Re: [tor-relays] New exit node



Hi,

OVH also has some traffic limits, that get cut down to 10 Mbps
(depending on the plan). So you could probably have a fast relay until
the limit is reached and then keep doing 10 Mbps.

If the goal is to have better geographic diversity, I think a slower (or
a bursting) relay might still be a good choice. Having relays do
hundrets of Mbps is nice - but not the only way to have a useful relay.

Best regards,
Matthias
