[tor-relays] First (positive) experiences with a Tor Relay on Raspberry Pi3
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512
Hi,
I've just moved my Tor relay installation from my alix1.c embedded
system (500Mhz CPU with 256Mb ram) which was able to offer only 4Mbps
(100% CPU utilization) to a new Raspberry Pi3 (quad-core 1.2Ghz 64-bit
cpu with 1 GB ram). Some days ago I've seen some messages on the ML
about Pi2 performance (if I remember well) and I'd like to share my
first experiences with Pi3. I have only 20Mbps connection in the
uplink direction, so I'm offering about 15Mbps for Tor relay and I've
just seen that it is able to offer 14Mbps with 40% of a single core
utilization.. In conclusion, I think that a single relay on Pi3 can
offer about 30-40 Mbps, and if you run 4 tor relays on the same Pi3
you can offer more than 100Mbps which is definitely not bad for such a
small system. The only drawback is that you need to find a good way
for keeping it cold, since after 1 hour of 1 core at 100% I've reached
about 70ÂC with heatsinks on the CPU.
I just wanted to share my experience with you, hope you find it
interesting :)
Have a nice week
