Hi most of my relays are no longer listed on Torstatus* and Consensus**. But they perform like they should. out $E388F7BD196F5195AEF114552585152EA6942329 out $2691AE47D3E1D5702520F2792951927C9FE82C67 out $8d1a618c523a8cc761b7253e96c6d19285c47029 out $05d54acea361a57b16cd461340bd3

Hey Folks, is there a common procedure for testing a tor server for a high load? Thanks in advance -- -BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) mQENBFHMmT8BCAC0smvU7Bq1ABxAhvBRn7d4ekkk95aCE4TTQo4wy1z/rGLhQfdt dhiD+Vy61vGrsdK3ei5sW6rBvX2m8+YmBi+8AAgSiZmS0JM3Zz3cmTi5

Hi, If you are on a dedicated high Bandwidth server you can maybe use your relay as client, an idea could be to open a lot of "wget" commands. sudo apt-get install torsocks usewithtor wget URL But it's not guaranteed that the selected circuits will be super-fast (first reason to open lot of wg

Hi Julien, thats exactly the setup I'm actually using. I use my relay as a client. >From my point of view it seems that the relay is used as a entry point (without guard flag) in this constellation (correct me if I'm wrong). Torsocks could solve my problem. My goal is to examine the influence o

What an interesting coincidence, tor-specific load is down to about 1/3 of its' normal which is in the 20mb/s range usually. I was worried my experimentation got me dinged as a badexit but that's not the case, and otther people are seeing odd things... On Sun, Jan 11, 2015 at 7:40 AM, ZEROF wro

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA512 Having discussed this with my partner earlier today, I am curious as to what knowledge the community might have on overclocking a CPU or using other speciality hardware to create an ultra fast Tor relay. I am aware of what IPredator have done but I f

Hi, chutney can be used to setup a large test tor network running solely on a single machine, with no outside network access required. The tor/src/test/test-network.sh script will configure an entire test tor network and verify connectivity from each client through the network. This works best

Hi List, I'm seeing these messages in one of my relays. Pretty often, too. eventdns: Address mismatch on received DNS packet. Apparent source was : I've searched this and found references[1] to a faulty resolver of some type and torservers.net ignores the message[2]. I use my ISPs resolvers
