[tor-relays] a couple noob questions

2024-08-19 Thread observatory123 via tor-relays
Dear fellow relay operators, I've been hosting a tor relay on a VPS (strato) for a couple days now. I've never done this before, so I have a couple of questions: - Is it normal for my relay to only use up only about 2 MB/s after nearly 5 days of uptime despite bandwidth speed tests done with sp

Hi Landon, Aarch64 is a supported architecture for tor, although it appears there isn't a buildbot for binaries. It'll be easiest to just compile from source, which I'll help you with. First you install dependencies and fine GNU software (I'm guessing some of the dependency names, as debian-bas
