After starting the tor deamon some megabytes got counted. But then stoped counting all further traffic until vnstat -u, then counted again only some megabytes. Just reinstalled vnstat today and now it seems to work pretty well. The relay is limited to 1-2Mbyte/s now, lets see how long it stays. Am I going over my allowance or is somebody elso going over her/his allowance? They sell anonymous vservers for 5 bucks. Who cares? What if on my vacations someone gets access and makes 180 TB for a month? The question was more likely: Should i care? I don't care for the server, don't need it anymore. One could think: So long, and thanks for all the fish! -or- Thanks for the contribution whoever it was. tim -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Access all of your messages and folders wherever you are _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
