Hi all, I'm currently running a Linux relay on one LAN machine. I recently set-up a dual boot win7/Ubuntu 14.04 LTS machine, also on the LAN. For now I'd just like to browse the tor network on the second machine and not run a relay on it for the present. I'm concerned my ISP might give me problems

Hello, Thanks for the info. I chose DO based on pricing, relay owners' opinions and DO's positive attitude towards tor. I wonder what they'll do, and if I should start thinking about different provider. Peter On 2014-05-15 14:14, mick wrote: > On Thu, 15 May 2014 13:44:36 -0400 > Shawn N

The Tor client itself does not generate any significant isp traffic when idle per instance. You may use something like wireshark to verify this. It is somewhat less load on the tor network (circuit creation/maintenance and overhead) to use fewer instances. Assuming your two boxes are running on a
