warning and nothing written to the log file.

I do not use any scripts to start tor, I just type tor to start the process on debian. And yes the datacenter I run in has an external firewall which requires setting up port forwarding. The result of running ls -A /var/log/tor root@instance-1:/home/keifer_bly# ls -A /var/log/tor notices.log

Hi, Your torrc is correct wrt to distribution mechanism (your bridge is indicating "bridge-distribution-request any" in the descriptor it sends), but for the record, the line would have been "BridgeDistribution any". A bridge uses less bandwidth than a relay, but it's still a proxy. At 5GB per
