Hi all,
I'm brand new to this, so I'll apologize in advance if this is a silly question.
I've just recently set up a Tor box on Debian, all looks well, logs show it's happy. I've got it setup for 100 Meg bandwidth, 200M burst.
My confusion is because when I look it up on Globe or Atlas, it shows "Observed" bandwidth as 64.5k, yet it shows "Bandwidth Values" as 100 and 200 Meg, as I have them specified in torrc.
My connection is an unloaded Gig-Eth fiber into a data center directly, I'm the ISP in this case; no filtering anywhere.
What you are observing is normal, expect the observed bandwidth to increase gradually over time as more traffic passes through your relay. For details, please have a look at [1].
