It's a 20 Mbit down / 1 Mbit up connection without daily disconnect. Other than DSL you keep your connection for months with a cable ISP.

Iâve got 50Mbit down/10Mbit up at home and planned to give about 5Mbit to the relay. As far as Iâve seen yet, even exit relays donât run at 100% all the time, so I might adjust that.

Been running a relay at home for about 3-4 months now and like other poster barely notice the traffic. IIRC recommended upstream bandwidth is 2Mpbs or greater, if you run a relay on a connection without enough bandwidth (in either direction) it's not really helping the network, (Roger sez!). Sorry don't have a reference link handy for this factoid. Also make sure the connection is stable.

Thanks for that! So my 5Mbit estimate is already more than enough, good to know.

About stability, Iâve read this part of the Tor FAQ https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#RelayFlexible and I think I can check off each item.

Just _make sure_ that your exit policy is set to reject all, the default torrc config makes it an exit node with no outbound restrictions last time I checked.

Yes, as every documentation and tutorial I found also mentions this, being an exit relay seems to be default. Thanks again for pointing that out.

Cheers,

Jannis
