For me it wouldn't make any difference. I just noticed that my relay never got the guard flag and I am assuming that the reason is the bandwidth limitation. ~Andrea smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature ___ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays

Probably because having clients connecting directly to this relay is not OK. E.g. some hostile ISP/upstream so one may decide not to endanger users by running a Guard relay there. Just a guess. -- Ivan Markin ___ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays

I am curious about possible reasons, why one wouldn't want to become guard. Are there any risks or disadvantages that come with the guard flag?

Jim probably doesn't want to become a Guard. I'm not aware of such option. btw, we've recently discussed in #19625 [1] possibility of setting "peering policy". If this would be implemented one can restrict connections only to relays in consensus (but not bridges?).
