Hi,
You are running two Tor relays, which is great: http://rougmnvswfsmd4dq.onion/rs.html#search/3AB2018B73C0367CCE534BEE2F18885... http://rougmnvswfsmd4dq.onion/rs.html#search/45242AEC7B1B002EF54E6CDDE0B129E...
First: that Tor version is obsolete, and because of old bugs, we will soon cut relays running those versions out of the network.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 relays. :)
You can find Tor packages for many distros / operating systems here: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TorRelayGuide#Platformspecific...
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! --Roger
Hello,
Thank you for this information. I am hoping you can help me. I realized that the Tor version was obselete but the biggest challenge is the cloud hosting provider I am using only has Ubuntu 14.04. There are version issues whats preventing me from installing the latest Tor. Is there a quick fix that I can apply? The cost to upgrade my nodes to the the Ubuntu 16 template will be prohibitive for me.
I was testing with the bandwidth limits I think I maybe able to double the amount without the ISP throwing a fit.
Thanks, C

Gosh. Ubuntu 14.04 LTS reached its end-of-life in April of this year -- it hasn't received any security updates since then. So you really shouldn't be running anything on it -- it is not just Tor that is out of date, it is your kernel, your openssl libraries, any other services you run, etc. Having an Ubuntu 14.04 machine on the internet is a danger to you and the internet.
So I guess my advice would be to run far far away from a cloud hosting provider that only offers an insecure OS image. :( And hopefully your replacement hosting provider will have reasonable prices and also give you safe software. :)
