Re: [tor-relays] Monitoring exit node traffic by port?

Hi Isaac,

The tool “ifconfig” shows the amount of traffic since last reboot. The tool vnstat is nice but you should check what data it stores. Any data collection however small is a fine line with US Federal Wiretapping laws. Be careful. Running a Tor Exit at your home is dangerous, it might be better to run a middle relay. As always thanks for running Tor Exits.

Cordially,
Nathaniel

Greetings fellow relay operators, 

Do you monitor outbound traffic from your relays by port? I run an exit node relay from my house allowing only "safe ports" that are not likely to generate complaints and I would like to keep an eye on how much traffic is coming from the Tor network through those ports to the Internet. Anyone? Do you use a tool like vnstat on the interface? 

Make your day great,
