Hello there.I see on every exit node I check on the metrics page, a massive bump in bandwidth used without a change in exit probability.I just checked the metrics page for the relay I operate (791E637A38C715336290E8AC0EB6C99BD02A5F0E) and I noticed a bump similar to the one from FDAA4F76F778215F02B0B02DCE8E8504179BCDC6. However, my relay is not and has never been an exit relay. Also, it looks like the data changed retroactively: I usually check the metrics about once a day and I'm sure I would have noticed the peak of 26/02 the day after - I mean, it is a more than x3 increment from the day before (that also had the highest value ever until then). Should I worry about that? And should I report my own relay to the bad-relays mailing list?
No, it's fine. I am not sure yet what the problem is but I suspect it's a bug in one of our recent code changes. See:
https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/network-health/metrics/onionoo/-/issues/40022#note_2783524for more details. We've reverted that change for now and things should normalize again assuming the traffic increase you see is indeed related to it.

Thanks for the help.

Is this perhaps an attacker squeezing the bandwidth of the network so people are more likely to use their malicious nodes?_______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
