Upgrade your 'tarragon' Tor relay?
by Roger Dingledine 06 Apr '20

Hi William, You are running a Tor relay, which is great: http://rougmnvswfsmd4dq.onion/rs.html#details/1D4AB6248E3D7DF9C4FBE40DCFAA3… First: that Tor version is obsolete, and because of old bugs, we will soon cut relays running those versions out of the network. Please consider upgrading! Second: let us know if there is any way to help you bump up the bandwidth that you are allocating to the Tor relay. :) You can find Tor packages for your distro / OS here: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TorRelayGuide#Platformspecifi… Ideally you will switch to keeping up with our stable releases, but if you need a stable that is especially stable, the Tor 0.3.5 branch will be maintained until Feb 2022: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkTeam/CoreTor… and you can see the lifetimes of other Tor versions on that table too. Let us know if we can do anything to make the process easier. And lastly, I am cc'ing the new network health mailing list (which has public archives), to help us stay synced: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkHealthTeam Thanks! --Roger

Let me know what you think. Looks good! https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/ED96C0D8C4EA7753D8F2A63BB00A… You could even bump up the available bandwidth, since relays with those tiny bandwidth numbers tend to attract less traffic -- it looks from the graphs above that your relay is doing maybe 30 or 40 KBytes/s as a long term average, which is a lot less than 500 KBytes/s. >TahoeTor2 may be removed from > any Tor system records. Old relays will naturally fall out of the 'relay search' web results. They will stay in the archived data sets at collector.torproject.org, as historical records about the Tor network. Thanks! --Roger

Hi, You are running a fast Tor relay, which is great: http://rougmnvswfsmd4dq.onion/rs.html#details/2D82EF77EB07AF2B3B1BC140AAB52… But that Tor version is obsolete, and because of old bugs, we will soon cut relays running those versions out of the network. Please consider upgrading! The Tor 0.3.5 long-term-stable branch will be maintained until Feb 2022: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkTeam/CoreTor… and you can see the lifetimes of other Tor versions on that table too.
