Re: [tor-relays] Reasons to avoid being a guard? (was: Middle relay)



I am curious about possible reasons, why one wouldn't want to become guard. Are there any risks or disadvantages that come with the guard flag?

Add the following to your .torrc file:

ExitPolicy reject *:*
It's non-exit, not a "middle-only" relay. Jim probably doesn't want to
become a Guard. I'm not aware of such option.

btw, we've recently discussed in #19625 [1] possibility of setting
"peering policy". If this would be implemented one can restrict
connections only to relays in consensus (but not bridges?).
