Hey there, I'm not sure if I mentioned this on a public channel before, but I'm running a bandwidth authority from a VPS in HK. It has been running since Aug 1st, 2016. For now, the results are being pushed to a repo[0] on a hourly basis. I thought I'd mention this for anyone who wants to study them or if any of the DAs need a bwscanner to pair with. I'm planning to keep this running for the foreseeable future. You can directly fetch the latest scan[1][2] or measured percentage[3]. I can later put them on a webserver if that makes a difference.

(There's a big dip near the end of the month, but it doesn't seem to have lasted long.) That means that meek-azure and meek-amazon are under increased load compared to before--about 7 TB/month for meek-azure and 3 TB/month for meek-amazon. If I get a chance, I'm going to try installing an ECDSA (as opposed to RSA) certificate on meek-azure, and see if it relieves the CPU load. If you are one of the users affected by the meek-google shutdown, see here for a workaround: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-talk/2016-June/041699.html == Amazon a.k.a. meek-amazon == Asia Pacific (Singapore) 77M requests $93.24 428 GB $57.27 Asia Pacific (Sydney) 6M requests $7.52 33 GB $4.51 Asia Pacific (Tokyo) 1M requests $1.38 7 GB $0.95 EU (Ireland) 299M requests $359.00 997 GB $77.22 Global 1M requests $1.91 6 GB $0.48 South America (Sao Paulo) 22M requests $49.82 177 GB $42.23 US East (Northern Virginia) 247M requests $247.36 1214 GB $95.24 -- total 655M requests $760.23 2865 GB $277.90 charge for alarms $0.50 https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/F4AD82B2032EDEF6C02C5A529C42CFAFE5165… == Azure a.k.a. meek-azure == Zone 1 6731 GB $585.61 Zone 2 156 GB $ 21.52 -- total 6887 GB $607.13 https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/AA033EEB61601B2B7312D89B62AAA23DC3ED8… Earlier reports in this series: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/meek#Costs
