Not getting the Fast flag
: Only 0/9 authorities vote Fast (5 needed). gabelmoo measured this relay at 208.0 Kbit/s, below the Fast threshold (816.0 Kbit/s). dizum, longclaw and maatuska used the relay-reported 496.0 Kbit/s, below the Fast threshold (816.0 Kbit/s). bastet, dannenberg, moria1 and tor26 counted this relay as 0 (no measurement, relay-reported bandwidth ignored). faravahar judged it by bandwidth not shown in the votes.
Suggestion: Fast requires a bandwidth in the top 7/8 of relays or at least AuthDirFastGuarantee (816.0 Kbit/s by default), judged by each authority. Authorities that have a bandwidth-scanner measurement of your relay judge by it, not by the bandwidth your relay reports. A low measurement means the scanners see your relay underperforming compared with other relays that report a similar speed. Clients only build circuits through Fast relays, so a relay near the threshold can gain and lose most of its traffic from one hourly consensus to the next. -
Guard: requires Fast flag
: Guard flag requires having the Fast flag first
Suggestion: Fast requires a bandwidth in the top 7/8 of relays or at least AuthDirFastGuarantee (816.0 Kbit/s by default), judged by each authority. Authorities that have a bandwidth-scanner measurement of your relay judge by it, not by the bandwidth your relay reports. -
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
: 0/9 authorities credit this relay with enough bandwidth for Guard (5 needed): at least 16.8 Mbit/s (AuthDirGuardBWGuarantee) or a place in their top 25% (80.0 Mbit/s – 280.0 Mbit/s). gabelmoo measured this relay at 208.0 Kbit/s. dizum, longclaw and maatuska used the relay-reported 496.0 Kbit/s. bastet, dannenberg, moria1 and tor26 counted this relay as 0 (no measurement, relay-reported bandwidth ignored).
Suggestion: Guard requires a bandwidth of at least AuthDirGuardBWGuarantee (16.8 Mbit/s by default) or one in the top 25% of relays, judged by each authority the same way as for Fast. To increase bandwidth: 1) Ensure adequate upstream capacity, 2) Check RelayBandwidthRate/RelayBandwidthBurst in torrc, 3) Monitor with Nyx. -
Guard: Time Known below threshold
: Time Known 0.1 days is below 8 days requirement (7.9 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. -
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 Fast flag
: HSDir flag requires having the Fast flag first
Suggestion: Fast requires a bandwidth in the top 7/8 of relays or at least AuthDirFastGuarantee (816.0 Kbit/s by default), judged by each authority. Authorities that have a bandwidth-scanner measurement of your relay judge by it, not by the bandwidth your relay reports. -
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: Time Known below threshold
: Time Known 1.5 hours below 25 hours (dir-spec default)
Suggestion: Most authorities use 25 hours for HSDir TK. moria1 uses ~10 days. Keep running stably. -
Low bandwidth authority measurements
: Only 1/7 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 0.4.9.11 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:
Measured (M) = An authority's bandwidth-scanner measurement of your relay (
Relay-reported (R) = The bandwidth your relay advertises: the lower of its observed bandwidth and its rate limit, capped at 10 MB/s (
Not published = The authority has no measurement of your relay in its vote and ignores relay-reported bandwidth, yet it voted Fast or its vote has no measurements at all: it judges your relay by a measurement kept from an earlier bandwidth file (0 if none), which its vote doesn't show.
Why different? A low measurement means the bandwidth scanners see your relay underperforming compared with other relays that report a similar speed. Votes list both values in kilobytes per second. Rules: Assigning flags in a vote, Computing a consensus.
Measured (M) = An authority's bandwidth-scanner measurement of your relay (
Measured= in its vote). An authority that has one uses it for the Fast and Guard flags, and the consensus weight is the median of these measurements when 3 or more authorities have one.Relay-reported (R) = The bandwidth your relay advertises: the lower of its observed bandwidth and its rate limit, capped at 10 MB/s (
Bandwidth= in every vote). An authority without a measurement uses it for flags, unless it has measurements for enough other relays (ignoring-advertised-bws=1); then your relay counts as 0 (U). It sets the consensus weight only when fewer than 3 authorities measured the relay, capped at 20 KB/s (maxunmeasuredbw) while 3 or more authorities publish measurements.Not published = The authority has no measurement of your relay in its vote and ignores relay-reported bandwidth, yet it voted Fast or its vote has no measurements at all: it judges your relay by a measurement kept from an earlier bandwidth file (0 if none), which its vote doesn't show.

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.
