Yeah I have read both of those and I wasn't expecting it to be instant, I have many relays that are ~6 months in age so I know about the ramp up. Thanks thought. =) -- Kura t: @kuramanga [https://twitter.com/kuramanga] w: https://kura.io/ [https://kura.io/] g: @kura [http://git.io/kura] On 02/

In case you haven't already seen it, you should only run two Tor processes per IP address: https://www.torservers.net/wiki/setup/server#multiple_tor_processes Best regards, Alexander --- PGP Key: https://dietrich.cx/pgp | 0x727A756DC55A356B On 2015-01-02 17:06, Kura wrote: > Thanks fo

Actually, on 2nd thought, you may not have to limit your bandwidth because Tor MAY handle this for you. Also, it's recommended to run your (presumably, 8) servers on different network addresses as well. If you are running a colocation rack this won't be difficult, but if you are doing this from yo

Yep, you got it. Multiple processes with different configurations. You should also limit their bandwidths proportionally so you don't saturate your network interface. On Fri, Jan 2, 2015 at 9:48 AM, Kura wrote: > Hey guys, I recently decided to get myself an 8 core, 16 GB RAM machine to > use fo

Hey guys, I recently decided to get myself an 8 core, 16 GB RAM machine to use for running an exit relay and was wondering, Tor only works on one core, even setting NumCPUs to 2 doesn't do a whole lot so, how is it even possible to get more than maybe, 300Mbps or so from one relay? Maybe I'm mis
