Hello, This is the first tor relay I have set up, it has been running for going on 4 days. I was waiting for the 3 day lag period I have read about but still no activity, besides the 30 MBs or so per day. It is running on my vps located in the Netherlands. The thing that is strange is when I search for "windywillow" on the atlas it finds two relays, same ip's, same ports. the thing is they both say that the server has been down for the last 3 days when it has been running and recieving a trickle of activity with no adverse log entries. I noticed a day ago that I lost the "Valid" flag. nothing has changed as far as know since it was valid so I'm at a loss. Here are the links to the two atlas pages. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi.
Are you sure that the Tor process is still running and the ORport is still reachable? It seems like there were two Tor processes running on the same VPS with different fingerprints but on the same port (which is not possible. You can run two processes on the same IP address, but you have to assign different ORports for both Tor instances). Was this your set-up, or did you recently delete your old fingerprint and let Tor generate a new one? That might explain the duplicate entry in the consensus database. Could you post an excerpt of the log file(s) from for example the past day?
Kind regards, Viktor

This url: https://metrics.torproject.org/relay-search.html?search=5.178.64.203 shows that it started out with the F51A... identity key, was in the consensus for one hour, and then switched keys (perhaps you reinstalled, or you started running the Tor daemon with a different DataDirectory?), and then it was in the consensus two times a few days ago with a new key, and that's it.
Ah ha!
You advertise an ipv6 address: or-address [2a00:1ca8:37::d85a:e8d5]:29888 which appears to be unreachable.
You are the second person to have this problem -- the directory authorities are choosing to mark you as non-Running because not all of your addresses are reachable. I wonder how we can make it more obvious to the relay operator when this situation occurs?
