I'm running a relay on Debian (flavor) - all software is up-to-date and the tor version installed is 4.5.16. So I think it's up the Debian admins to update tor on their repositories (?); that way at least the Debian relays would get a proper update I assume. --- Original Message --- G

[tor-relays] How to manually change overloaded Guard?

Hello all, my relay is set up to support 42 Mbps, however does not get any real traffic routed through it (605EE4375EE4C38215C8949F5808863749FD4F4A). I checked anything I could think of but everything looks fine to me. Anyone with an idea what could be wrong here? Many thanks!___

I do run a dedicated relay (middle only, non-exit, no guard) and can at least confirm that the CPU load is very "spiky" indeed. I was wondering myself in the past but never really cared about it (since it's a dedicated device anyhow). Attached chart shows just a recent example for information.

Re: [tor-relays] Advertised Bandwidth vs. RelayBandwidthRate

So, could it be that there is just a wording issue on tor-metrics - to me "observed" and "advertised" bandwidth are two different things but they seem to be the same on tor-metrics. I think I do understand the observed bw, however, still struggle to understand the advertised bw. ‐‐‐ Origina
