Hi, i want to check if the relay has a good configuration.
Also i have another question, why the speed of the relay is so slow, i have a VPS with a connection of 100mb/s, the relay is new.
This is torrc: ORPort 443 Exitpolicy reject *:* Nickname Freedom4Anarchists ContactInfo nomail@... RelayBandwidthRate 85 MB RelayBandwidthBurst 90 MB DisableDebuggerAttachment 0
Be careful! The "MB" above is megabytes per second. So your 100mbit connection is rate limited to 680mbit.
This is why the sample torrc file these days says "MBytes" rather than "MB".
As for why your new relay isn't handling much traffic yet, see https://blog.torproject.org/blog/lifecycle-of-a-new-relay
But also see the recent discussions here about the bandwidth authorities, since a lot of the load on your relay will depend on what weights the bandwidth authorities vote about your relay, and these votes are not exactly perfect lately.
Thanks for running a relay! --Roger
