The "meek" pluggable transport has started getting some users since my blog post two weeks ago (https://blog.torproject.org/blog/how-use-%E2%80%9Cmeek%E2%80%9D-pluggable-tr...). See the attached file userstats-bridge-transport-meek-2014-08-01-2014-08-29.png. Today I logged in to the Google and Amazon accounts to see what the usage looks like. Here is a summary. In short, App Engine cost $1.02 this month, and Amazon cost $2.54.
meek-appspot-2014-08-29.png shows the Google App Engine bytes/second for the month of August. App Engine costs $0.12 per GB, with 1 GB for free each day. It's finally at the point where it's costing money every day:
All of January 2014: $ -- All of February 2014: $0.10 All of March 2014: $ -- All of April 2014: $0.83 All of May 2014: $0.75 All of June 2014: $0.73 All of July 2014: $0.59 August 2014 to date: $1.02
Total to date $4.02
Here are daily totals in the past two weeks:
2014-08-14 $ -- 2014-08-15 $ -- 2014-08-16 $ -- 2014-08-17 $ -- 2014-08-18 $0.09 2014-08-19 $0.00 2014-08-20 $0.04 2014-08-21 $0.07 2014-08-22 $0.09 2014-08-23 $0.07 2014-08-24 $0.03 2014-08-25 $0.09 2014-08-26 $0.19 2014-08-27 $0.07 2014-08-28 $0.28
meek-aws-2014-08-29.png shows the AWS megabytes per day (note that the y-axis is different from the other graph so they are not directly comparable). The charges break down quite differently: there's no cost for bandwidth so far, and all the charges are for the sheer number of HTTPS requests. The Amazon bill is broken down by region:
Asia Pacific (Singapore) Region $0.0090 per 10,000 HTTP Requests 3 Requests $0.01 Asia Pacific (Sydney) Region $ -- EU (Ireland) Region $ -- South America (Sao Paulo) Region $ -- Asia Pacific (Tokyo) Region $0.0090 per 10,000 HTTP Requests 38 Requests $0.01 US East (Northern Virginia) Region $0.0100 per 10,000 Proxy HTTPS Requests (US) 2,513,557 Requests $2.51 $0.0075 per 10,000 HTTP Requests 3 Requests $0.01
Total to date $2.54
