This is just plain FUD, what you're doing now. The 3 letter agencies have known about tor, and have been complaining that they can't break it, for a long time now. In fact (iirc), they even supported its development at some point, because they use it themselves. The fact that they're using it is n

Hello, I have been running a middle relay for one year in a few days. I would expect the relay to push more traffic than it does. https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/875F74A3DC14737BECA06F8B500022154D1A29D1 What is the reason for it not handling more traffic? The Internet connection is 2

Looking at Atlas your relay advertises 2.45 MB/s which is quite low for a 100Mbit connection: 2.45 MByte x 8 = 19.6 MbitWhat value do you have in your torrc? For a 100mbit connection it should be at least: BandwidthRate 12 MB -- Originalmeddelande -- Från: "Roman Mamedov" Till: "Aeri

Daniel Boone I missed your SOCKS question. If you do not intend to directly use this Tor instance to access the Tor network, you should leave the SocksPort as it was. By default Tor only listens on localhost:9050 (as the documentation indicates). Therefore, even if you *do* intend to use this Tor

I agree to everything Matt said. A good rule of thumb for tor configuration is "leave everything at default, unless you've got a reason to change it". Also keep in mind that configuration files (and especially their comments) are mostly about what you CAN do, not what you SHOULD do. Regarding th
