Thanks for the info, Roger. @Eldalië If you want to keep your history on Tor metrics, go with the old keys. If you generate new keys and have a new IP, you can let your relay run as a bridge for a few weeks or months and then reconfigure it later. That would be very helpful, especially if the IP is accessible from Turkmenistan. It's been a year, but internet censorship is still there: https://forum.torproject.org/t/tor-relays-help-turkmens-to-bypass-internet-censorship-run-an-obfs4-bridge/7002/8#torrc-example-6 -- ╰_╯ Ciao Marco!
