[tor-relays] not specified families

No, there no reason to set MyFamily when you only admin a single node. That said, I just followed the link you referenced, and it leaves my scratching head a little. The description of NodeFamily is: "The Tor servers, defined by their identity fingerprints or nicknames, constitute a "family"

[tor-relays] Relay vs. bridge: difference in traffic?

2012-01-05 Thread Steve Snyder
Can someone tell how being a bridge compares to being a regular exit node in terms of traffic? I can see how there would less traffic as a bridge since the node isn't advertised. On the other hand, there are many fewer bridges than regulat nodes so maybe the traffic on a given bridge is great
