Re: [tor-relays] How many threads needed for unbound at a fast relay?

2020-08-24 Thread Tim Niemeyer
Hi Toralf All F3 Netze relays together are using one unbound with 4 CPU Cores. Each consumes about ~20%. It's a Xeon(R) CPU E3-1230 V2 @ 3.30GHz (w/o Hyperthreading). Tim Am Samstag, den 22.08.2020, 09:12 +0200 schrieb Toralf Förster: > I do wonder about a reasonable number. > > -- > Toralf >

Hi Karsten For the RIPE Region (the resources from RIPE) the correct source is the RIPE Database. There is an "country" attribute on the inetnum and inetnum6 objects. Last time I checked maxmind, it was completely wrong about 185.220.100.0/22. I reported to them, but didn't get any response.

Hi nusenu Thanks for your explanation. You are right in all points. But they are a bit of theoretical, because we don't have big choice here. Further I don't think a big exit is the opposite of our goals, it's just the beginning. Theoretical So what can we do to achieve the ideal distributed

[tor-relays] Very high CPU Load and low Traffic since Sunday

2019-08-18 Thread Tim Niemeyer
Hello I've noticed a reduction in tor traffic about 50% since Sunday. The cpu load stayed almost same. The amount of TCP Sessions increased from ~34k to ~65k. Also the abuse rated about network scans got increased since Sunday. Does anyone knows what's there going on? My guess is that since

Hi nusenu After reading your Mail, I realized that not the DNS records for the exit IPs are failing. Instead this list shows problems to resolve dns on the exit. I looked at our exit and all looks fine. Resolver works very fast and nothing imporint within the logfile. Only some dudes use
