I have tried a Banana Pi Pro 1,2 GHz Allwinner A20 -> 10 Mbit/s max (debian)
Beaglebone Black 1 GHz AM335x -> 12 Mbit/s max (debian) Intel NUC5CPYH Celeron N3050 1,6 GHz to 2,16 burst -> 5 Mbit/s max (OpenBSD) So I need something quite a bit more than I have already tried ;-) ________________________________ From: tor-relays <tor-relays-boun...@lists.torproject.org> on behalf of niftybunny <ab...@to-surf-and-protect.net> Sent: 20 March 2017 21:48 To: tor-relays@lists.torproject.org Subject: Re: [tor-relays] What kind of hardware do I need for my relay Even a 1,8 ghz Atom can max out a 100mbit line ... you don't need much ... niftybunny ab...@to-surf-and-protect.net<mailto:ab...@to-surf-and-protect.net> Where ignorance is bliss, 'Tis folly to be wise.

I have a 100 Mbit/s symmetric connection. What should I buy? I don't want to buy something that has a too slow CPU that is not able to push enough traffic, but I also don't want to overkill and get a huge electricity bill. Sebastian, How much CPU does your relay have/use? ________________________________ From: tor-relays <tor-relays-boun...@lists.torproject.org<mailto:tor-relays-boun...@lists.torproject.org>> on behalf of Sebastian Hoffmann <sebast...@machinewithoutbrain.de<mailto:sebast...@machinewithoutbrain.de>> Sent: 17 March 2017 12:39 To: tor-relays@lists.torproject.org<mailto:tor-relays@lists.torproject.org> Subject: Re: [tor-relays] What kind of hardware do I need for my relay Hi Farid, I'm running my Guard / Relay on a VPS with only one core and 512MB RAM. Its also hosting a blog, my own mailserver and is member of pool.ntp.org<http://pool.ntp.org> I haven't encountered any problems so far. It's also connected via 100MBit/sec You can see the stats here: https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/F381D6294A93A0078B76D0DCA332133CF5C8F687 I experimented a bit in the last weeks with being a bridge, but I now I'm back as a Relay... therefore the performance charts are not as high as they have been at the end of last year.

I haven't looked at computer hardware for a long time. What is the cheapest and most power efficient CPU/motherboard that can saturate 100 Mbit/s as a Tor relay?
