But it's the only one so far in AS203394 and runs with FreeBSD, both of which are great. I think your relay runs in Ukraine. https://bgp.he.net/AS203394#_prefixes > In > addition, the contact information provided in the `torrc` does not match > the email address you used to participate in the `tor-relays` mailing list. The email address in the relay list is completely irrelevant. Mine is also different on the list, the relays and in the forum. > > Almost three months ago I have set up my first node.

Consensus weight is based on bandwidth observed by the relay and bandwidth measured by the directory & bw authorities. Your observed bandwidth is currently ~500 KiB/s, which is very little especially for a relay in the data center. If you do not have truly unlimited bandwidth from your provider, your bandwidth may be throttled. Or in a KVM|Cloud, the node is oversold. > > Anyway, fast forward to today, and the weight hasn't really gotten above > > two hundred, it has been a month and a half I think since the weight > > drop, and it has been stale at a weight of between one hundred eighty and > > two hundred. > > > I can't put my finger on what is exactly the problem, the relay currently > > has six flags: Fast, HSDir, Running, Stable, V2Dir and Valid.

I would first look at the provider's ToS. It often says something about fair usage policies vs. unlimited bandwidth and unlimited traffic. Sometimes only inbound or outbound is unlimited. Then I would install vnstatd or nload and measure the traffic for one to two months. It could be that the bw auths are not measuring properly at the moment because they are under DDoS. -- ╰_╯ Ciao Marco! Debian GNU/Linux It's free software and it gives you freedom!
