Since Georg opened that (on my behalf) I too have lost the Stable
flag.<br>

<p>Hello fellow operators</p>
<br>
<p>I have one pretty large relay, MIGHTYWANG which is an IP4/6
guard, dedicated hardware running on a 1Gb line uncontended. It
is usually one of the top 5 relays by consensus weight but on
the morning of 14th October it lost Guard status on account of
losing the stable flag. </p>
<p>I checked logs, connectivity and server health - nothing
unusual, everything is generally pretty bullet proof in and
around the relay and it had been running for well over a year
without a reboot - just the very occasional Tor daemon restart
following upgrades but no such activity prior to the 14th.</p>
<p>So next I checked the consensus and I see that around half of
the directory authorities seem to be not assigning the stable
flag. See attached screenshot showing current consensus.<br>
</p>
<p>The peering to each of those relays seems OK from what I can
see (IP4 and IP6) so any idea what gives?</p>
<p>I've got a MIGHTYWANG sitting here twiddling it's thumbs
because have the directory authorities don't want to use it. Bit
of a waste.</p>
<p>I had similar things happen a few years ago with one of my old
relays; again no obvious reason, just seemed to be the a random
whim of the directory authorities.</p>
<p>I've noticed a couple of other long term relays are in a
similar position - is this some time of attack, deliberate
action or just Tor magic? </p>
