Well, I have to say thanks to the update to tor 0.4.6.9 the DNS overload issue is gone. My consensus Weight went down sightly due to the constant overload flag. Lets see if time will help heal that. Good work so far. Thanks, John C. On 2021-12-21 07:39 AM, nusenu wrote: bobby stickel:

Hi Ibex There's some discussion about this issue on #tor-relays. First of all, I actually don't think there's any problem with your Exit node. IMO 1.5% is expected and the current threshold is just too low (or the timeout too low). We're hosting some fairly high capacity exit nodes (around
