<div dir="ltr">There isn't really a trust issue involved. It does take some time to get most clients to know you (generally not more than a day, I believe) and the stable flag will help quite a bit. You should probably check your ports etc, and look at your node on one of the tor monitoring sites (<a href="http://torstatus.kgprog.com/">http://torstatus.kgprog.com/</a>) to make sure that everything there is okay. Mine tends to use it's full allotted bandwidth (250 KB/s) constantly (in the realm of 20-40gb per day), but it's got a good stable history, handles exit traffic, and is marked as guard (which is an automated process).<br>
<br>Check to make sure that incoming connections are working and so forth - that'd be my first guess.<br><br clear="all">- John<br>

Hello, I started running a tor bridged relay a few days ago. Though I<br>
have been monitoring it lightly and it isnt recieving much traffic. I<br>
have it rate limited at 600KB w/ 1200KB burts. My max connection speed<br>
is symmetric 1500KB+. But according to my monitoring tools the bandwidth<br>
isnt being close to utilized, 2-3 active connections @ 2-10KB. My<br>
question is does it take a while for the other nodes to trust/utilize my<br>
node? or should I start digging through my torrc for a configuration<br>
error? I am running debian etch(4.0) and tor v0.2.0.30.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
