A 128MB VPS can comfortably support an obfsproxy bridge - just get a provider that doesn't reboot you a ton. I've run a number of such bridges. I would not go below 512MB RAM for a relay that is going to handle more than 2Mbps (about 200KB/sec) - you will eventually run out of RAM and Tor will be killed, and that's not great for the network. My source for the above is a lot of blood, sweat and tears with Tor on the Raspberry Pi model B. :) Best, - -Gordon M. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEcBAEBCgAGBQJSZAigAAoJED/jpRoe7/ujGs0H/3XB/6CeJvHY+ee7Qq5781Ag IUwF5ykSzsLL3QkR8tZzbcG14J/O14DKimIUC/R3d0fX6z5tFfreAGgKqKVY0ZrQ Fw8/xTDF2f3F6FlQL/YqyidY7RH40axAs5Megwk42PSGkmEMPeQVBPlao3f2jTSt RqUtlbqp0nU71aXbgqUpyDXNxAF9OHmc7RrPWALyRkmJodtbyZpdVFQvfBRObjzh KAMbHva37uKuuTxo1QuaaySSFFSJZM6c5wjkBL2KY5xoOrkmd+uJ+Zqu22YAjl7t v5wZllUanel/vVYGIDeIaNdWRAclmks+KWFvZ5apYogqS2Q9h9dGtMzEnRQ4XJE= =gWI3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
