Hi everybody,
Second time it happen to me so I would like to know if you have ideas about it. Sometimes after a reboot, I haven't the following message into the log :
"Self-testing indicates your ORPort is reachable from the outside. Excellent. Publishing server descriptor."
And after a while (fortunately), I receive a warning (Tor Weather) because my server is shown as offline.
So I just type /etc/init.d/tor stop and /etc/init.d/tor start, and it works fine.
I would like to know how does the test works, in order to check what can fail during the test. If my server's IP (95.130.9.190) is not reachable by a part of the Internet for example, in order to open a support ticket with my ISP (do you know how I can easily check it ?).
Also, since few month now, the bandwith usage seems to keeps far below what I had before (even with a good consensus weight, fresh OS install with new keys and name a month ago) so I now realize that may be there is a problem somewhere with this machine.
Thank you in advance for your help and ideas !
Best Regards, Julien ROBIN
