[tor-relays] DIR Port. and NATO

[Dr Gerard Bulger]

Roger, thank for the answer.  Reason of no DIR port will be Accounting Max Enabled, although every unlikely I would reach the max I set, I use those settings to give me instant total usage within ARM

While searching for some suitable wording if I ever get abuse complaints again, and searching the legal risks within Europe of Exits, I was rather surprised found NATO published a detailed appraisal of Tor.   I thought it rather good, not very technical, and fair although it may be getting out of date.

Check out your logs as the relay starts. Look for a log message like

      log_notice(LD_DIR, "Not advertising Dir%s (Reason: %s)",
                 dir_port ? "Port" : "ectory Service support", reason);

Common reasons include "AccountingMax enabled" and "BandwidthRate under 50KB".

In general, it's fine for Tor to decide not to advertise your DirPort.
Everything else is still working fine. Thanks for running a relay!
