Hi all I just started investigating and getting involved with Tor project. I have configured my router to port forwarding on one of its ports. Is there a way or some steps to follow in order to confirm that my bandwidth is being used by the relay? I have checked and the port it's open. Thanks -- Alfredo Bollati

https://www.torproject.org/docs/documentation.html.en is a good starting point. Once you have studied the available documentation and are able to ask specific questions, you will be more likely to get answers via this mailing list. -Ralph

First thing to do would be configure Tor to log to a file and to read that file. You can check it to see if Tor logs any issues, and every 6 hours Tor will log bandwidth usage information. Matt

Have a look at Nyx (successor to Arm). On Sun, 12 Nov 2017 at 17:01 Matt Traudt <sirmatt@ksu.edu> wrote:

Hi Alfredo, Alfredo Bollati:

This mailing thread may be of use: http://archives.seul.org/or/relays/Aug-2010/msg00034.html Other ways that you can check the bandwidth usage of your relay is Atlas (https://atlas.torproject.org/) where you can search your relay's fingerprint note that the data presented there are not real time but may help to "visualize" easier some tor relay terminologies. Since your relays is new it's bandwidth is not going to be fully utilized read this blog post to find out about the lifecycle of a new relay in Tor: https://blog.torproject.org/lifecycle-new-relay Hope this helps. Thank you for running relays! Cheers, ~Vasilis -- Fingerprint: 8FD5 CF5F 39FC 03EB B382 7470 5FBF 70B1 D126 0162 Pubkey: https://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x5FBF70B1D1260162
