While my relay is marked “fast” and “stable” currently, it has never been marked as a “guard” relay. I believe being a “guard” relay requires at least 10mb/s for relay speed, but am wondering, do I need to configure my torrc file to allow it to be used as a guard relay and are there any risks for doing this (like there are in running in exit relay)? Thank you.</p></div></body></html>
