Hello,<br /><br />I've only recently joined this list, so I apologise in advance if this is not the appropriate place for my question.<br /><br />For the past month, I have been operating an exit node ( 89094DFA4158C7A1583EC3A332CDCBC74A28CC0E ) from UnitedIX in Chicago, IL, US. The server has a dedicated gigabit port, and I had hoped to be able to relay around 200 TB of traffic per month, but for some reason my advertised bandwidth has been hovering at just 12 MiB/s since the first few days.<br /><br />The server itself is an older Supermicro PfSense server with a Xeon E3-1270v3 at 3.5ghz and 32gb of RAM. It is currently running the latest stable release of FreeBSD (12.0p7) and Tor (0.4.0.5).<br /><br />As far as I can tell, the machine is mostly idle:<br /><br />* The Tor process is the most active, and I've yet to see it go above 5% CPU.<br />* Memory usage is under 1.5gb.<br />* Running `speedtest-cli` (even to different servers using the `--server` option) consistently gives 600mbps+ in both directions to most destinations.<br />* There's nothing interesting in `dmesg` or the debug logs.<br /><br />Does anyone have suggestions for what the bottleneck here might be? I'm happy to share more details about my configuration if that would be helpful.<br /><br />Thank you in advance for any help that you are willing to provide! I think Tor provides a lot of value, and I would like to provide as much bandwidth as I can to the network.<br /><br /><div>-- Alec<br /></div></blockquote></div>
