Dear Keifer, I run a small relay at home as well. (I've never had more than 4,000/4,500 connections, and my home router seems to have had no problem.) However, guessing from the tor docs on my ISP that I should keep my monthly throughput to 1TB or so, I put some daily bandwidth limits on it.

Thank you. However another thing that is confusing me a little is that based off of my research, relays without the stable flag shouldn’t recurve much traffic; mine says it’s received a few gigabytes since the downtime 1 day ago. Thank you. It is acceptable not to have the stable flag and still

Maybe that’s it, unfortunately I have nowhere else I can possibly run it. What’s also not helpful is our electrical service isn’t good as it goes out every time there is some bad weather, which does not help. I guess not every relay has the stable flag, would be curious to know what the general

Thank you. I am just a little confused as I seem to get the stable flag randomly, sometimes after 2 days, sometimes after 4 days, sometimes longer; what I'm saying is it seems completely random. My relay appears to be under " maatuska", despite this I seem to get the stable after various numbers of

My apologies if I seem worried, I am not trying to sound that way at all, just trying to understand how all of this works. On https://consensus-health.torproject.org/, I found this information. I am curious, where it says stable-uptime=, the following number is in minutes correct? Thank you. Kn

Hi, You talked about using homebrew to automatically update tor. How do you launch tor? Des homebrew restart tor when it is updated? Because tor doesn't update to the new version until you restart it. > On 22 Apr 2018, at 11:06, Keifer Bly wrote: > > Thank you. And I’m not asking for a for sur

Thank you. And I’m not asking for a for sure response, just generally what you think, would an about 40 minute downtime (what I had this morning) majorly effect my time between failures after about 106 hours of solid uptime? Sorry to keep emailing but trying to keep my relay as useful as possib

Hello, I am wondering, could you please explain exactly what “Consensus Weight” is? I had had a good uptime, about five days, then my darn computer that I run my relay off of froze for about 40 minutes this morning and I had no choice but to reboot the tor software, setting my current uptime
