I agree. Larger, faster relays help clients achieve low-latency, high bandwidth connections. But depending on your processor speed, you might find that each tor instance can only use about ~300Mbps before it maxes out the CPU. (And it can take a few weeks for a new tor relay to get to the maximum.) So you may need 3-4 tor instances on your 1Gbps connection. And you can only have 2 tor instances per public IPv4 address. -- Tim / teor PGP C855 6CED 5D90 A0C5 29F6 4D43 450C BA7F 968F 094B ricochet:ekmygaiu4rzgsk6n ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
