Just reporting back after some time. Today I noticed that my relay running at home with a dynamic IP got a guard flag again. So it’s totally possible for a relay to become a guard even after the authorities notice that it has a dynamic IP address.It must be noted though that the IP address didn’t change since it lost the guard flag the first time.
It looks like I had it wrong when I concluded that after the first IP change the relay wouldn’t became a guard anymore.
For reference, the relay fingerprint is F942EE73F1B8E39125F617FA85E80E4C9E540A2E.
The guard flag depends on uptime and bandwidth. (IP address changes create downtime and reset bandwidth.)
I really wouldn't worry about it too much.
Clients have multiple guards, they'll switch to another one if yours goes down.
