DNS Caching (not Cash) simple does a normal lookup for an DNS domain requested and remembers it for some period of time so that it can answer from its cache of known addresses in microseconds (instead of the hundreds of milliseconds it might take to inquire over the internet) the next time that

Hi all I have my first Tor relay up und running. It's currently installed on a little desktop computer with an Intel i5 9500T CPU. My Internet connection is 10Gb/s symetric. From this bandwidth, I would be able to spend a good part for supporting the Tor network. With that little machine, it

Two suggestions: 1)  Run speedtest (https://www.speedtest.net) from behind your firewall and verify your actual bandwidth (or at least get a good approximation ). 2)  Check the brand of NIC in your current machine.  Intel NICs are reportedly much more efficient than RealTek for handling larg

Hello Kevin Thanks a lot for your response. 1) Regarding the speedtest, my firewall is limiting the speed to around 6.5Gbit/s. It's a fanless device and not capable to let me use the full 10Gbit/s. I host my hardware in my living room and can't install more powerfull, beacuse it would be too
