> 1) What exactly would we pay for? > > Agree on 100+ mbps exit node funding. Also agree with Moritz's suggestion that there be a form that limits fund disbursement on a per-ISP level, to encourage ISP diversity (and contribute to the discovery of new "known good" ISPs for tor). *Continued* fundi

This is in response to something from Roger's email on funding exit relays, but I didn't want to derail such an important conversation by responding directly. He mentioned: "At the same time, much of our performance improvement comes from better load balancing -- that is, concentrati

[tor-relays] How do I run more than one tor instance on an exit node?

Hey guys, My old host shut down my exit node for abuse complaints (forum spam, of all things...), and I just got up and running again on a new host in Romania. It's fast and works well (250+ mbps to 1gbps depending on time of day), the only trouble is I seem to get hardly any traffic passed t

[tor-relays] Tor Network Map advertising available B/W way too low

2012-06-13 Thread Name Withheld
Hello, I just set up an exit node (PrivacyFoundation on the list), and while I've got 5mbps up, it only advertises as 80-90kb b/w available. That's not at all accurate, and I think it's meaning the connection is ending up way underutilized, since I'm not seeing much traffic on the b/w graph. How
