Your relay has the stable flag in the latest consensus.

It would be great if we could show relay operators the progress towards
each flag. I've opened a ticket, but it turns out it's a bit complicated:

I’m the brown one. The white one is from the QA team :)

It is part of some Tor Project sticker set I got a few years ago.

[tor-relays] When will my relay gain the stable flag again?

[nottryingtobelame]

My relay (903CA67D0DEB74CFBB01432840A26CB8C6C18FDF) is ~2 years old. Recently, 
I had a series of network issues that took my relay offline for unexpectedly 
long times. When it has gone offline before and lost the stable flag, it 
usually took only a couple days to pick it back up again. It is approaching 8 
days since I finally got things resolved with a new router, but still no stable 
flag. I also used to have the guard flag, but I know I can't get back to guard 
status without the stable flag.

Tor advertises its ORPort to tor network via descriptor
mechanism, the port is in the log output. For default tor
config and simple forwarding firewall, enter the same port,
typically 9001.


Sorry you had to potentially sit idle on your project for almost
three days waiting for it to even post to begin get any reply
from others. The Tor Project censors running these lists...
in part to placate snowbunnies and warriors, to manage image,
to demur from some differing pov's and even some facts, to avoid
journalist and open critique, etc... seem maybe have some issue
with say letting people freely read and information freely timely flow.

For example...

Were your post to have been noting an attack or security exploit
involving tor relays, a whole lot of tor users around the world
could have got hurt in the intervening time below. That's really bad.
And is the result of such needless "moderation" program Tor Project
over everyone, instead of say only over the very rare incorrigible
verbally abusive asshole repeatedly going directly into other people.
Whereas a few spams now and then, other normal and typical fare,
some fire, noise, convo, good args, parts above, etc all lists have from
time to time, no big deal, silly to censor them. Tor has big budget to fund
that program to click post approve 24x7, they did not even implement that.
So relays might need consider non-tpo-list comms to be timely safe.

Re: [tor-relays] Migrating to a new data center

[Isaac Grover, Aileron I.T.]

Niftybunny,

Thank you for the fun pictures.  But the question on my mind: is "niftybunny" 
the brown marbled bunny or the larger white bunny?  Or is "niftybunny" a cloud 
entity like the Borg?

Re: [tor-relays] Improving Relay IPv6 - RIPE Grant

[teor]

Hi,

Sorry I missed these emails. I was on leave around Christmas, and then I
was focused on the Relay IPv6 grant when I got back.

IPv6-only relays are out of scope for this sponsor.

We can't add IPv6-only relays, until we have more dual-stack relays.
(Or until researchers tell us how to get good user anonymity in
non-clique networks.)

So this sponsor is focused on adding more dual-stack relays.

We have a draft proposal:
  * AuthDirMaxServersPerIPv6Site counts relays in a /64
  * We will analyse the current number of relays in each /64 on the tor
network, to choose a default value
  * We expect the default to be between 4 and 50

https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/proposals/312-relay-auto-ipv6-addr.txt#n1125

This is an optional change, so we might not do it as part of this
sponsored work. (The sponsored work goes for the next 6 months.)

I would like better multithreading in Tor. We have designs, but we
need more funding (or volunteers) to do projects like this.

One of the tricky parts of multithreading is making all of tor's
code more independent. That's hard work!

I would also like to have a better way to resist sybil attacks than
using IP addresses. We need help from researchers to come up with
better designs.

You can ask the new network health team if you'd like to know more about
on resisting bad relays on the network:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkHealthTeam

We also might need a design where new relays go in a separate document,
until they have been checked for bandwidth (and any other automatic
checks we can do).

Sorry, I didn't see your question until now.
Please start a new thread for new questions!

The Tor Browser team packages the Tor Expert Bundle.
They should be able to answer your question.
I've cc'd them on this email.
