Support Us
Sponsor an exit relay
A suggested donation is 18 Euros or 18.15 US dollars - which will sponsor one of my exit relays in Germany for a complete year.
If you want to donate twice this amount - eg 36 euros or 36.30 US dollars; you will then be able to sponsor a complete VPS in Germany which will be able to host two exit relays for one year.
Sponsors can have their nickname or preferred name listed on this page if they like - along with the sponsor exit relay time they have donated.

zimmer family hitting max descriptor size
https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/tor/-/issues/40837
Quetzalcoatl relays came across an issue which I never expected.
The family listing of our multiple relatively small servers, running multiple relays became too big for the directory authorities to process, and they simply got rejected. They would run, but would never be listed or shared with the tor network. I had to trim some of my relays in order to get them functioning again.
This has created a block currently on adding more relays to the Quetzalcoatl family.
The issue and possible workarounds are being discussed on the torproject gitlab website.
zimmer family hitting max descriptor size
So for now no more new relays.
This issue came about because of the ability recently to add four relays per ip instead of just two. Not long afterwards it was increased to eight relays per ip. I had switched many of my servers running only two relays to eight relays for those servers which could handle the increased load. My total family jumped from about 160 relays to over 360.
There seems no immediate solution in sight, so my exit relay family will stay the same size for now.
