[tor-relays] Tor bridge on Windows 10 going down for a reasonIcannot detect?

[Keifer Bly]

UPDATE: When I came home today, tor had been down for 1 hour, when I checked the pc the tor software (the tor expert bundle cmd application) had exited, which is strange as I never closed it. Perhaps there is something with the Windows command line that causes tor to quit?

Your thoughts are appreciated, thank you.

➢ “AT&T does not like the idea of a part of the I'net they don't control and have stated that "Anytime we find a user on a TOR network we will slow down their connection" this about 8 years ago. “ 

The isp is not AT&T, which I agree would be a bad idea with the profiling they’ve been doing on users since at least 2006. The ISP is Charter. I have been running a relay for some time without much issue, and tor browser works fine on the same PC (it seems to me like the tor browser would not work either if it were an issue with tor being frowned upon).

All of them. 

Because I cant find (quick duckduckgo search) anything about this. And Wireshark would notice some packets on the wire if Windows 10 would copy anything back to MS. Also can´t find anything about AT&T. 

MS statement by Bill Gates was a Article published in I think it was '95 or 6.  The contracts with cable companies are published via trades over the last several years (6-7)  AT&T does not like the idea of a part of the I'net they don't control and have stated that "Anytime we find a user on a TOR network we will slow down their connection" this about 8 years ago.  Access with DHS and NSA are strictly participatory and like with "Facebook in 2016" questionably illegal based on "FISA" warrants and your 6th amendment right to face your accuser.  All this, of course is the reason Julian Asange and Edward Snowden have been forced to flee the country.  But then again, I am no one...

Not knowing the ISP service I cannot say for certain, but, ATT and most of the cable companies have signed agreements with NSA and DHS to interrupt services to the dark web, or at least report and track access.  MS Win10 is actually copying everything back to the MS servers furthering Bill Gates dream of having "Every Computer in the World on a single peer to peer network".  See if there is a "Router" log that might identify an external access problem or "Denial of access" issue.  Good Luck!!!
