Hi, I happened to get my hands on a Raspberry Pi 2 and I was wondering if anyone already has any experience running Tor on the this. There is quite some info about running Tor on the original Raspberry Pi, and the performance seems to be a bit lacking. The Pi 2 however comes with higher clocked quad core Cortex-A7 which should bring an descend in increase in performance. So I'm curious about the throughput a Tor relay on the Pi 2 would achieve. Did anyone here try running Tor on a Raspberry Pi 2 already? And if not, is there any way to test the achievable throughput without joining actually adding the relay to the Tor network (and having to go through the full life cycle)? -- Regards, AVee
Hi AVee, I'm running a Tor relay on a Banana Pi (1GHz Dualcore, Cortex-A7): https://globe.torproject.org/#/search/query=cherryjam That's what vnstat says: month rx | tx | total | avg. rate Feb '15 4.23 TiB | 4.36 TiB | 8.60 TiB | 30.52 Mbit/s Mar '15 5.33 TiB | 5.50 TiB | 10.83 TiB | 34.73 Mbit/s The DC has a dedicated 100Mbit/s connection for my device. So the Raspberry Pi2 should be able to push at least the same amount of traffic. Juris Vetra https://www.torservers.net/ Am 09.04.2015 um 14:28 schrieb AVee:

Juris, Is the reason so much is going through it that it is in a data centre? I thought Raspberry Pis would only let through so little that they were dragging the speed down. Have you put up anything on the web on it? Robert

Hey I had 2.0MB/s~ (according to "Advertised Bandwidth" on Atlas) running through my RPi2 for a while. Seems to do the job and considerably faster than the RPi1. On 9 April 2015 at 14:55, I <beatthebastards@inbox.com> wrote:

Cool, that's four/five times as much as I've seen reported about the Pi 1, making it a lot more usefull. So I'm going to see if the Rapberry can beat the Banana (which isn't a given, it's 100Mhz slower and Tor doesn't really use the extra cores). But we'll see where it ends, I'd be content if I can get it to average above 20Mbit/s AVee On Thursday 09 April 2015 15:31:09 Andrew Smith wrote:

i'm running a relay on my pi2 using raspberian. it chugs along day after day. for me, one of the main reasons i use the pi is low power consumption, and computing resources need power. i am ok with running a somewhat pokey relay, knowing i am still helping even if at a slow rate. so i can assure you it runs, but i have done nothing to try and tweak the performance in any way. -- \js "impermanence"
