I have made some measurements. Downloading large files through Tor did not appear to show significant differences between both nodes, which could mean that Tor clients are either capped in general or the circuits were overall not fast enough to make my nodes reach their limits. I also tried severa

The Advertised Bandwidth is is significantly lower on TorRelay02HORUS too. Let me quote teor from another recent thread, I think the same info is helpful here: -- begin quote -- Your relay reports a bandwidth based on the amount of traffic it has sustained in any 10 second period over the past da

I think he meant that it will not get the flag the same time. I set up some relays and the "lifetime of a relay" is a nice indicator but relays behave different. One relay needed 14 days to be stable and I am 100% sure that the server and network was online 24/7. Just wait and see :) Markus 2016

[tor-relays] Node families and guard flags

2016-09-15 Thread Ralph Seichter
When running two non-exit nodes, configured as a single family with no other members, and using identical bandwidth settings, is it to be expected that only one of the nodes ever obtains the guard flag? The node uptimes are pretty much the same as well, but consensus weight differs significantly. I
