Re: [tor-relays] Middle Relay changed to Exit Relay Bandwidth Change

[Tristan <supersluether@xxxxxxxxx>]

It's very normal for exit relays to pick up much more traffic than middle or guard. Because exit relays have to deal with the abuse complaints of Tor users, there are much fewer exit relays than middle and guard: http://rougmnvswfsmd4dq.onion/relayflags.html

Even though there is plenty of bandwidth in the Tor network (http://rougmnvswfsmd4dq.onion/bandwidth-flags.html), the sheer amount of exit vs non-exit relays causes exit relays to have much more traffic.

Recently I enable exits on my relay and traffic seemed to jump very high compared to the almost stagnant bandwidth increase wen it was just running as a guard middle relay. I was wondering if this was normal for the traffic to jump this much.

 Here's the Atlas link for my relay: https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/ABF5C38A93F2D7E77A226871AB0ADB052279B48F
