Julien, 

Everything is going well now. I've seen spikes going as high as 8MB/s.
Atlas shows 1.x MB/s measured already and the consensus weight has
picked up a little too. It's been improving slowly. 

The problem was my iptables (embarrassing). I had (by mistake)
blacklisted Tor IPs :-| 

Thanks again.

 Indeed, Julien. 
 
 As a matter of fact I saw the server (using the Tor network) pushing up to 
 8.8MB/s at some point while I was using it as a proxy in my setup. That was 
 yesterday. As soon as I closed the SocksListenAddress I was connecting to, it 
 went back to almost not existent cos' it is weighted 10. Even the Fast flag 
 isn't there. As I said, I'm waiting to see if it picks up relevance in the 
 next day or so.

 If I remember well what I read before, the consensus weight, when

 weight is reduced. If it's really good, your consensus weight is increased 
 (and your server usage too).
 
 If your consensus weight is stuck at 10 and doesn't increase, it would mean 
 that bw authorities cannot test your server and always gives zero as 
 coefficient (if so, you will have to check everything on your network : 
 router, softwares, etc)
 
 The answer is near :)

 Hi Julien, 
 
 Thanks for the tip. I did ssh'd tunnel into my Tor server and I can pull 
 downloads at 1-2MB/s as expected. I do not see my server getting any better 
 in measurements though. After 4 days running my Advertised Bandwidth is 
 barely 62kb/s and its Consensus Weight is 10. I wouldn't mind as long as it 
 serves our Tor community but I'm under the impression that something is just 
 not quite right. This box was put in place specifically to put all its 
 bandwidth to good use and help the network. I have the feeling that a Relay 
 measured at such low speeds does more harm than good to the network. I will 
 keep it up there running as it is since I cannot pinpoint a problem at this 
 time and maybe it just needs to stay online for a longer period of time.

May be it's because of the oversupply of middle nodes on the network (there 
is so much middle nodes that most of them - the slowers - probably keep totally 
unused). Without the guard flag (and it needs enough bandwidth) your relay 
cannot be used as entry guard right now.

Good luck !

Maybe I should just wait longer but the 3 days unmetered has obviously been 
passed already. That's why I'm asking about bwauths measurements. 

I was under the impression that after 3 days bwauths adjust your consensus 
weight and raises your bandwidth estimate. In this case, the server is simply 
capped at 20kb/s still while my advertise bandwidth is little over 50kb/s. 
Since I have a 2MB/s relay, I'm expecting to see at least over 100kb/s or 
250kb/s measurements to make my relay a usable one. Yet the advertised speed 
hasn't changed. Is that normal and should I just give it more time? That's what 
I'm trying to understand.

It strange you still haven't any used bandwidth

https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/48ADFCC561402D7EBB1CDE233F206B01D8FA0765

I cannot explain you why but I have an idea for you in order to kickstart 
your bandwidth usage.

A tor process used to relay traffic also have the possibility to be used as 
client. If it's at home, it's easy (socks v5 at 127.0.0.1:9050 if you haven't 
changed anything), if your relay isn't at home, use SSH tunnelling to do so 
(SSH session brings you to localhost on your remote computer, on the port you 
choose)

Try to download something through your relay, if nothing changed, even the 
client bandwidth will be able to raise your advertised and used bandwidth as 
server, in order for your server to start having weight on the network.

Once started, everything should be automatic but normally, the start is also 
automatic after 2 or 3 days, so it is strange. 

May be it's because of the oversupply of middle nodes on the network (there 
is so much middle nodes that most of them - the slowers - probably keep totally 
unused). Without the guard flag (and it needs enough bandwidth) your relay 
cannot be used as entry guard right now.

Good luck !

Objet: Re: [tor-relays] Bwauths Measures question, friends.




Maybe I should just wait longer but the 3 days unmetered has obviously been 
passed already. That's why I'm asking about bwauths measurements. 

I was under the impression that after 3 days bwauths adjust your consensus 
weight and raises your bandwidth estimate. In this case, the server is simply 
capped at 20kb/s still while my advertise bandwidth is little over 50kb/s. 
Since I have a 2MB/s relay, I'm expecting to see at least over 100kb/s or 
250kb/s measurements to make my relay a usable one. Yet the advertised speed 
hasn't changed. Is that normal and should I just give it more time? That's what 
I'm trying to understand.

Bandwidth rate is set to 2MB/s and burst to 4MB/s. The pipe does have
such bandwidth capacity, certainly.

Re: [tor-relays] Bwauths Measures question, friends.

2014-11-01 Thread Jeremy Olexa
It is normal and you should wait. Eventually, your relay will get more
weight, more connections, and a higher advertised bandwidth. You can
somewhat see the effect when the one month graph is rendered on atlas.
eg, see this new relay
https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/C1B84214C9E336C82CEFF150A47C7FFDBC08C65B

Keep in mind, the network has ample middle relays at the moment so I
would never expect the relay to use all the bandwidth that has been
allocated. At least, that is my experience.
