Things getting slower and slower. "Fast"-, "V2Dir"- and "stable"-flags are gone.

Speedtest (netztest.at): 24 Mbit/s down and 6,2 Mbit/s up, ping: 43 ms. 

I'm sorry I should of said speedtest-cli / speedtest.net is not the most scientific way to monitor & measure your relay as it might take a different circuit every time. It also puts extra strain on the network. Still it is interesting to see how fast your CPU will let the transfer go. Perhaps run it once every few days and average out the results over a long time. I dont have "numbers evidence" but I am sure the network is getting faster now the DoS mitigations have been introduced.

Notebook and router where both rebooted yesterday.

My router is from my ISP, part of their marketing is to "have the strongest wifi signal" and one of the things to help with this is the router automatically reboots every 10 to 14 days. Before I had a relay it waited until the night when their is no broadband usage however because its always in use now it apparently won't wait more than 14 days and reboot anyway. Also, sometimes the people I live with interfere with it from time to time when they deem their Netflix experience to be poor. 

Together these occasional reboots are fine and wont break the relay but they will break peoples connections that go through the relay. Tor will work out when their is an IP address change (caused by router reboot) and work around it but the relay will lose some flags for a short while.

I try to wait until there is an OS update and reboot the PC and router at the same time, perhaps you should try the same.

Thanks.
