From my experience, it should come back online, but not instantly - you likely need to wait for the next descriptor to be uploaded (once every 6 hours usually).

All the best,

Greetings fellow relay operators!

I'm currently running a tor relay on a dynamic IP Address connection, usually my ISP gives me a new address every day or so-

Lately [for the past like week or so- can't remember when it started happening], I have to manually restart it when my WAN IP Address changes; to get the relay back online- (systemctl restart tor@default)

Is there a way to not manually restart tor (besides running a cron script to do so)

Below are my tor configuration:
Tor 0.4.8.12 on Linux
Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
