Thoughts? Cover traffic is only there if the tor instance(s) also run as relay. In that case to be fair they should be declared a family. And then, one could also run *one* tor node for all users with the appropriate multiple of the allowed bandwidth, which should attract about the same cover traffic as if you run a tor instance per user with less bandwidth per instance. >Ringo Kind regards, Hannah.
