Re: [tor-relays] Hardware requirements for a fast Tor relay



Hi Gary,
thank you for your response.
I think I just worry too much.
I watched my relay all the time today, I had bandwidth usage of 30MB/s at times and HTOP showed me a Load average of 0.29/0.29/0.30. I know that this is totally fine for a dual core.
The relay is up and running for 3 days and 8 hours now and I already moved ~700GB in each direction (upload/download). I was just concerned because the VPS started crashing after 2 weeks solid uptime, but I should have set stricter bandwith limits. 
You can't really compare a VM with a root server, I don't think this will happen again.
It's ok for me to invest a little more and have a fast and stable relay this way. The traffic was capped with the VPS plan, this was obviously a big disadvantage, now I can use as much traffic as I want with a 2,5Gbit link (1Gbit guaranteed).
For your info, the most important lines of my config:
SocksPort 0
Log notice file /var/log...
Log debug file /var/log...
ORPort 443
RelayBandwithRate 1000Mbit
RelayBandwithBurst 1000Mbit
Exit policy reject *:*
ContactInfo & Nickname set, of course... ;)

Is there anything I should change?

Thanks for your help!

Best Regards...
