Currently, looks like two main issues and a minor third issue for forest18
Right now the biggest issue is that, although they unblocked the IPs not too long ago, they've been re-blocked and they are now "looking into the issue". Hopefully they will unblock them again.
2) Fast flag: The speed is also very slow, shown by very low bandwidth scanner results from the 6 bandwidth directory authorities (Consensus Weight from Authorities, i.e. "Cons Wt" in source below).
I'm having that problem with many of my relays. The relay's CPU and port are absolutely capable of handling a sustained 100 Mbps. From what I understand, the problem is that the bandwidth authorities are mostly concentrated in the Americas and western Europe, so they mistake high latency for poor bandwidth capacity. I don't know how to fix that. I assume running multiple relays on the same VPS would help, although that seems to me like a crappy hack to patch up a real problem. Meanwhile, of the 33 VPSes I have, each of the 3 in the Netherlands that I bought on a Black Friday sale simply because they were cheap pass more traffic than all my non-US, non-EU servers combined, despite scoring a bit low on speedtests. It would be nice if authorities simply increased the consensus weight of distant servers proportional to their distance. It's a bit discouraging to run a relay in South Africa for months and have it pass 0.4 MiB/s when a server in Europe for a fraction of the price and a slower network port and CPU passes 12 MiB/s after just a few weeks.
3) Uptime: Relay reports and operator directly controls, also shows low, ~2 days.
I brought all my servers down for a few hours recently. That could be the reason for that. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEEvLrj6cuOL+I/KdxYBh18rEKN1gsFAmlSQjkACgkQBh18rEKN 1gtfgQ//dezd7LcYVE2hQ58VSWSpzA7u0t2m6Hv/OPnw4zoQIvm+VaMJFtc88/Mv ah4diOt1W7+zMfn/VvyAf7rO/M9VOQ6wjMAlDISnIeGwV70zxx7d3IricCslT03c keFuihoAPFOTnfVOstEWFid1QZoD21lQC3jx8ZIb1UOvXzeq/pVgj87jurRonjLg 7DHRT4RIb5HKvJi3H4GyQG7QFd35rQioxbslnFEkAC3j7wPv7nMC3qTKO5eNTSWL qevI7LmFnYISln71coclbF6zYlGIWIPW5n9Re2pikzA0zyQHS9X0d9DUiJgBNYLa 1h57YqIhkUuP+DRTwaXvdyCQUJ8cFL91qk5ZbccSH74jlWsv6/PN7FYDF0QR+0Fl VtrjWKnElvEzF0vCwe7QksR9ylceCy4T8/wzT7EuSXs8tBd+ykJNEvsu+GH3hhrK uAXIxt2Gnr2Pd8COzFNLAoQkw9WGAXMyX9CRBmjCcqMipN8ya0g4K+ASQcGocmOf Q/yO9uahUi3P9SsN2BLH3qnutBAL5191C5CMjLo1cD8OARLIaknzOCa9z70PSkA7 480YpWMuKWjQzx2rjyuaSwzA5mT8Vh4q7vp7vJZRjHm5U52oZKooN4uzKQnCaMYo c6FSVqZfaQ6+Ktt6GAZ59cdD0Ymwx9glTRcqjpl84QN1BBTAlRY= =EYhC -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
