Guidance on optimal Tor relay server configurations

Hi All, Looking for guidance around running high performance Tor relays on Ubuntu. Few questions: 1) If a full IPv4 /24 Class C was available to host Tor relays, what are some optimal ways to allocate bandwidth, CPU cores and RAM to maximize utilization of the IPv4 /24 for Tor? 2) If a full 10 Gbps connection was available for Tor relays, how many CPU cores, RAM and IPv4 addresses would be required to saturate the 10 Gbps connection? 3) Same for a 20 Gbps connection, how many CPU cores, RAM and IPv4 addresses are required to saturate? Thanks! Sent with [Proton Mail](https://proton.me/mail/home) secure email.

Yay, family key's are live: Implemented-In: Tor 0.4.9.1-alpha, Arti 1.4.1 https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/torspec/-/blob/main/proposals/321-ha… https://community.torproject.org/relay/setup/post-install/family-ids/ Copy the MyFamilyKey.secret_family_key file into the KeyDir of _every_ _one_ of your relay. Oooh, damn it. No ansible. Happy copy pasting happy-families ;-) -- ╰_╯ Ciao Marco! Debian GNU/Linux It's free software and it gives you freedom!

Fw: tor-relay transmitted packets

Hello. How can I limit the number of transmitted packets to 190,000? The VPS server constantly turns on the network limitation due to the large number of transmitted packets. ------- Forwarded Message ------- От: borisich76(a)protonmail.com <borisich76(a)protonmail.com> Дата: пятница, 14 марта 2025 г., 11:44 Тема: tor-relay transmitted packets Кому: tor-relays(a)lists.torproject.org <tor-relays(a)lists.torproject.org> > Hello.

Hello, We've reached our goal of 200 new WebTunnel bridges! But more bridges is always better, and there's still time to join the campaign and help Tor users bypass censorship. As a thank you, you'll also get a Tor t-shirt! Read our blog post & bridge campaign rules for participation: https://blog.torproject.org/call-for-webtunnel-bridges/ The campaign officially ends on March 10, 2025 at 23:59 UTC. :) Gus -- The Tor Project Community Team Lead
