<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;"><br></div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;"><span>Hi Relay Operators, </span><div><br></div><div><span> I am trying to run a non exit relay for the first time and have some questions:</span></div><div><br></div><div><span> FYI, I have 2 virtual CPU s and 1.256 GB RAM with ‘unlimited’ bandwidth on a rented VPS running Debian 11.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span> The logs report success and the Relay Search shows my relay (Nickname: code9nRelay) running but the advertised bandwidth is 0 B/s. </span></div><div><span> It’s been running for 13 hours or so and I see a new relay that has been running for 1 hour has an advertised bandwidth of 12MiB/s.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span> I did set the bandwidth to 100KB/s, then 200KB/s but now it’s just set to run the defaults. Ie Nothing is set.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span> I had my email address as my first contact then my GPG fingerprint as a second contact but the fingerprint is displayed not the email. Now I have it all on one line with the email address first.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span>Which brings me to my main question; when I run <b>systemctl restart tor@default</b> shouldn’t the new settings in the torrc file be used from that point on? Because they don’t seem to be.</span></div><div><span> I have run it after making the changes above and the old settings are still shown on the Relay Search page. Ie 0KB/s and my GPG fingerprint showing as my email address.</span></div><div><span> If this restart doesn’t reset the torrc then what does? Or is it just a matter of waiting for the new info to be taken up?</span></div><div><br></div><div><span> Any one have any thoughts or advice, please?</span></div><div><br></div><div><span> Pete</span></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><span> Here are the recent logs:</span></div><div><br></div><div><span>Dec 14 20:05:31.000 [notice] Heartbeat: Tor's uptime is 6:00 hours, with 10 circuits open.
