Hi, I keep having issues with my home router - it keeps failing due to the number of connections and I would be grateful for some advice.
I have been running a (non-exit) middle relay for some time and up until now my router has mostly coped. It is what is what I got from my ISP, I can't afford to get a new one. At the minute I had to reset it on a daily basis which not only breaks tor circuits, but I am finding it increasingly hard to convince other people I live with that we need the relay when it causes them browsing issues. My relay connects via wire Ethernet. When I get to (approx) 900 incoming / 600 outgoing tor connections the router goes TITSUP. ACCOUNTING MAX is set to 8GBytes, I think the actual daily usage is about 4 GB though. RelayBandwidthRate is 250 KBytes, RelayBandwitdthBurst is 500KBytes. Although there are a few other devices / phones also connected, however I would estimate not more than a combined 2 GB daily HTTP / HTTPS traffic for all devices. No file sharing / P2P other than tor. My DSL speed is approx 50 mbits download / 15 mbits upload I dont want to keep resetting my router every day, I would be grateful for any advice. Many Thanks.
