Hi Roger,

Thanks for your email, and good to hear from you.

I upgraded my node to the latest version, so hopefully that issue should be resolved now. Thanks for your ping!

About the bandwidth, I checked the tor wiki docs and also my linode instance limits again, and I think I could drop the bandwidth rate limits, and just keep a total monthly cap to ensure my account doesn't exceed its monthly quota. Based on my understanding of the documentation this should be a better setup, is that correct?

Here is what my torrc looks like right now:

AccountingMax 3500 GB

AccountingStart month 1 00:00

Thanks,

Ehsan

Hi Ehsan,

Hopefully you remember me from our Mozilla All Hands meeting.

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First: that Tor version is obsolete, and because of old bugs, we will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 many distros / operating systems here:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TorRelayGuide#PlatformspecificInstructions

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:

Thanks!
