Port 53 over TCP (DNS) seems useless, it won't be used at all or only very rarely - your exit already resolves domain names for your clients, this is why it's recommended to have a local recursive resolver installed instead of passing on DNS requests to remote services such as Google or Cloudflare

P.S: If you were not asking about relays on OVH, my bad - had their company name stuck in my head due to your previous posts to the mailing list. 2020-05-20 21:07 GMT, William Kane : > Port 53 over TCP (DNS) seems useless, it won't be used at all or only > very rarely - your exit already resolves

Hi Alexander, I am a customer of Wedos Internet, and originally ordered this virtual machine back in 2014, as far as I know no hardware updates to the hypervisor were ever performed, so it's likely some older Intel Xeon (clocked at 2133.408MHz), guess with that information you can find the exact C

It sure is a problem for those on virtualized machines with only a single core. As far as offloading to a different worker thread goes, it should be very easy to implement code wise, Tor already does off-load some crypto stuff to a different thread when NumCPU's is set / detected appropriately. 2

Are you running that from home? Then don't. Are you running it from a datecenter? Ask the ISP if they allow Tor Exits. Then we will see! On 20/05/2020 09:24, mnlph74 wrote: > Hi, I'm running a non-exit relay for quite some time now and I would > like to open ports 53, 80, 443 (web ports) to be mor
