Hi Christian,
a AMD EPYC 7642 should be able to saturate that 20 GBit/s connection fine, Mainboard depends on what you prefer. Supermicro, HP and so on have all Mainboards for that CPU, so choose the one you prefer.
Dear Tor friends, the NGO I am volunteering for (Digitalcourage e.V.) has been running modest Tor exits for many years. Now we finally have the opportunity to run a high-bandwidth exit relay because we found a data center with a nice internet connection (20 Gbit/s) we may use. My question is: What kind of hardware should we buy to utilize this bandwith? I am told that we need an SFP+ networking card to connect to the fibre optics cable, but what CPU and mainboard would you recommend nowadays? It should fit into a 1 height unit 19" enclosure. If you prefer to tell me in person: I will attend the Tor meetup in Brussels on Friday <https://blog.torproject.org/events/tor-meetup-brussels> and the subsequent Freedom Not Fear event <https://www.freedomnotfear.org/>. Cheers, Christian
