So I bit the bullet and started running an Exit Node (Andromeda), still early days with a few problems, namely:- # It hasn't been given a Stable flag yet. # Some problem with dns resulting in [WARN] eventdns: All nameservers have failed - i've switched the dns to 8.8.8.8, only seen that error once since # The Consensus Weight was gaining nicely and reached over 7,000 but now has dive bombed to just 20, with that the speed dropped from ~50mbps to ~5mbps https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/FDB4FC238F13E7FEC99D025DB8B89A636EFC1E... Is this all normal or something i've overlooked? Alan
Yes. Even with your own name server this will happen. You will get used to it, ignore it :) Markus

Please don't use Google's DNS servers. There is plenty of material in the mailing list archive on why this is a bad idea and alternatives.

Thanks for the advice, i've reverted the dns back to the one supplied by ovh, namely 213.186.33.99 Alan

If you are having problems with your provider's DNS servers being unable to handle the query load, you can set up a local caching DNS resolver. (Then you can direct that resolver to whichever DNS servers you want it to query.)
