greetings!
i setup a new tor exit server and am seeing this in the log messages:
18:25:01 [WARN] Failing because we have 1352 connections already. Please read doc/TUNING for guidance. [11430 similar message(s) suppressed in last 21600 seconds]
any ideas why?
this is happening on a shared VPS, running ubuntu 16.04 and tor v0.2.8.8. i'm starting to think it's some limitation by the VPS provider.
uname -a shows a old kernel (possibly centos 6):
Linux km14133-25 2.6.32-042stab113.21 #1 SMP Wed Mar 23 11:05:25 MSK 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
i've made sure tor has enough "max open files" available via limits.conf:
# cat /proc/$(pgrep tor)/limits|grep "open files" Max open files 65536 65536 files
i'm starting to scratch my head. maybe i should do some intense debugging on this box..
cheers, david
