You can consider accounting. It limits the monthly traffic to the value you set in the torrc fille. I use this for one Exit i run on a VPS in malaysia. Gesendet: Montag, 23.

Re: [tor-relays] Dirport9030
No problem; I edited the Tor Configuration File (/ etc / tor / torrc) and rebooted the server. On one of the servers I left "auto" and Tor pick a port, on the other I chose the 9030, and after the reboot everything was ok. Cumprimentos; -- Securely sent with Tutanota.

[tor-relays] Dirport9030
I have a problem. I am learning, and I have 4 active relays. I used the same configuration on the 4. Recently 2 of them lost the Guard, HSdir and V2Dir flags. On the page https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#search/TugaOnion I see that DirPort is 0 instead of 9030. I haven't changed anything, and in the relay configuration there is 9030.
