Re: [tor-relays] Relay Bandwidth Limit

[Jonathan van der Steege <jonathan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Dan,

Please be aware that the AccountingMax is per direction of traffic (in/out). So 5TB is effectively 2*5=10TB in total.
See also https://support.torproject.org/relay-operators/limit-total-bandwidth/
And maybe you don't want all your bandwidth used and want some traffic reserved for connecting/operating via ssh for example and installing updates during the month.
And indeed, the traffic will stop when the limit is reached or when all bandwidth the VPS provider gave is used.

Regards,
Jonathan

Objet : Re: [tor-relays] Relay Bandwidth Limit

“day 1 00:00”. It looks as though my relay is going to blow past that limit based on the average data transferred per day and how many days are left in the month. Will it simply stop transferring data when the monthly limit is hit?

Thanks
