Re: [tor-relays] Why is my Tor bridge relay not getting any traffic?

Thanks a lot. So is it normal to have little traffic when in bridge mode? But why is reported speed so slow? And why is it reporting 0 unique clients even though my monitor connects to it? I forgot to add the monitor code, here it is: #!/bin/bash if [[ $(curl --socks5 localhost:90 --socks5

Re: [tor-relays] Why is my Tor bridge relay not getting any traffic?

You don't connect to your bridge, you connect to the tor network if you use the socks5. So yes, the check passes, because it's being sent over the tor network, not using your bridge but using tor's socks5 proxy. Also in your config you have set the socks port to 9031, but in this line of code

Re: [tor-relays] Why is my Tor bridge relay not getting any traffic?

I still haven't been able to rid myself of the Iranian servers revealed on the NYX connections page.I don't know their purpose but they slow the relay by about 85%. I have dropped them in the iptable input chain, restarted the VPS, but they show up after a day or two in spite. Today there

Re: [tor-relays] Why is my Tor bridge relay not getting any traffic?

So, it's just that few people receive my bridge from BridgeDB. So it's a guard relay, right? What am I lacking to receive a guard flag? And what about being a middle relay? Shouldn't it be used more frequently in this mode? I have obfs3 and obfs4 enabled, but I've never tested them. And neve

Re: [tor-relays] Why is my Tor bridge relay not getting any traffic?

a got it! so that's why my monitor isn't counted lol I'll get a Tor Browser running to test it later then, and also its speed. On 28/08/2019 12:22 AM, Roger Dingledine wrote: On Tue, Aug 27, 2019 at 11:22:33PM +0200, Tor Patatje wrote: You don't connect to your bridge, you connect to the
