[tor-relays] Home Router limits question
Would tor show something in its log if I were hitting my router's limit? Seeing nothing there or in my router's gui log interface, but not sure what I should expect to see.

It's hard for tor to work out the difference between a relay that's not being used, a slow relay, and a relay that is being restricted by the router. We expect fast, busy relays to have about 5000 connections open all the time. Can you tell us the fingerprint of your relay, and how many connections it has open right now? There should be a heartbeat message in the logs. T ___ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays

If you don't restrict the capacity that Tor is supposed to use by setting options like "BandwidthRate" etc. in torrc, your relay will simply use all the bandwidth that is availible. So Tor will automatically push your router or your internet connection's capacity to their upper limits. That is, if you have less bandwidth availible than a single relay will even be assigned by the Tor network, of course. There are limits for that as well. -- OpenPGP Key: 47BC7DE83D462E8BED18AA861224DBD299A4F5F3 https://www.parckwart.de/pgp_key signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
