Hello,
I have been running a tor middle relay[1] for the past few months. Apart from tweaking the configuration a few times, I didn't have to do much to get things working.
One thing that I noticed in the last two months is that my relay is eating up the 1tb bandwidth in the first three weeks. So I am thinking of moving to a better plan or tweaking the current config to serve the bandwidth so that the relay is up for the entire month.
Btw, here is my .torrc
ORPort 443 DirPort 80 Exitpolicy reject *:* Nickname orpheus ContactInfo orpheus.tor@risup.net Log notice file /var/log/tor/notices.log RelayBandwidthRate 1024 KB RelayBandwidthBurst 1024 KB MaxAdvertisedBandwidth 1024 KB DisableDebuggerAttachment 0 AccountingMax 500GBytes AccountingStart month 1 0:00
Thank you!

I assume that you want a recommendation. A better plan probably means spending more money. Would be better for the network. If you can spare the money, go for it.
If you dont want to spend more money than it would be a good idea to lower the Rate value until you end up within your traffic limit for the month. The benefit would be a permanent available relay.
Hello Sebastian,
Thanks for responding.

Hmm, I think I will try changing the rate and see what happens. Last year, I used a daily limit instead of monthly one. It drastically reduced the relays reported bandwidth ( 1Mbps to 60 kbps ).
Thanks!
