Hey,
new non-exit relay, Debian 11, tor 0.4.7.8-1~d11.bullseye+1, ~ 1 week
old (-> no guard)
KVM VM with atm 4 cores, host passthrough AMD EPYC (-> AES HW accel.).
As can be seen at the attached screenshots memory consumption is
irritating as well as the quite high CPU load.
All was fine when it had ~100 Mbit/s but then onion skins exploded (110
per second -> up to 4k per second) as well as CPU and memory.
Tor complains:
> Your computer is too slow to handle this many circuit creation
requests! Please consider using the MaxAdvertisedBandwidth config option
or choosing a more restricted exit policy.
And from time to time memory killer takes action
torrc is pretty basic:
Nickname 123
ContactInfo 123
RunAsDaemon 1
Log notice syslog
RelayBandwidthRate 2X MBytes
RelayBandwidthBurst 2X MBytes
SocksPort 0
ControlSocket 0

MetricsPort hhhh:sss
MetricsPortPolicy accept fffffff
DirPort yy
Sandbox 1
NoExec 1
CellStatistics 1
ExtraInfoStatistics 1
ConnDirectionStatistics 1
EntryStatistics 1

Ideas/suggestions (apart from limiting BW) to fix this?
Thanks
