When the relay starts our Internet goes down. Its more like some DNS problem but i cant point the finger on it. The connection is still there but he need a lot of time to resolve the names.
Is this a overkill for our router?
My first question is, what kind of router are you using, and does the problem go away (for a short time or a long time) if you reset the router? I am assuming a consumer-type router.
Sometimes a lot of connections can overload consumer routers, this has definitely happened to mine with both Tor and Bittorrent.
* The router can become overloaded and respond slowly or drop packets * The connection table can fill up, allowing existing connections to work fine, but new connections fail intermittently (web pages half load, DNS gets weird, etc)
Some versions of Windows limited # of connections per second or something like that, where as Linux does not.
Aside from all the logs and config settings the other people on the list asked for - what make and model of router are you using, and are you running anything like OpenWRT, DD-WRT, Tomato on it?
Best, - -Gordon M.
