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
