G'day Roger,

That was a fun morning!  Managed to get that old VM up to Ubuntu 16.04, which you still have a repo for, and got tor upgraded on it :)

Though looks like the node may have been blacklisted due to the old tor version?

Please correct.

Is that what these errors mean? If that's all it is, are you able to un-blacklist it please (Or should I email bad-relays? I was't sure if I should use this current thread or start a new one)?  It's now running:

Tor 0.4.1.6 running on Linux with Libevent 2.0.21-stable, OpenSSL 1.0.2g, Zlib 1.2.8, Liblzma 5.1.0alpha, and Libzstd N/A.

Hoping this is new enough?  If not, I can try taking it up to ubuntu 18.04, but that may be problematic as it's living on a VERY old xen host :D

Regarding bandwidth, I don't have any of the RelayBandwidth* setting configured in torrc - so had always just assumed it would be open slather.  Do I need to specifically set these to 0?  As long as it doesn't go nuts (aka saturate the gig ethernet into the host or affect paying customers on the segment), I don't really mind too much now much traffic it uses.

How often does the node status page update? (https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/72657B96BF99B28FBD9F2B036A590AA8A4535422) It's been a few hours now since the timestamp at the bottom was updated, when I convert from UTC to local :)

Regards,

Damien

Hi,

You are running a Tor relay, which is great:

First: that Tor version is obsolete, and because of old bugs, we will
soon cut relays running those versions out of the network. Please
consider upgrading!

Second: let us know if there is any way to help you bump up the
bandwidth that you are allocating to the Tor relay. :)

You can find Tor packages for your distro / OS here:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TorRelayGuide#PlatformspecificInstructions

Ideally you will switch to keeping up with our stable releases, but if
you need a stable that is especially stable, the Tor 0.3.5 branch will
be maintained until Feb 2022:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkTeam/CoreTorReleases#Current
and you can see the lifetimes of other Tor versions on that table too.

Let us know if we can do anything to make the process easier.

And lastly, I am cc'ing the new network health mailing list (which
has public archives), to help us stay synced:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkHealthTeam

Thanks!
