<div>Your bandwidth is too low. Guards must be in the top 25% of the network

by bandwidth, and that's currently in the mid 2MBps. Your node is right

on that cusp, so it's going to continue to have a flickering guard node

flag.

Any pointers about why my relay is flipping between guard and not guard?</blockquote>
<br />
There are 8 authorities, and 4 think your relay should be a guard.
<br />
Whenever a 5th joins them, your relay is a guard, when it doesn’t, your
<br />
relay isn’t.
<br />
<br />
See the entry in
<br />
https://consensus-health.torproject.org/consensus-health.html
<br />
<br />
There are a number of factors involved in guard selection:
<br />
* Your bandwidth seems to fluctuate, which could cause the guard flag to
<br />
fluctuate as well. Unfortunately, the guard flag then causes your
<br />
bandwidth to fluctuate. So it’s hard to tell what the cause is here, and
<br />
whether the relay’s Guard flag is in some kind of bandwidth-driven loop.
<br />
Have you looked at the bwauth votes for your relay?
<br />
* Your uptime is ok (for the last month).
<br />
* There could be other factors.
<br />
<br />
Give it a week or so to stabilise, or, alternately, limit the bandwidth
<br />
to stop it fluctuating so much.
