[tor-relays] Unwarranted discrimination of relays with dynamic IP

[Rana]

Wow, I cannot think of a way to check the max number of connections on my router. I do not believe that Pi has such limitation...

Speed tests don't test the things tor needs.

The 5 tor bandwidth authorities say your relay can't handle much bandwidth. They say it can sustain around 14KB/s when they check.

This might mean your Pi or your broadband router is overwhelmed with too many connections. Do you know what the maximum connection capacity is on your router and your relay?
Can you increase it to at least 8000?

Or it could be that your latency to Europe and North America is high.
(Relays in Asia, Australia, and New Zealand have similar issues.)
