hi
i am wondering , because i constantly becoming less and less traffic / or given Bandwidth for a Tor exit relay with a bunch of flags .. the exit is on a debian, vserver with quit a lot of machine power behind, has it own IPv4 and there is also enough bandwidth (i checked this regulary with speedtests or fake downloads of whatever distros) https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/2AC2306BD625A9DD75532886842C268C3CDBBC...
i didnt change anything in configuration, beside one small thing after getting dozens of apache errorcode 504 port 80 and 443 to the Tor-IPv4.. and so i startet to make a fail2ban rule, because this doesnt make sense, also this comes often from a variety aof IPv4 en block from russia, china, korea (mostly) - so i optet for fail2ban more than ignoring these errors.
This is the only thing i could imagine which connects to the network drop (ok some internet police whitehat watchers argue there is bad traffic here and than .. but this is "normal" i guessed for tor-exit) So i turned my rule of some 2-3 days, to see if this makes the drop in bandwidth - no effect. So i restartet back the fail2ban rule.
So my question - tor hides in port 80 / 443 traffic - is this what i mistakingly block / or interfere .. or how this drop from near 14 Mb to 1,9 Mb is explainable? (while normal traffic on server goes well)
thx, viisauksena
