<blockquote>As I said, I'm still learning. I have a server at Hetzner with a monthly limit of 20TB, and I am trying to adjust the speed so that it does not exceed 20TB at the end of the month. The problem is that whenever I place the BandwidthRate and BandwidthBurst above 10MB I lose the Guard, HSdir and V2Dir flags. On the page https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#search/TugaOnion I see that DirPort is 0 instead of 9030. I have the BandwidthRate and BandwidthBurst at 9MB and everything is fine, but I will reach the end of the month and I only spent about 10TB.</blockquote>

<div>Check your logs. They likely say something like</div>
<div> </div>
<div>"Not advertising DirPort (Reason: AccountingMax enabled)"</div>
<div> </div>
<div>So your relay is indeed opening the DirPort, but it is opting to leave it</div>
<div>out of the descriptor that it publishes (i.e. not mention it to anybody),</div>
<div>in order to save its limited bandwidth for more important traffic.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>You can read more about the design here:</div>
<div><a href="https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/tree/src/feature/relay/router.c?h=tor-0.4.2.7#n1199" target="_blank">https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/tree/src/feature/relay/router.c?h=tor-0.4.2.7#n1199</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Your options include:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>(A) Leave your BandwidthRate at 9MBytes, but crank up your BandwidthBurst</div>
<div>super high so the rate limiting rarely actually kicks in. In theory the</div>
<div>bandwidth authority measurers should decide that you're really quite</div>
<div>fast compared to the other relays that claim 9MBytes/s, and assign you</div>
<div>more traffic. (I say 'in theory' because the bwauths are a source of</div>
<div>much randomness and chaos these days, so it is easy to describe what we</div>
<div>hope they will do, but harder to predict what they will actually do. :)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>(B) Turn both your BandwidthRate and BandwidthBurst way up, so that you</div>
<div>use a lot of traffic even only in the 'middle hop' spot. It's hard to</div>
<div>say how this one will work out in practice, but in theory (there's that</div>
<div>phrase again) the bwauths should recognize that you can handle a lot of</div>
<div>load as a middle hop, and direct more traffic to you there.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>(C) Sit back, relax, and be pleased that you're offering 10TBytes/mo</div>
<div>to the network.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>All of these are valid directions to go in, I would say.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks!</div>
