[tor-relays] Circuit creation storms overwhelming Raspberry Pi?

2013-07-09 Thread temp5
FWIW, I did some tuning on mine (not a pi, but had similar issues) and it seems more stable now too. I added the following to my torrc (where X and Y are your rates/units): MaxOnionsPending 250 BandwidthRate X BandwidthBurst Y RelayBandwidthRate X RelayBandwidthBurst Y I had the RelayBandwidth

Hi torsion, I'm also running a tor relay on a raspberry pi and keep getting these storm creation events which crash the box. You said you made some adjustments to the configs to get a more stable system? Can you please email me copies of the configs or maybe list the changes you made? I'm trying

Hi, Yes. This is absolutely on my to-do list. I've had a family medical emergency and about 2 or 3 other things recently about that level of stress, but BELIEVE me, a strategy for getting a Raspberry Pi to be a rock solid relay is of paramount importance to me. I'm hoping to figure out all the

I've been seeing these storms as well on my relay. I average something like 100 connections for weeks and weeks per the tor logs, but then suddenly it will jump into the thousands and I'll see the Failed to hand off onionskin. and Your computer is too slow to handle this many circuit creation

I'm also having some problems with my rpi node going down every few days due to lack of resouces and needing a reset. Can you mail me with some of the alterations you made which might make it more stable? Thanks. T On Jun 5, 2013 10:42 AM, te...@tormail.org wrote: I've been seeing these storms

Hi, out camping far from the Pi and much data coverage. I will post when I get back. I'm hoping somebody could pique the interest of a Tor developer about these circuit creation bursts, so far I haven't had success - hope this thread keeps going. On Wed, Jun 5, 2013, at 10:08 AM, Thomas Hand

I did a lot of tuning on the Raspberry Pi and it's now much, much more stable as a Tor relay, but just now I had another circuit creation storm. Interestingly, the Pi remained up, and my *router* crashed. I've also seen huge bursts of circuit creation on a relay I run on a VPS, but as it's a

I'm also seeing occasional messages like this on the Pi (it never lasts long): 18:13:24 [ARM_NOTICE] Relay resumed 18:13:18 [ARM_NOTICE] Relay unresponsive (last heartbeat: Mon Mar 18 18:13:04 2013) 17:28:43 [ARM_NOTICE] Relay resumed 17:28:38 [ARM_NOTICE] Relay unresponsive (last heartbeat: Mon
