I do wonder why 2 exit relays (at the same IP address) dropped down from about 8,000 connections to about 1,000 connections after exactly 1 month + 2 hours after they were installed.
Furthermore metrics.t.o shows:
IPv4 Exit Policy Summary reject 1-65535
It is a hardened Gentoo with LibreSSL, no changes to torrc AFAICT. FWIW I do use offline keys here (for the first time) with a lifetime of 3 months.
Rebooted today the system and upgraded from 0.3.5.3-apha to 0.3.5.4-alpha - doesn't helped.
