Moving relay to other VPS

Hello I've noticed that when swapping machines the advertised bandwidth goes down to 0 and so does the consensus weight. Is it acting like I did a new relay? Did the IP change ?

In that case, this thread may be helpful https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-relays/2016-December/011117.html (Unwarranted discrimination of relays with dynamic IP) TLDR; There are advantages to resetting when a relay's IP address changes: * a changed IP usually means a changed network with different characteristics, * if the relay IP address changes, there's no guarantee it will be just as reachable or stable at the new IP, * stolen keys become much less valuable, * duplicate keys / failover strategies are discouraged. Regards, Murad.
Shouldn't matter. You can change the IP / location / name etc. of a bridge as long as you keep and transfer the keys. I have been doing this recently as I sadly needed to part ways with a provider: eno1 / daily day rx | tx | total | avg. rate ------------------------+-------------+-------------+--------------- 2021-12-02 6.74 GiB | 6.90 GiB | 13.64 GiB | 1.36 Mbit/s 2021-12-03 177.90 MiB | 35.86 MiB | 213.76 MiB | 20.75 kbit/s 2021-12-04 27.57 GiB | 22.56 GiB | 50.13 GiB | 4.98 Mbit/s 2021-12-05 1.13 GiB | 1.08 GiB | 2.21 GiB | 219.69 kbit/s 2021-12-06 12.93 GiB | 13.07 GiB | 26.00 GiB | 2.58 Mbit/s 2021-12-07 108.31 GiB | 109.24 GiB | 217.56 GiB | 21.63 Mbit/s 2021-12-08 406.08 GiB | 411.16 GiB | 817.23 GiB | 81.25 Mbit/s 2021-12-09 923.22 GiB | 932.68 GiB | 1.81 TiB | 184.51 Mbit/s 2021-12-10 1.71 TiB | 1.73 TiB | 3.44 TiB | 350.45 Mbit/s 2021-12-11 2.05 TiB | 2.08 TiB | 4.13 TiB | 420.44 Mbit/s 2021-12-12 3.07 TiB | 3.10 TiB | 6.17 TiB | 627.84 Mbit/s 2021-12-13 3.23 TiB | 3.28 TiB | 6.52 TiB | 663.39 Mbit/s 2021-12-14 4.03 TiB | 4.08 TiB | 8.11 TiB | 825.78 Mbit/s 2021-12-15 4.23 TiB | 4.29 TiB | 8.52 TiB | 867.33 Mbit/s 2021-12-16 3.04 TiB | 3.10 TiB | 6.13 TiB | 624.52 Mbit/s 2021-12-17 3.07 TiB | 3.11 TiB | 6.18 TiB | 629.40 Mbit/s 2021-12-18 3.02 TiB | 3.05 TiB | 6.07 TiB | 618.05 Mbit/s 2021-12-19 3.32 TiB | 3.34 TiB | 6.65 TiB | 677.30 Mbit/s 2021-12-20 3.56 TiB | 3.58 TiB | 7.14 TiB | 727.36 Mbit/s 2021-12-21 3.41 TiB | 3.43 TiB | 6.85 TiB | 697.23 Mbit/s 2021-12-22 4.16 TiB | 4.18 TiB | 8.34 TiB | 848.84 Mbit/s 2021-12-23 6.67 TiB | 6.71 TiB | 13.38 TiB | 1.36 Gbit/s 2021-12-24 6.51 TiB | 6.55 TiB | 13.06 TiB | 1.33 Gbit/s 2021-12-25 6.74 TiB | 6.78 TiB | 13.52 TiB | 1.38 Gbit/s 2021-12-26 8.35 TiB | 8.41 TiB | 16.76 TiB | 1.71 Gbit/s 2021-12-27 4.24 TiB | 4.30 TiB | 8.54 TiB | 2.04 Gbit/s ------------------------+-------------+-------------+--------------- estimated 9.93 TiB | 10.07 TiB | 20.00 TiB | => You can see around 10 days of ramp up to around 6 TiB of network traffic per day. I moved some additional nodes from a different provider there on the 22nd, ramping the average up to around 13 TiB per day and then again on the 26th to currently just above 20 TiB per day now. Maybe the relays were offline too long for it to work for you? I moved everything within 48 hours. Best Regards, Kristian Dec 26, 2021, 15:48 by tor@online-hangout.com:
