Issues Detected:
-
Not in consensus
: Only 1/8 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 1/9 authorities can reach this relay
Suggestion: Authorities that cannot reach you: bastet, dannenberg, faravahar, gabelmoo, longclaw, maatuska, moria1, tor26. 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. -
IPv6 not reachable
: 0/8 authorities that test IPv6 can reach your IPv6 address
Suggestion: Verify IPv6 is correctly configured: 1) Check ORPort binding includes IPv6 address, 2) Firewall allows IPv6 traffic, 3) IPv6 address is publicly routable. Test with: curl -6 http://ipv6.icanhazip.com/ -
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: 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 33.7% 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. -
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: requires Stable flag
: HSDir 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). Avoid restarts. -
HSDir: WFU below threshold
: WFU 33.7% 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 0/5 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. -
Tor version not recommended
: Running Tor version 0.4.8.11 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.

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.
