Hi TimTNX for your fast response. I'm afaid, that I have to stay with my current ISP. However, from time to time he keeps my IP address unchanged for up to 4 days. Mike -------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: teor <teor2345@gmail.com> Datum: 24.10.16 14:34 (GMT+01:00) An: tor-relays@lists.torproject.org Betreff: Re: [tor-relays] IP address change

Hi There My ISP changes my IP address about every 24 hours. It takes 10 minutes until my tor server recognises this, and an hour until all usual connections are reestablished. How can I speed this up?

The tor directory authorities vote on relays every hour. There is no way to speed this up.

Does it help to use a DNS?

No, Tor uses your IP address.

To pay for a static address is not an option. Any ideas? Thank you. Mike

I'm sorry, this is just how Tor is designed. But you are still contributing to the network. You could try renting a cheap server in a data centre. Most of them offer static IP addresses.
