Re: [tor-relays] Unwarranted discrimination of relays with dynamic IP

["Alan" <tor-relay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In the UK it depends what ISP your on. Virgin Media gives out static ip's
as far as i know. BT (what i'm using) is dynamic, the ip changes every
time the router reboots. It reboots when it detects a fault which is
normally between 2-4 weeks on average.

These are my relays:

TheCosmos (running on home ip (raspberry pi))

MilkyWay (running on Digital Ocean)
https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/E856ABA2020AA9C483CC2D9B4C878D8D948B0887

Does anyone know what the 'Family Members' does and should my relays have
this set?
