 circ_max_megabytes = 8

 My site is less than 4MB so above config is okay.

 I thought vanguards only applies this limit to:
 1. My onion service <--- Tor user (incoming)
 2. My onion service ---> Tor user (outgoing)


 However your vanguards is breaking other connections such as:
 1. apt with Tor[1]
 2. wget download over Tor to clearnet site
 3. curl POST something over Tor to clearnet site


 Problem 1. I don't want to stop vanguards just for apt and other thing.
 Problem 2. I don't want to increase circ_max value just for this.


 So could you please add a switch to limit only my-onion-site related
 connection and ignore else?

 say,

 {{{
 # If true, vanguards will not apply max_mega limit non-onion connections.
 # If false(default) vanguards will apply max_mega limit to all Tor
 connections.
 # If your circ_max_megabytes is already 0, this settings does nothing.
 circ_max_mega_ignore_clearnet_destination = true
 }}}
