------------------------------+--------------------------
Tor fails to start if RelayBandwidthRate < 75 KB/s despite stated minimum
in just above where this value is set in /etc/tor/torrc:
## Define these to limit how much relayed traffic you will allow. Your
## own traffic is still unthrottled. Note that RelayBandwidthRate must
## be at least 20 kilobytes per second.
and on some web documentation (General Tor FAQ,
https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#BandwidthShaping):
"The minimum BandwidthRate setting is 20 kilobytes per second."
Excerpt from /var/log/syslog:
[warn] Failed to parse/validate config: RelayBandwidthRate is set to 20480
bytes/second. For servers, it must be at least 76800.
[err] Reading config failed--see warnings above.
systemd[1]: tor@default.service: control process exited, code=exited
status=1
systemd[1]: Failed to start Anonymizing overlay network for TCP.
systemd[1]: Unit tor@default.service entered failed state.
Tor starts properly when RelayBandwidthRate >= 75 KB/s.
Suggest changing recommendation in default torrc file comments and on web
rather than lowering minimum allowed RelayBandwidthRate.
