Raspberry pi 3 relay performace

Hello everyone, I have a tor relay running on a raspberry with raspbian 9 and tor version 3.4.8, everything is working fine for more then a year. I noticed that the average download/upload is just 1.5 MB and the peak 3.3 MB The Bandwidth configuration is the following: BandwidthRate 9 MB BandwidthBurst 10 MB RelayBandwidthRate 9 MB RelayBandwidthBurst 10 MB MaxAdvertisedBandwidth 9 MB It doesn't look the CPU or memory usage are too high. Is this something normal? How can I improve the performance? Thanks a lot

Is it a 3 B +? _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
Yes, it is a 3B

Similar issue with my Pi 2 B https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/124A65274631BA02B6AA0DEDED144... Since the latest update, performance drops after some time - bandwith speed and in my case permanent loss of the guard flag. Installation date is visible in the stats on metrics. Let me know if some logs would help... Have a nice weekend <tor_manager@autistici.org> schrieb am Sa. 6. Okt. 2018 um 01:31:

Depending on your location in the world and the speed of your network connection, 20-35% utilisation is pretty normal. (Tor load balances for throughput and latency.)
It doesn't look the CPU or memory usage are too high. Is this something normal? How can I improve the performance?
If you want your relay to use more bandwidth, stop limiting the bandwidth. Remove BandwidthRate, BandwidthBurst, and MaxAdvertisedBandwidth from your config, then wait a week or two and see what happens. Increase the RelayBandwidthRate and RelayBandwidthBurst, then wait a week or two and see what happens. If that doesn't work, try reading the detailed instructions here: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TorRelayGuide https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/MyRelayIsSlow T

Probably related to this issue: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/27813 At least the description fits to what I see on my relay based on Raspbian. Same bandwith settings as with all previous versions so I assume it is not related to a wrong torrc config. teor <teor@riseup.net> schrieb am Di., 16. Okt. 2018, 06:33:

Thanks Remo, it seems that the problem was there also with the previous 3.2 version. Andrea On 2018-10-17 18:02, Remo Näf wrote:

Tor 0.3.4.9 seems to work fine for me, the stats look stable again and I got the guard flag back - looks like my issue is solved.

Thanks teor, I tried to do that and nothing happened, event increasing to 30 MB i get 2MB maximum. Andrea
