May I ask if it is necessary to install the Vanguard plugin on the bridge relay?

I have installed the Vanguard plugin on my two Tor relays, and I know this is not the intended use of the Vanguard plugin, so I would like to know if there are any negative consequences to doing this?

My native language is not English; this sentence was translated into English using an LLM.

Why would you be using it on a relay? It is designed for hidden services. I cant off the top of my head think if any negative reasons why you shouldnt run it, but packages that interfer with the default operation if tor should be avoided.

Also if is for DDIS mitigation, there are already tor approved packages for that. Tor Project | Onion service DoS guidelines
