Do you have 4,500-7,000 open connections? That slows my machine's networking down quite a bit, but I think it's pretty rare for a small router to have that many. Another complication that doesn't apply to you is Tor's crypto. I don't know how many AES and ed25519 operations Tor demands per network packet, but (especially when the proxied traffic is TLS-encrypted) it's quite a few. No AES-NI, either. > > It seems to be running at full capacity doing so, > > I don't know much about tor.

If I recall correctly, netperf lets me move ~100 Mbps in each direction, as the dedicated server provider advertised. Regardless, my current setup uses all of my allotted monthly bandwidth, so I'm not looking to change anything.
