Had a lot of trouble with the relay over the past day.
Anyone else seeing problems with us-west?
And like at the moment, I seem to often be the only one sending data to the relay, not receiving anything from the relay.
... it suddenly comes back to life with a truck load of Receives for a very short time, but again now back to only me Sending

I rearranged my bitcoinds (10 days ago) and ended up with the relay using the external IP
(will fix it next time I restart bitcoind, don't like doing that too often)
Anyway, as a result it got itself banned - seems the relay had a lot of bad transactions 6 hours ago

Can you paste the log contents around those lines (ie why it got banned?)(will fix it next time I restart bitcoind, don't like doing that too often)

Well, both US East and US West are dead for me for the last few days. Figured Matt was traveling per his post above so didn't complain.
Matt - Any chance you could just set both US East/West servers to just automatically restart every day at midnight or something?
Just fixed a bug which could cause the resets we've seen. Lets see what happens now..... Matt - Any chance you could just set both US East/West servers to just automatically restart every day at midnight or something?
I think something is wrong with us-east. I'm pointed to us-west now, which is working fine for me.
With us-east, I get messages below. My outbound transactions are working.

My relay connection is recently getting banned by bitcoind. Two things have changed for my node. The Linux host is now a VM, although with plenty of resources and running on SSD. And I have recently upgraded bitcoind to v10. The clock is synched via ntp and resources do not appear stressed.
The messages below are from the bitcoind debug log. 192.168.44.100 is one of the local IP's. relaynetworkclient runs on the same Linux VM as bitcoind.

. That said, you should probably be running on localhost anyway as a malicious actor could potentially get you to ban the relay client (though its not very possible to DoS very significantly over the relay network) So.... are the relays just not being maintained anymore?
No, they are...minimally. Sadly other things are taking precedance, but when I'm not travelling they do get restarted as things fall over .

East Coast still down (connection resets)
(connection resets)
Getting connection resets from the East Coast Node again for the last day or so. On West for now.
You could whitelist the ip of the relayclient in your bitcoin.conf? It should really connect with 127.0.0.1 ip though, if it is running on the same machine.

Had a quick look at this but couldn't see it was possible.
Would it be much effort to allow it to connect to multiple bitcoinds?
i.e. if you had 2 bitcoinds in a local network, have it talk to both directly
(having 2 local bitcoinds pointing at each other is crap slow and unreliable
)
The somewhat stale branch of https://github.com/TheBlueMatt/RelayNode/commits/for-w does exactly this. It should be an easy rebase. Would it be much effort to allow it to connect to multiple bitcoinds?

) Is there a method to get it to just relay blocks instead of blocks and transactions? It doesn't accept connections to port 8334 anymore, is the only way to do it to modify the source?
That would defeat the purpose. It compresses blocks by pre-relaying transactions. 
ofc ipv6 is unreachable, since I disabled it in sysctl.conf.
If you disable ipv6 in sysctl by removing all ipv6 support things are going to break. You need ipv6 support, though you dont need to have ipv6 configured (it just uses ipv6 sockets for ipv4 because doing both is way too much code complexity)
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1
thing going on.

East Coast US relay is spouting errors. Using US West for now.
