Mangled metrics and more

I am currently looking at a relay's data on metrics.torproject.org. It is still listed as "first seen 31 days ago" although it has been active since the second half of 2025. Was this not supposed to get fixed for all relays? More importantly, over the last four weeks the amount of traffic routed through this node has dropped sharply, to less than half of what was in March 2026. Consensus weight has dropped significantly as well, which I assume is connected. The relay is online most of the time, with brief interruptions in the form of reboots about once a week. It uses the latest available version of Tor. I do not know what could cause this massive decline in node usage. Perhaps someone here can enlighten me? -Ralph

OneProvider using now Scaleway AS

Hi everyone, Until now, I’ve been managing three exit nodes with OneProvider (WIIT), which is generally considered Tor-friendly. But apparently, they’re now working with ScaleWay, and my fourth server in the Netherlands—which I’d just set up—was suspended in less than 24 hours, and I have to pay $100 to the UCPROTECT mafia... I just wanted to let you know that they’re now using AS12876 (Scaleway SAS), which is already well known... As for me, I’m switching to maxko-hosting -- Alain alias DeuZa alias 0x2A

The tor-realay-list and the tor-ddos project will soon go down
by Chris Enkidu-6 03 May '26

Due to a serious Illness Soon I will not be able to maintain that list anymore. Without that list the Enkidu-6 Tor-DDOS iptable lists will become useless because they all point to the tor-relay-lists. I'm looking at someone established with enough resources to maintain that list and I'd be glad to offer them the source code for how I get that list. You'll just need to associate your PGP key with your Github account and hopefully have at least two separate servers to run the Cron job on. Any dedicated takers please let me know. The whole thing will go down in probably a couple of weeks. Thank you all for taking the time to read my post.
