With an upgrade to ubuntu 13.10 x64 there seem to be no more support for aesni module - so it doesnt seem to be usable any more. With older ubuntu releases it works.

https://www.torservers.net/wiki/setup/server#aes-ni_crypto_acceleration Does this help already?

I've recognized that some configurations are running easily with an higher throughput - but could not figure out whats the reason for it. My VPS'es are almost running in an KVM environment - but the 2 fastest ones running on OpenVZ hypervisor.

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

Hi,

Thanks for going through the trouble of running an exit relay!

Today, few weeks from last incident, they just pulled out ethernet cable from my VPS and I am not sure what to do.

Looks like this ISP is not suitable for Tor exit relays. Please add it to the https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/GoodBadISPs page, and find a better one. I'm afraid there's not much else you can do. Make sure to inform the ISP beforehand about the risks, be fast and polite in answering abuse complaints, and as long as the ISP doesn't know you well enough make sure the ISP of all places understands how you handled the complaint and why. For example, for the POP3 case, you could have offered to block POP3 altogether.

In case you haven't seen it already, this is a must-read for exit operators: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TorExitGuidelines
