<div>Dear list,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I get this on just one of my relays -</div>
<div>"Our IP Address has changed from xxx toxxx; rebuilding descriptor (source: METHOD=GETHOSTNAME HOSTNAME=xxx).</div>
<div>Aug 11 00:33:54.000 [notice] Your IP address seems to have changed to xxx (METHOD=GETHOSTNAME HOSTNAME=xxx).
Updating."</div>
<div>This is 99% of my tor log. What's going on? Is this normal for a middle relay and somewhere I've set
the log level to be too sensitive? My torrc log line:</div>
<div>Log notice file /var/log/tor/notices.log # location to log notices, warnings, and errors:</div>
<div>But my other relays have the same line.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I was looking at this relay because it only seems to connect with the bwauths every few days to a week - now not
showing at all. It has stayed at 200 connections for the last 6 weeks as a result. It is currently missing
completely from the tor metrics list. But I have no idea if these 2 things are related. I have run it
with and without ipv6 with the same results.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Any help I would appreciate,</div>

Some ISPs change IPv4 addresses a lot, often combined with short periods of disconnection.
<br />
So I think the most probable cause for these log lines is that your ISP currently has issues providing you with a
stable internet connection.
<br />
I have also experienced changing IPv4 addresses due to power outages that affected the router.
<br />
Does your IP address change more than once an hour?
<br />
<br />
Maybe you can reach out to your ISP to ask what's going on.
<br />
<br />
There doesn't seem to be anything wrong about the log itself.
