Help - My relay consensus has been stripped back to 20
On the 29th December one of our relays, bigbud (6911888F83565892FE23F1B03EB501D80E1E8780) which had a consensus of 630+ and had been running for nearly 18 months (100 days uptime running 2.5.8) suddenly started receiving much less traffic. I have seen a gradual reduction in traffic over the course of the last year but on the 29th the drop off was very significant and I saw in Atlas that the consensus is dropped to 20. When I look at the consensus files it shows that bigbud has a consensus of 20 and that Unmeasured was set to 1. Any ideas please? I upgraded Tor to 2.5.10 after I noticed the consensus drop. Is this something to do with the Lizard new relay flood or something or is there an actual problem with the relay? On a related note the relay lost guard status too a few months ago and I couldn't see why that would be.
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 This was reported yesterday 01.01.2015 in IRC too, for this relay: 3D7E274A87D9A89AF064C13D1EE4CA1F184F2600 The same it was pushing good amounts of traffic and the consensus weight dropped to 20 with no modifications made to the Tor config file or anything. You are the 3rd person who reports this, seams like worth investigating further. I can see both of them are exits, but doubt this has anything to do with it. Could it be a measurement problem from the bandwidth authorities? Why would it happen only to very few relays in this case? On 1/3/2015 1:28 AM, bigbudtor@Safe-mail.net wrote:

The criterias for the guards changed a few months ago but i can't find the text right now. You can see a nose dive regarding the guards a few months ago (metrics.torproject.org) -- Sincerely yours / Sincères salutations Sebastian Urbach ----------------------------------------- Definition of Tor: 10% luck, 20% skill, 15% concentrated power of will, 5% pleasure, 50% pain and 100% reason to remember the name! -----------------------------------------
