- Consensus
- In Consensus (9/9 Directory Auths)
- DNS Health
- Healthy (15.1s, 34th percentile) (via exitdnshealth.1aeo.com)
- BW Verified
- 5/7 BW Auths Measured 1104 bit/s Median
- Stability
- Not Overloaded | UP 21h 15m 4s ago
- Reachability
- IPv4: 9/9 | v6: 8/8 (Directory Auths)
- BW Weight
- 0.00% of Network | 1 Mbit/s Observed By Relay
- Version
- 0.5.0.0-alpha-dev Not Recommended
Issues Detected:
-
Guard: requires Fast flag
: Guard flag requires having the Fast flag first
Suggestion: Get Fast flag by having bandwidth ≥100 KB/s OR in top 7/8ths of network. Most relays get this easily. -
Guard: bandwidth below threshold
: Observed bandwidth 1 Mbit/s is below 2 MB/s minimum (AuthDirGuardBWGuarantee)
Suggestion: Guard requires ≥2 MB/s bandwidth OR being in top 25% of network. To increase bandwidth: 1) Ensure adequate upstream capacity, 2) Check RelayBandwidthRate/RelayBandwidthBurst in torrc, 3) Monitor with Nyx or ARM. -
Guard: WFU below threshold
: Weighted Fractional Uptime 74.5% is below 98% requirement
Suggestion: WFU measures recent uptime (recent downtime weighs more heavily). To improve: 1) Minimize restarts, 2) Use systemd with Restart=always, 3) Monitor for OOM kills, 4) Schedule updates during low-traffic periods. -
HSDir: requires Fast flag
: HSDir flag requires having the Fast flag first
Suggestion: Get Fast flag by having bandwidth ≥100 KB/s OR in top 7/8ths of network. Most relays get this easily. -
HSDir: WFU below threshold
: WFU 74.5% below 98% required for HSDir
Suggestion: HSDir requires ≥98% WFU, Stable flag, and Time Known ≥25 hours (or ~10 days for moria1). Improve uptime consistency. -
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 0.5.0.0-alpha-dev 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 Outdated versions may have security vulnerabilities and could eventually be rejected by the network.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.

— = 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). Self-reported uptime from 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.
