Version
0.4.8.10 Not Recommended
Issues Detected:
  • High consensus weight deviation : Large variation in Consensus Weight values across authorities (see 'Cons Wt' column in Per-Authority Details below)
    Suggestion: Consensus weight measurements vary significantly between authorities. This can affect traffic distribution. Ensure stable network connection and consistent bandwidth availability.
  • Tor version not recommended : Running Tor version 0.4.8.10 which is not on the recommended list.
    Suggestion: Update to the latest stable Tor version. Outdated versions may have security vulnerabilities and could eventually be rejected by the network. See torproject.org/download for latest releases.
  • Write Bandwidth Limit Hit : Write rate limit (13 Mbit/s) was hit 54,273 times. Relay is throttling outbound traffic.
    Suggestion: Increase RelayBandwidthRate and RelayBandwidthBurst in torrc if your connection has more upload capacity.
  • Read Bandwidth Limit Hit : Read rate limit (13 Mbit/s) was hit 20,655 times. Relay is throttling inbound traffic.
    Suggestion: Increase RelayBandwidthRate and RelayBandwidthBurst in torrc if your connection has more download capacity.
Notes:
  • Rate Limit Configuration: Configured limits: Rate=13 Mbit/s, Burst=134 Mbit/s. Limits hit: Write=54,273, Read=20,655.

Consensus Evaluation

Data from Tor CollecTor (authority votes, fetched 2026-01-29 14:45:07).

  • Consensus Status (need ≥5/9): In Consensus — 9/9 authorities voted.
  • Flag Eligibility (need ≥5/9 for flag): Running: 9/9 | Valid: 9/9 | V2Dir: 9/9 | Fast: 9/9 | Stable: 9/9 | HSDir: 8/9 | Guard: 0/9
  • Reachability: IPv4: 9/9 | IPv6: 7/7 (2 don't test)
  • Consensus Weight (Dir. Auth.): Median: 12.6 Kbit/s | Min: 5120 bit/s | Max: 12.8 Kbit/s [Warning] High deviation
  • Identified Issues:
    • High consensus weight deviation: Large variation in Consensus Weight values across authorities (see 'Cons Wt' column in Per-Authority Details below)
      • Suggestion: Consensus weight measurements vary significantly between authorities. This can affect traffic distribution. Ensure stable network connection and consistent bandwidth availability.
    • Tor version not recommended: Running Tor version 0.4.8.10 which is not on the recommended list.
      • Suggestion: Update to the latest stable Tor version. Outdated versions may have security vulnerabilities and could eventually be rejected by the network. See torproject.org/download for latest releases.
    • Write Bandwidth Limit Hit: Write rate limit (13 Mbit/s) was hit 54,273 times. Relay is throttling outbound traffic.
      • Suggestion: Increase RelayBandwidthRate and RelayBandwidthBurst in torrc if your connection has more upload capacity.
    • Read Bandwidth Limit Hit: Read rate limit (13 Mbit/s) was hit 20,655 times. Relay is throttling inbound traffic.
      • Suggestion: Increase RelayBandwidthRate and RelayBandwidthBurst in torrc if your connection has more download capacity.
  • Notes:
    • Rate Limit Configuration: Configured limits: Rate=13 Mbit/s, Burst=134 Mbit/s. Limits hit: Write=54,273, Read=20,655.

— = not tested/available • Format: relay value | authority threshold • WFU = Weighted Fractional Uptime • TK = Time Known

Bandwidth Values Explained:
Relay Reported = Your relay's self-reported bandwidth from its descriptor (observed_bandwidth). Used for flag eligibility (Guard, Fast).
Authority Measured = Bandwidth measured by authority's sbws scanner. Used for consensus weight (path selection probability).
Why different? Authorities verify your reported bandwidth independently. 6 of 9 authorities run bandwidth scanners; 3 use relay-reported values directly.
Stable Uptime (Two Data Sources):
Relay Uptime = From Onionoo API (last_restarted field). This is your relay's self-reported uptime from its descriptor. Same value for all authorities.
Authority Threshold = From CollecTor vote files (flag-thresholds stable-uptime). Each authority may have different thresholds.
Why two sources? Vote files contain authority thresholds but not per-relay uptime values. Onionoo aggregates relay descriptors which include uptime.
