Re: [tor-relays] running first Relay, low budget VPS on a Gigabit line

Hi Tim,

Today iftop shows the VPS puts 35 MByte/s in both directions through the line. *Phew* The hosting plan includes 50GB per month so I'm a bit over the fair use.

What would you do? Let it run? throttle down? do no harm?

Check the comments and variables in the configuration file. The ones you are looking for are:

RelayBandwidthRate RelayBandwidthBurst AccountingMax AccountingStart

Any suggestions how to measure the traffic would be appreciated, must be roughly 12 TB the last 2 days.

There are a number of approaches. I am running vnstat for this purpose.
