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

["Rana" <ranaventures@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Netgear Ready for the constructive approach. Here is my torrc (nickname redacted). There is no hidden service running on the Pi and no connections to the transparent proxy (its respective wifi interface is down). The Pi is doing nothing except the Tor relay, memory utilization 13%, CPU close to nil.

 My uplink is consistent at 1.5 mbps measured using speedtest-cli from the Pi, downlink is much higher. Consensus weight is 14 (!), Atlas "advertised" bandwidth currently 85 KB/s but sometimes reaches as high as 170 KB/s.  Actual traffic is practically negligible (14 MB in 6 hours). I have a Stable flag and am running for a month, the last 9 days with the same IP. Help will be much appreciated.

Hey,

Im not sure if I'm entitled to post here, but i think my contribution might be useful. I am running two relays on dynamic IPs which change about very 24hours, my advertised bandwidth is around 700KB/s, Actually used are around 150KB/s which gives about 20% of the advertised bandwidth. This ratio is of course little bit lower than the static IP relays but by no means as severe as Rana’s. Maybe Rana’s configuration might have a problem and we should make a step back and look closer on Rana’s configuration to figure out what’s going on.

Kind regards
