Relay not receiving Guard flag
Hi all, I've had a relay running for 41 days, with Flags: Fast HSDir Running Stable V2Dir Valid...but no Guard flag. My impression from "Lifecycle of a new relay" at https://blog.torproject.org/blog/lifecycle-of-a-new-relay is that the Guard flag should be added within about 2 weeks of starting a relay. Is that post out of date? Or am I missing something I need to enable to allow my relay to be a Guard?

That's my thought as well. Quoting Roger from a recent thread (from here: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-relays/2016-December/011519.html): "You need to get in the top 25% of the relays by speed. "Speed" in this case refers to consensus weights for recent enough authorities, or the number advertised in your relay descriptor for older authorities. Right now that varies by authority but it's in the 4 million to 7 million range." But, no worries, I think your relay will still be useful as a fast middle node in an under-represented region. Thanks for running a relay!
Nope that need not be it. I had my bridge relay running for many moths with a few Mbps BW and it steadily had the guard flag set. When doing the latest TOR upgrade I upped the BW-limit 100% but since that tor service restart it has now been running some 40 days without getting the guard flag back - despite being very stable and having double the BW it had earlier. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [tor-relays] Relay not receiving Guard flag Local Time: March 3, 2017 11:05 PM UTC Time: March 3, 2017 11:05 PM From: tor@anondroid.com To: tor-relays@lists.torproject.org Norris Thomlinson <norris@aktivix.org>

I'm also not getting my guard flag back, after testing a few adjustments 12 days ago and my consensus weight is much higher than yours: https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/F381D6294A93A0078B76D0DCA332133CF5C8F6...
