Version
0.4.8.17 Not Recommended
Issues Detected:
  • HSDir: requires V2Dir (tunnelled-dir-server) : HSDir requires the relay to support tunnelled directory requests (V2Dir flag). This relay is missing V2Dir — the descriptor likely does not include tunnelled-dir-server, usually because DirCache 0 is set in torrc.
    Suggestion: Remove DirCache 0 from torrc (DirCache is enabled by default in Tor ≥0.3.3). Restart Tor and verify the descriptor includes tunnelled-dir-server. You can check with: grep tunnelled-dir-server /var/lib/tor/cached-descriptors
  • 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.
  • BadExit flag assigned : This relay has been flagged as a bad exit by directory authorities. BadExit means authorities detected malicious behavior (traffic modification, SSL stripping, etc.).
    Suggestion: Contact bad-relays@lists.torproject.org to understand and resolve this issue.
  • MiddleOnly restriction active : This relay has been restricted to middle position only by directory authorities. MiddleOnly removes Guard, Exit, HSDir, and V2Dir flags, and adds BadExit. This significantly limits the relay's role in the network.
    Suggestion: This may indicate suspicious behavior patterns, Sybil risk indicators, or policy violations. Contact bad-relays@lists.torproject.org for more information.
  • Tor version not recommended : Running Tor version 0.4.8.17 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 Outdated versions may have security vulnerabilities and could eventually be rejected by the network.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.
