one of the underlying core issues is the lack of metrics data for relay operators. I filed the following feature requests to change this: provide DNS health metrics for tor exit relay operators https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/31290 non-public relay health metrics for operators

Moin I just played a bit with the sources of this test system. At first I didn't get it work, but then I changed the hard coded guard to one of my own and voila .. I picked an exit with an error rate of 100%: 0FF233C8D78A17B8DB7C8257D2E05CD5AA7C6B88 .. the test resultet in many many

I can't really understand why our relays should fail so often because the logs of our DNS daemon don't show anything and I haven't seen the warning about nameservers that failed for a long time... Maybe the script that checks about DNS failures on Exits is not reporting correctly? Greetings

Dear Exit relay operators, first of all thanks for running exit relays! One of the crucial service that you provide in addition to forwarding TCP streams is DNS resolution for tor clients. Exit relays which fail to resolve hostnames are barely useful for tor clients. We noticed that lately
