Unlikely - I do pseudo-QoS such that my uplink should never be full. It's possible, but I believe it's more likely that my router is thrashing for whatever reason and starts to be real slow at responding to DNS. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEcBAEBCgAGBQJSIi9ZAAoJED/jpRoe7/ujL2EH/0O7HxgB/g5nEKFxgz114cYC gnlNzKXc2xUYZ92vv7BnNwuZ6TuFvW1qNBXT+9T1ObYWngnn/e3Jz8QOF6axmTd3 C+l2asKurD6M4dqkY53miLzrd783JTkgiPYaW6bNdFrmy+hzYjTbHuShccFYgncb SWRXIMk6OXDqLhCyMAUjlR6Dd0yq6uJMAefmgLyEc9stvrRcrK8de0xD2/qVnHCi RNJVQXAjKk5NvOIiONBilDl1jQsGgUkENz0Rh9naN9tjOE+Ev0lWbhUZpA09+2is T2/IbXQXS8m9c4KfL6Z+aSufD9ALjQrYLNQBs6vzk+SEl4ghyCoMOMzPMGS2JvE= =z+Zl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
