Hello all,
I'm running relay 292FCACE773DC259B799914A23BE65A6A6178E8F and have noticed traffic drops when enabling UFW.
Around 2024-01-15, I enabled UFW on this server. I noticed a 9x drop in traffic (10.88M -> 1.708M), and coughed it up to relay weirdness. This is about when my relays Guard status would randomly drop every few weeks.
I finally got fed up with this huge drop in traffic on 2024-06-11 and was about to reinstall my server OS. This is when I decided to disable UFW and found that my traffic went back over a few days (2.215M -> 8.948M).
Here are my tor-related UFW rules;
To Action From
-- ------ ----
[ 3] 9001 ALLOW IN Anywhere
[11] 9001 (v6) ALLOW IN Anywhere (v6)
I'm really confused how UFW firewalled most, but not all, of my relays traffic.
What UFW rules do other relay operators enact?
Thanks,
Likogan
