Tor authority maatuska reports significantly fewer Guard flags than consensus
Published · Updated
Following a power outage on 2025-10-27, the Tor directory authority maatuska has been reporting substantially fewer relays with Guard flags in its votes compared to the network consensus. While initial reports showed a discrepancy of over 3,000 flags, recent data from November 2026 indicates the gap persists, with maatuska voting for roughly half the Guard relays of other authorities. The issue remains open.
