Hi
Part 3 - Looking for feedback on our Tor relay configuration decision:
Looking for guidance on optimizing server / bandwidth spending for Tor guard / middle relays across datacenters.
2Gbps means 1Gbps in and 1Gbps out.
Thanks for the informations.
Overall, using 16 Gbps out of 30 Gbps purchased -- roughly half our bandwidth is idle / "wasted"
Is it right that most (all?) relays are not older than mid of March? If so please take a look at https://blog.torproject.org/lifecycle-of-a-new-relay/ .
As for as I see the relay status page shows not a single relay with a HsDir flag and no uptime above 2 days.
Gaining a trustful relay with good traffic needs much more time alive of the relays (keys). Easily 3 to 6 months.
The relays are on up to date Tor versions 4.8.15 and 4.8.16 what is good!
My recommendation is to let them brew for 2 months. The situation will change.
Cheers and happy relaying, Felix
