[tor-relays] Moving relay to other VPS

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:

     ------------------------+-------------+-------------+---------------
     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
