Having a separate DirPort open matters less and less these days. In the past it used to be the signal for clients about whether you are providing cached directory information. Now every relay does that by default, and clients fetch it via the encrypted ORPort connection, so your DirPort will go mostly unused these days. So, "feel free if it's easy, but also feel free not to." Thanks for running a relay! --Roger

Also, you won't set DirPortFrontPage since you aren't an exit. (This is the only way I could come up with why asking about DirPort in the context of exit vs non-exit made sense) Hope that helps Matt

I have an exit page set on my nonexit guard just for easy identification by sysadmins investigating why their users are connecting to it. I don't have a specifically identifiable reverse hostname. On Thu, Aug 2, 2018, 15:11 TorGate <torgate@linux-hus.dk> wrote:
