Hello there! I've been running for over 1.5 year a middle relay on an IP address I also use to browse, withous issues. However it's now some weeks since many websites that always refused tor traffic started to also refuse normal traffic from my IP. I suppose this is related to the relay, because I

Re: [tor-relays] Middle Relay changed to Exit Relay Bandwidth Change

It's very normal for exit relays to pick up *much *more traffic than middle or guard. Because exit relays have to deal with the abuse complaints of Tor users, there are much fewer exit relays than middle and guard: http://rougmnvswfsmd4dq.onion/relayflags.html Even though there is plenty of

I am trying to run a middle relay with no-exit policy. It was my assumption that a middle relay would only communicate with other relays on 9001 port. Yet I see my relay IP address attempting connections to other IP address on ports that are non-9001 (or 9030).
