Thank you. I am just a little confused as I seem to get the stable flag randomly, sometimes after 2 days, sometimes after 4 days, sometimes longer; what I'm saying is it seems completely random. My relay appears to be under " maatuska", despite this I seem to get the stable after various numbers

My apologies if I seem worried, I am not trying to sound that way at all, just trying to understand how all of this works. On https://consensus-health.torproject.org/, I found this information. I am curious, where it says stable-uptime=, the following number is in minutes correct? Thank you.

Hi, You talked about using homebrew to automatically update tor. How do you launch tor? Des homebrew restart tor when it is updated? Because tor doesn't update to the new version until you restart it. > On 22 Apr 2018, at 11:06, Keifer Bly wrote: > > Thank you. And I’m

Thank you. And I’m not asking for a for sure response, just generally what you think, would an about 40 minute downtime (what I had this morning) majorly effect my time between failures after about 106 hours of solid uptime? Sorry to keep emailing but trying to keep my relay as useful as

Hello, I am wondering, could you please explain exactly what “Consensus Weight” is? I had had a good uptime, about five days, then my darn computer that I run my relay off of froze for about 40 minutes this morning and I had no choice but to reboot the tor software, setting my current uptime

What sort of exit policy must I apply to be able to be a guard? I have some smaller servers spare that I'd like to utilise. But. They cannot be exits. Original Message On Apr 21, 2018, 10:45 PM, Matthew Glennon wrote: > Being a fast exit is more important to the network, so

Being a fast exit is more important to the network, so that'll be your probability so long as you're a good exit. Stay that way if you can. But if you want to be a guard, change your exit policy. On Sat, Apr 21, 2018, 16:51 Gabe D. wrote: > Hi guys. I've a relay running

Hi guys. I've a relay running on Tor. It's an exit node now. And I noticed it has an entry guard flag which is great. But probability of it being an entry relay is 0%. How can I utilise this server to be an entry relay? How does one configure this and how does it
