A few V2Dir flag questions
Post Body

I've found conflicting opinions online and haven't found a definitive answer, apologies if I'm asking common questions but I can't find the answer in the search box either.

  1. For a relay to be a guard does it need the V2Dir flag?
  2. For the V2Dir does the relay have to be serving clients with directory information? I heard this uses a lot of extra bandwidth so I’m debating on whether to enable it or not.
  3. My relay started with the V2Dir flag and now it’s gone, I’m not using a DirPort config value so why did it appear in the first place?

Edit: Received answer on IRC. You need the V2Dir flag to get the Guard flag, you don’t get the V2Dir flag if you have Accounting fields setup in your torrc.
