Dear Relay Operators,

Thanks to everyone who opted-in their relays as fallback directory mirrors.

We rebuilt the list of fallbacks in December 2018. [0] The new list was released in Tor 0.3.5.6-rc, and it was backported to all supported Tor releases. [1]

The FallbackDir flags on Consensus Health [2] have been updated. The flags on Relay Search [3] might take a few days to update.

Don't worry if your relay missed out this time. It's still helping Tor users. And we will rebuild the fallback list again in 6-12 months time.

We are tracking fallback changes in this ticket [4].

To opt-in your relays, add a comment to the ticket [4], or reply to this thread.

If you have multiple relays, you can opt-in as many as you like. (We picked up to 7 per operator this time, and we may pick more next time.)
