I tried KVM and OpenVZ some years ago for high bandwidth relays, and couldn't get it to make decent throughput at all. I now run all our fast relays "on bare metal".
But anyway im interested on reactivating that function as it seems to really speedup relay's speed.
Unless you max out /all/ your CPU cores, you can and should simply spin up more Tor processes in parallel, one per CPU core, and limit their bandwidth so they never hit 100% CPU usage. -- Moritz Bartl https://www.torservers.net/ ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Tue, 4 Mar 2014 00:43:54 -0800 From: "dope457" <dope457@riseup.net> To: tor-relays@lists.torproject.org Subject: Re: [tor-relays] Exit Relay on VPS by WEDOS Message-ID: <0da23911717602772537f88415043d39.squirrel@fruiteater.riseup.net> Content-Type: text/plain;charset=utf-8 Thanks for the reply. Well, the bad thing is the ISP is already listed there as good one with no problem with exits. I also asked them about Tor before I even started and they acted cool... Best, dope457

To relay (forward) traffic for other users, you will have to configure your system to receive incoming traffic on one port of your choice. This usually means setting up port forwarding on your router. Then, locally, if you run Windows, you can use the Vidalia Relay bundles from the download page: https://www.torproject.org/download/download.html.en Be careful: If you allow Tor users to "exit" from your relay, this means that your computer will not only forward Tor traffic, but also allow people to use your relay to access Internet resources. For the resource accessed, it looks like the request is coming from you. Some Tor users abuse the system of anonymity, and you will have to explain why it wasn't you. So, in short, people who allow exiting must know what they're doing. The manuals linked on the left of https://www.torproject.org/docs/manual.html.en have some more detail. -- Moritz Bartl https://www.torservers.net/

You need to read the docs. Go to torproject.org and start there. If you don't yet use GNU/Linux you might try Fedora or Debian but probably _don't_ change OS _and_ start running a relay at the same time. Although it's not 'hard', there is a learning curve. Good luck, Zenaan
