Which OS do you use? In my experience I had to recompile OpenSSL with the Padlock patch: https://romanrm.net/openssl-padlock And then Tor would simply crash if such patched OpenSSL is installed and HardwareAccel is enabled in torrc. However I did not try the 0.2.8.1-alpha. > In /etc/tor/torrc: > HardwareAccel 1 > AccelName padlock Do you get messages about successfully using 'padlock' in /var/log/tor/log? > I see with iptraf 60.000kbit/s peak with 30% uses of main CPU. Do you mean 60 Mbit? If so, then that's a very good result for only 30% CPU. > I'm wondering if that small boxes are hitting a limit of the hardware > acceleration or limit of the provider or Tor network itself. Remember the Tor network won't instantly use 100% of your CPU or bandwidth capabilities, it will take time to ramp up to speed: https://blog.torproject.org/blog/lifecycle-of-a-new-relay > There's a way to measure the uses of the hw acceleration given by the > Via Padlock, if it's at 10% of it's capacity or 100% ? There is no way, the only hint you have is the general CPU load. -- With respect, Roman
