Re: [tor-relays] Outgoing Connections to middle nodes?

Hi MichaelThanks for the hint. I guess you are totally right! I forgot about the hidden services. Right now I have about 1100 in and out connections, makes totally sense.

Hi Mike, you forget about hidden services IN the Tor network. Not every connection tries to connect to domains or services outside the Tor network. So it could be that you are a middle relay having many outgoing connections to so-called rendezvous points. Have a look at this sentence here from [1]: "In general, the complete connection between client and hidden service consists of 6 relays: 3 of them were picked by the client with the third being the rendezvous point and the other 3 were picked by the hidden service."
