[tor-relays] Why is my Tor bridge relay not getting any traffic?

2019-08-26 Thread Hikari
Hello everybody! I used to run a Tor bridge on Windows at home, where I have a 300/150 Mbps ISP. This Windows has memory leak and crashes after some hours, ad I believe that was making my bridge never get traffic. A few weeks ago I moved it to a Ubuntu server, also at home. I use uptimerobot

A few years ago I had some Intel Atoms with Scaleway. Same problem. Its the best a Atom can do :/ niftybunny > On 26. Aug 2019, at 11:06, Jochen wrote: > > Hi there, I'm the operator of the following two exit nodes: > > https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#search/family:94C268630BEDCB64E7F

Right now, Tor is not multithreaded. This is a well-documented issue. You have a two options: * Get multiple IPv4 addresses and explain Tor is not multithreaded as the justification * Consider getting one with a good single-core performance as opposed to more cores (I don't know if Scalewa

Hi there, I'm the operator of the following two exit nodes: https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#search/family:94C268630BEDCB64E7F8881881A23D053F243C18 My CPU is an Intel C2750 (8 cores total), which supports hardware accelerated AES yet a single process still maxes out at only ~150mbit/s.
