[tor-relays] my provider null routed my exit. advice?

2015-07-30 Thread Christopher Yeager
Hello, I run a 100mb exit hosted at server.lu since sometime in late 2013. There have been a couple dozen abuse reports but normally they forward them to me to deal with and nothing much happens. However a week or so ago, while I was travelling, there was an abuse report that made them decide to f

Welcome. This event led to my discovering the Unmeasured=1 flag in the cached-*consensus files (was wondering where it was). That new BWauth is badly needed. See about 460 unmeasured relays and from an unscientific sample it seems like many of them are stuck-at-20 exit nodes--valuable resources

Much of Tor traffic is from long-term circuits moving bulk data, so apparently it will take many hours or even days for rebalancing to fully take effect. Is not clear whether it will cause serious trouble or not. My thought is that one BWauth in a consensus is better than self-measure, as BWauths

Thanks for the heads up! A fifth bwauth is expected to start voting "real soon now", and I'm not sure why maatuska didn't vote on bwauth data last vote, but I've pinged some folks so hopefully we can get this resolved quickly. -tom On 30 July 2015 at 12:04, wrote: > FYI list > > https://trac.t
