I have a server at Hetzner with a monthly limit of 20TB, and I am trying to adjust the speed so that it does not exceed 20TB at the end of the month. The problem is that whenever I place the BandwidthRate and BandwidthBurst above 10MB I lose the Guard, HSdir and V2Dir flags. On the page https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#search/TugaOnion I see that DirPort is 0 instead of 9030. I have the BandwidthRate and BandwidthBurst at 9MB and everything is fine, but I will reach the end of the month and I only spent about 10TB. >> > > Check your logs.
