Issues Detected:
  • Not in consensus : Only 3/9 authorities voted for this relay (need 5)
    Suggestion: Verify your relay is reachable from multiple geographic locations. Check firewall rules allow incoming connections on your ORPort from all directory authority IP addresses.
  • IPv4 reachability issues : Only 3/9 authorities can reach this relay
    Suggestion: Authorities that cannot reach you: bastet, faravahar, gabelmoo, longclaw, maatuska, moria1. Check: 1) Firewall allows incoming TCP on ORPort, 2) No ISP-level blocking, 3) Tor is running and listening. Use 'nc -zv your-ip your-orport' from external hosts to test.
  • Guard: bandwidth below threshold : Observed bandwidth 0.1 MB/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 51.7% 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.
  • Guard: Time Known below threshold : Time Known 4.1 days is below 8 days requirement (3.9 more days needed)
    Suggestion: Time Known tracks how long authorities have observed your relay. This resets if: 1) Identity key changes, 2) Long downtime makes authorities forget you. Just keep running stably.
  • Guard: requires Stable flag : Guard flag requires having the Stable flag first
    Suggestion: Get Stable flag by maintaining consistent uptime. Stable requires uptime and MTBF at or above network median (typically 2-3 weeks of stable running).
  • 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.
  • Not eligible for Stable flag : Uptime or MTBF below network median for most authorities
    Suggestion: Stable flag requires uptime/MTBF at or above network median. Keep your relay running continuously for 2-3 weeks. Avoid restarts. Use reliable hardware and network connection.
  • HSDir: WFU below threshold : WFU 51.7% 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.
  • Low bandwidth authority measurements : Only 0/6 bandwidth authorities measured this relay. Minimum 3 measurements needed for accurate consensus weight.
    Suggestion: Low measurement count can indicate connectivity issues. Check: 1) Relay is reachable from multiple geographic locations, 2) ORPort accepts connections from bandwidth scanners, 3) RelayBandwidthRate in torrc matches actual capacity. New relays may take 1-2 days to be measured by all authorities.

— = 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.
