Re: [tor-relays] New relay questions
Hi, First thanks for operating a new relay and welcome 😀 > The logs report success and the Relay Search shows my relay (Nickname: > code9nRelay) running but the advertised bandwidth is 0 B/s. > It’s been running for 13 hours or so and I see a new relay that has been > running for 1 hour has an advertised bandwidth of 12MiB/s. Your relay being brand new, it has not yet been measured : the network (and your relay itself) has no idea how much bandwidth it's able to handle. During the following days, it will get little to no attention from most clients until it gets better known. For more information on the lifecycle of new relays, I recommend reading https://blog.torproject.org/lifecycle-of-a-new-relay/ . As for the relay you looked at, maybe it restarted recently, but it's likely to be known for some time, and there are good estimations of its available bandwidth. > I had my email address as my first contact then my GPG fingerprint as a > second contact but the fingerprint is displayed not the email.

Or is it just a > matter of waiting for the new info to be taken up? metrics.torproject.org doesn't get informations in real time. First your changes in configuration needs to make it into the consensus, which is an hourly process, and then data has to flow a bit around. It's not abnormal for metrics.tpo to only get updated an hour or two after you made your changes (fwiw, it currently shows both your email and GPG fingerprint).

Re: [tor-relays] New relay questions
Hi, Pete, won't have too much answers (and maybe the bandwith settings from your torrc-file would help). Did you set RelayBandwithRate or "only" BandwithRate? Reloading torrc-settings is better made via pkill -sighup tor since it does not restart the service (disconnecting everyone in the process) but just loads the new config. Email/GPG Settings should have no effect on anything.

[tor-relays] New relay questions
Hi Relay Operators, I am trying to run a non exit relay for the first time and have some questions: FYI, I have 2 virtual CPU s and 1.256 GB RAM with ‘unlimited’ bandwidth on a rented VPS running Debian 11. The logs report success and the Relay Search shows my relay (Nickname: code9nRelay) running but the advertised bandwidth is 0 B/s. It’s been running for 13 hours or so and I see a new relay that has been running for 1 hour has an advertised bandwidth of 12MiB/s. I did set the bandwidth to 100KB/s, then 200KB/s but now it’s just set to run the defaults. Ie Nothing is set. I had my email address as my first contact then my GPG fingerprint as a second contact but the fingerprint is displayed not the email. Now I have it all on one line with the email address first. Which brings me to my main question; when I run systemctl restart tor@default shouldn’t the new settings in the torrc file be used from that point on? Because they don’t seem to be. I have run it after making the changes above and the old settings are still shown on the Relay Search page. Ie 0KB/s and my GPG fingerprint showing as my email address. If this restart doesn’t reset the torrc then what does? Or is it just a matter of waiting for the new info to be taken up? Any one have any thoughts or advice, please?
