Betreff: Re: [tor-relays] Tor relay from home - end of experiment?
>Hi There>This is a pretty interesting topic. I have been running a Rasp Pi 3
>based relay since August this year. By now, I am up to about 1,300 incomming
>and outgoing connections, and a max of >about 21mbps. This is about 50% of the
>max. upload speed. Consensus weight is between 3,000 and 6,000. The CPU is
>running at 20% max. However, my local ISP disconnects me after 24 >to 36
>hours. From my point of view this is the only disadvantage. > >For a home

>get a stable, or even guard flag? What are your experiances?>MikeMy experience
>is bad, the relay is not taking off at all, I have consensus weight of 19 and

>What’s the total traffic the Pi sends every 6 hours (reported in the Tor log

>/var/log/tor/notices.log.1)? About 19 GB in the last 6 hour period, with a
