# This means that applications that require large data submission (eg
# SecureDrop or onionshare) should set this much higher
# (or set to 0 to disable):
circ_max_megabytes = 8

My site is less than 4MB so above config is okay.

I thought vanguards only applies this limit to:

1. My onion service <--- Tor user (incoming)
2. My onion service ---> Tor user (outgoing)

However your vanguards is breaking other connections such as:

1. apt with Tor[1]
2. wget download over Tor to clearnet site
3. curl POST something over Tor to clearnet site

Problem 1. I don't want to stop vanguards just for apt and other thing. Problem 2. I don't want to increase circ_max value just for this.

So could you please add a switch to limit only my-onion-site related connection and ignore else?

say,

# If true, vanguards will not apply max_mega limit non-onion connections.
# If false(default) vanguards will apply max_mega limit to all Tor connections.
# If your circ_max_megabytes is already 0, this settings does nothing.
circ_max_mega_ignore_clearnet_destination = true
