Router shuts down during Tor operation within your setup
Hello everyone, I've been operating a Tor relay on my NAS for roughly six months now. Around three to four months ago, my router started restarting unexpectedly. My ISP hasn't noticed anything unusual—they replaced all the hardware and everything seems normal. However, I've observed that after turning off the Tor relay and closing the ports, the restarts stopped completely. Initially, I thought it might be a tactic by my ISP to reduce my data usage since the Tor relay handled a significant amount of traffic—about 6 to 7TB monthly, plus my regular use. But these restarts also occurred when very little data was transferred, leaving me confused about what's really happening. My router is a Fritzbox Cable 6490 running firmware 7.01, and the restarts became less frequent with older firmware (around version 6). I'm seeking any insights or suggestions on possible causes.
