Re: [tor-relays] Hardware sizing for physical exit node

Hi, Imo mobile chips with mostly low-performance 'efficient cores' are a suboptimal fit for running Tor at scale. A couple of reasons: - Performance between the different core types (efficient vs. performance) is very different. You would need to lock Tor processes to specific cores and accept

Hi everyone, we are planning to get some hardware to run a physical Tor exit node, starting with a 1Gbps dedicated, unmetered uplink (10Gbps downlink). We will also route a /24 on it, so we will have large availability of addresses to run multiple instances. We have been running a few exit nod
