My apologies, the duplicate emails must be happening when replying. I will
look at Chocklatey.

Re: [tor-relays] Low bandwidth

Hi,

I'm cc'ing the network health team, so they are aware of this issue.

I have opened a ticket in sbws to follow up this issue:

sbws measures some relays 100x lower than Torflow
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/33775

It could be related to these other issues:

sbws does not detect changes in descriptor bandwidth values
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/30733

sbws bandwidth scans should require a minimum exit bandwidth
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/33009

Re: [tor-relays] Possible to run a tor bridge/relay via tor browser?

2020-03-31 Thread teor

Hi,

Just letting you know that I can't really help here, for a few reasons.

Here's some general feedback:

I don't think we can support using Tor Browser to auto-update a
relay. It seems really complicated.

As we've spoken about previously, you might be better using a
package manager, like Chocolatey:
https://chocolatey.org/search?q=Tor

(If you need help using Chocolatey, please find a
Chocolatey-specific help forum. I don't think anyone on this
list has experience.)

I can't see your full logs in the screenshots. Please paste them in
your email, or use a pastebin like https://paste.debian.net

I'm also struggling to keep up with your emails, because you keep
sending duplicate emails. That's a bit confusing.
