That's exactly what baffles me. I didn't make any changes to the relay configuration since updating to 0.2.8.7. I've always had some fluctuations in the Advertised Bandwidth as reported by Atlas, but I assume these are from the BWAuth measurements? The only thing on my end, that I could imagine,

If your concern is security you shouldn't use OpenSSL in the first place. My pick would be OpenBSD or Gentoo with LibreSSL if it's security wise. Stable is for servers great because bleeding edge might break once in awhile and for decent amount of uptime you want to keep it going without to worry
