$Tor mentioned too often, around 13 times in 17-page pdf, named specifically, and explicitly in order not to be taken seriously. What else but criminalizing? Call it pro law-and-order populism. Once more: Christian "Democrats" led government, this case of North Rhine-Westphalia. -- Herbert K

ARM does work on every relay, it doesnt discriminate. So it works just fine. Your data center should give you some stats. If not: ifconfig is your new friend. > On 6. Mar 2019, at 18:59, Volker Mink wrote: > > Is it really that easy? > Is there any possibility to monitor this bridge with arm?
