Dear Mr./Mrs.,
As I really like the Deep Web field, and wanted to know about Tor, I decided to create a guard relay, which is this one:
https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/037F39EF786C0623A059553869C0D...
I did all the configurations required, but after a couple of weeks, this relay is not considered a guard relay (entry relay) yet.
I am contacting you because I don't understand why my relay is not considered as a guard relay (entry relay), since I already have the following flags: Fast, HSDir, Running, Stable, V2Dir, Valid.
My configuration is:
Nickname securitses
ContactInfo securitses@gmail.com
ORPort 443
ExitRelay 0
ExitPolicy reject *:*
SocksPort 9050
AccountingStart day 0:00
AccountingMax 30 GBytes
BandwidthRate 301 KBytes
BandwidthBurst 350 KBytes
ControlPort 9051 HashedControlPassword <Hashed_password>
Thank you,
Yours sincerely,
Javier

The dir-spec.txt document (https://github.com/torproject/torspec/blob/main/dir-spec.txt) specifies what's needed for the different flags. For guard (line 2615) it says the following on bandwidth requirements:
- Its bandwidth is at least AuthDirGuardBWGuarantee (if set, 2 MB by default), OR its bandwidth is among the 25% fastest relays
So looks you need to have at least 2MB/s. Your relay is at 290KB/s

^^ Means: Relay hibernate every month. These settings disqualify your relay as long time stable, fast & familiar.

8< "Guard" -- A router is a possible Guard if _all_ of the following apply: - It is Fast, - It is Stable, - Its Weighted Fractional Uptime is at least the median for "familiar" active routers, - It is "familiar", - Its bandwidth is at least AuthDirGuardBWGuarantee (if set, 2 MB by default), OR its bandwidth is among the 25% fastest relays,... >8
