I have some experience running a Tor relay, and I am now interested in setting up another one. I plan to do this using my home internet connection, which is an FTTH line with bandwidth up to 2 Gbps. I have read that it is possible to run multiple relays on the same node, but I am unsure how to configure this.
The most important steps from "man tor-instance-create"
systemctl stop tor <- if already running
tor-instance-create 00 tor-instance-create 01 systemctl enable tor@00 systemctl enable tor@01 systemctl mask tor@default systemctl daemon-reload
Configure torrc in /etc/tor/instances/* and then start individually or all together: systemctl start tor
Additionally, I am curious about what would be most beneficial for the Tor network today: a highly resilient bridge or multiple relays managed from the same node?
If you set up a relay with residential IP, it would be very good if you set up a bridge specifically for Turkmenistan first. Use this torrc-example fron Gus: https://forum.torproject.org/t/tor-relays-help-turkmens-to-bypass-internet-c...
Mail your bridge line to: frontdesk@torproject.org Unfortunately, this bridge is usually discovered after a few weeks and then you can reconfigure it. (Relay or bridge) Please note Gary's post!
If your provider already has a Tor tag in the BGP database like mine, then most likely the entire AS of Turkmenistan is blocked. :-( https://bgp.tools/as/8422
