I should have also mentioned in my previous post I put the following in /etc/tor/torrc
# Bandwidth and data caps AccountingStart day 19:45 # calculate once a day at 7:45pm AccountingMax 33 GBytes # 33GB X 30 days = 10GB shy of 1000GB/mo. RelayBandwidthRate 3000 KBytes RelayBandwidthBurst 3750 KBytes # allow higher bursts but maintain average
There are 7/12 months that have 31 days, where your 33GB per day will result in a (potential) 23GB overuse. (And that's not including non-tor traffic like OS updates.) Why not use 32GB x 31 days = 992GB, or 31GB x 31 days = 961GB ? teor pgp 0xABFED1AC hkp://pgp.mit.edu/ https://gist.github.com/teor2345/d033b8ce0a99adbc89c5 http://0bin.net/paste/Mu92kPyphK0bqmbA#Zvt3gzMrSCAwDN6GKsUk7Q8G-eG+Y+BLpe7wt...

Why not use 32GB x 31 days = 992GB, or 31GB x 31 days = 961GB ?
The number for the RelayBandwidthRate seems on the high side as well. One thing I have noticed since I changed my configuration is I keep maxing out the 32GB and my node doesn't seem to be flagged as a Guard node. The main reason I chose port 80 is to make it available to some users that are otherwise blocked, but if the node doesn't obtain a Guard flag it seems kind of pointless to use port 80. So what is better in terms of health of the Tor Network? Current config: iptables redirects port 80 to 9001.

That seems like a better approach. I will implement that and thanks for the suggestion.
