Re: [tor-relays] High speed Tor relay advice



Hey!

So the server is technically a VPS, it is a slice of a larger server that is shared with 5 other people. Though I still have full root access. So the whole 10gb/s is not just for me, but from my tests I can at least get a few gigabit in real world speeds sustained.

CPU: 6x Xeon E5-2620v3 vCores
RAM: 10GB

I only get one IP address to myself by default. I could probably get more though if I feel it is worth it.

Hey,

That's neat! Thanks for contributing.

How many CPU's / CPU cores does this new server have and does it use
AES-NI? How much RAM? Does it have multiple public IP addresses?

Currently it's complicated for a single Tor process to saturate a 10Gb/s
line, because it's not yet able to use all CPU cores.

What I would do if I had multiple public IP addresses: make 4-5 virtual
machines, with 1 CPU core each and reasonable RAM (say 8GB per virtual
machine) and run 4-5 different relays that would all combined come close
to saturate the 10Gb/s link.

Hi all,

I've ran multiple Tor relays before but I have moved to a new server and
would like some advice.

My new server has 10Gb/s connection (I've observed it at 900MB/s to the
drives) with plenty of CPU and RAM to complement. I typically use
default configurations on my relays but I feel that to get the most out
of this one I'll need to do some configuration to tweak it.

Does anyone have advice on getting the most out of this server, in terms
of speed?

Thanks
