Re: [tor-relays] Advice for high throughput Tor node
by Mike Perry 02 Mar '11

02 Mar '11

This discussion is better suited for tor-relays(a)torproject.org. Also, for reference, here is the previous tor-relays thread on the technical aspects of this topic: http://archives.seul.org/or/relays/Aug-2010/msg00034.html And also the social side: https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tips-running-exit-node-minimal-harassment We really need to work on condensing that tor-relays thread into a single document like the blog post. We've still got a lot of mystery and voodoo to unravel in terms of utilizing all spare Tor capcity, though.
