I have seen similar reports from a few other relay operators.

What is your relay fingerprint?

Have you followed the troubleshooting instructions here:

The screenshot that has "torrc" and not "torrc.txt" is where I am using the
built in torrc file, thank you.

Hey, so here is something I have noticed. I ran tor.exe via CMD (Windows
version of terminal). I wrote this to the torrc:



SOCKSPort 0# no local SOCKS proxy



ORPort 80# public bridge must have an open ORPort



ExtORPort auto # configure ExtORPort for obfs4proxy



ExitPolicy reject *:*  # no exits allowed



BridgeRelay 1  # relay won't show up in the public consensus



PublishServerDescriptor 1  # publish to the bridge authority





# use obfs4proxy to provide obfs4 on port 9003, 443



ServerTransportPlugin obfs4 exec
C:\Users\keife\Desktop\TotBrowser\Browser\TorBrowser\Tor\PluggableTransports\obfs4proxy.exe



ServerTransportListenAddr obfs4 127.0.0.1:8080



ContactInfo keifer@gmail.com



Then did tor.exe -f torrc.txt (including the file directories and all) and
it worked, tor launched and red the configuration file, but when using the
built in torrc file, this in turn caused tor browser to crash on start, see
the screenshot:



However, when I created my own torrc.txt file then started from there, it
worked, and tor browser also did not crash on start:



Though it did get stuck on loading  (probably due to the tor process
already being in use in all). This is problem attic is what I am trying to
do is have tor browser start, automatically installing updates (thus
automatically updating tor and obfs4 as a result) then start the bridge). I
guess I would want to have a torrc that could not be overwritten anyway,
but having tor browser and tor running via terminal seemed to cause issues.
Is there a way to configure tor browser to automatically install updates on
start? If so, I could write a script to start tor browser, close it after a
few minutes then start the relay when windows loads possibly.


Sending screenshots so you can see when tor browser crashes and does not
crash.



Thank you.

[tor-relays] Low bandwidth

[ha3ks]

Hi my relay dropped nearly all it’s bandwidth about a month ago, checking over 
it I can see 3 of the dir auths have given it a low consensus weighting, would 
that cause low bandwidth numbers?

I checked my ufw in Ubuntu and it’s allowing 443 and 80.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Dan

It's important that you follow these instructions precisely:
* give tor the path to the obfs4 executable file
* quote the path with double quote characters "like this"
* do not delete spaces, the path without spaces is a different path

If that doesn't work:
* double each backslash character like this: \\

If that doesn't work:
* run tor in a terminal, and send us your logs

We seem to be reaching the limits of your experience.

Perhaps there's some other way you can learn about file
paths on Windows and Linux? And processes? And
software updates?

I'm not sure we're the best people to learn system
administration from. Perhaps a beginners sysadmin
mailing list, chat, or course could help?

Wherever you put the keys, it wasn't where Tor was expecting them.
These logs show that your bridge couldn't find any keys.
