Hi,
You are running a Tor relay, which is great: http://rougmnvswfsmd4dq.onion/rs.html#details/98FB7574932DBD6FE9E75169982EDF...
First: that Tor version is obsolete, and because of old bugs, we will soon cut relays running those versions out of the network.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#Platformspecific...
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/CoreTorR... 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! --Roger

thank you for noticing me. I have updated the debian on this node. It is be the newest of tor in Debian now running there.
One note: Could the tor relay status be changed, so the bare stats can be seen without javascript? Javascript is the main threat to anonymity over tor. I am by default not turning on Javascript in my own browser. The base stats could be shown and only the graphs show some hint to turn on javascript.
Second: let us know if there is any way to help you bump up the bandwidth that you are allocating to the Tor relay. :)
My nodes were running at full speed at the beginning and soon ranked very high. The problem is, that when I give a maximum bandwidth, it is used all the time. This of course soon takes up the maximum Terabytes I have per VPS. My bandwidth is thus calculated to full usage all over the whole month.
If anything, like bigger bursts is required, I'd need some way to configure when this is needed or maybe some way, to have pauses. I haven't looked up since I set up the node, if something was developed in tor for this case. I shouldn't be alone there.
Sincerely,
Christoph Lohmann

I asked the metrics team this question. They told me that it is a privacy tradeoff.
Using JavaScript means that your browser can send the relay fingerprint directly to the backend Onionoo database server.
If they ran code on the frontend web sever, then that server would know which relay you were looking for.
You're right, it's not ideal. Privacy is really complicated.

Try the AccountingMax torrc option. Your relay will go at full speed until it has used its bandwidth, then hibernate for the rest of the month.
Then it will start at a random day the next month.
