Thanks for the prompt response. My apologies for the omission in the original post. My relays are called 405test1 and 405test2. Both relays are vm's on a proxmox server with the only difference in set up being port numbers. I have had both operating since July 2022 with no issues. Thanks again!

Bridges more or less function as guard relays except their IP addresses are not known. Having a bridge with an IP address that's already know somehow defeats the purpose.
As far as I'm concerned the list of relays should not be public. Only exit relays need to be known for liability reasons. Once we stop publishing IP addresses of relays, the need for bridges will be greatly reduced.
That being said, I believe if your relay is no longer a relay for a week, it will be removed from the public relay list. Not sure if it will be removed from the censors' list. ??

Good morning,
According to tor metrics, there have been nearly three times the number of relays as bridges over the last three months so I would like to move my handful of middle relays to bridges. They will keep their same IP address. Is there a best practice with regards to doing this so the directories don't get confused?
Make your day great, Isaac Grover
