Re: [tor-relays] Call for discussion: turning funding into more exit relays



Just throwing my 2 cents in, we're running loki on a decade old dell pe1950 p3 (32bit) w/ 2GB of ram. We average about 5.2 Mbps of traffic. That said I'm looking forward to seeing what increases a 64 cpu would bring.

That's a good quote for 1Gbps.

Would this be helpful / viable option for a Tor exit node ?
Yes.

I also had just one question: what are the specs required for a Tor node?
It does not seem too resource intensive but I have not been able to find
any minimum system requirements. Would a current / last-generation quad
core with 8GB + would suffice?
A quad-core Xeon X3350 at 2.66 GHz can easily push 500 Mbps of Tor
throughput (500 Mbps up, 500 Mbps down).  CPU is a fairly limiting
factor.  Having AES-NI is a benefit.  8GB RAM is reasonable; there's no
reason to have more, but less is a tight squeeze.
